  @cruunnerr said in {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App): @chandra said in {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App): Screen goes off after 120sec, But when it sense the motion, the screen is black. Hint from the main post: To check if it works just go into terminal via ssh and type: sudo tvservice -o to turn off sudo tvservice -p to turn on edit: for some monitors the following commands work better. Please use them if your monitor needs it: vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off vcgencmd display_power 1 to turn on edit: also check this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app/11 A Big Thanks to all. Gone through all the posts. I split up the things. First, checked the screen on and off (by editing the script). Tried the steps. screen on was the problem. so skipped that. second, checked the led lights on and off alone. It worked like a charm. Then gone back to screen on to work together. The problem was with monitor,old one,connected by hdmi-vga adapter. Found a solution: Added sudo tvservice -p sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7 This worked . Now , both working together. I used your lights_on.sh and lights_off.sh and modified as per my liking.

  @marnus There are a couple of Alexa integration modules. A quick search through the module showcase section of the forums will give you some threads about installing and configuring these modules.

  I had a need to run MagicMirror in server mode in a docker container to do some testing. Since I am fairly new to docker I had to do a lot of google searching to get everything working (especially the volumes and networking). I wrote this how-to to guide you through the docker install process, pulling and running the MagicMirror image, and basic configuration. I hope someone finds it useful. https://www.putorius.net/2019/01/testing-magic-mirror-running-in-docker.html

  @asaxena11 sudo wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb sudo apt-get install npm My problem: I made fresh installation of whole magic mirror about 2 weeks ago because I had a problem with screen size - have huge black part of screen which is “covering” right modules. I tried electronOptions, modifiyng the /boot/config.txt and without luck. I am running 2.4.1 on fresh installation of Stretch Lite

  @markv Install Raspbian Stretch with Desktop apt update and upgrade. Install MM (manual installation is recommended.) I think those are enough.

  I think he wants to display the constantly changing time table of his school? Have you looked here to see if there’s a module you could use? Otherwise I’d try the MMM-iFrame module.

  When do you need quotes?

  Those are different types of variables: The first one is a number the second one a string. Boolean only has the values true and false which are exactly the same as writing 1 and 0. the true and false statement is there for readability in the code but gets replaced by 1 and 0 when executing the program So when you put quotes to the number it is a text that includes this number, but you need it as a number you can use for example for calculations (obviously convertions are possible) For strings usually you can use either double or single quotes and both will work. it is usually a thing of consistency (which on is already used) which one you choose. However there are a couple advantages in using double quotes. JSON notation is written with double quotes (although it might work with single quotes aswell) double quotes are more convenient when your already familiar with other programming languages like C that often use double quotes for strings for people without programming experience double quotes are already familiar from their language where a text is marked with double quotes aswell When you need a single quote in the text you can write “It’s a boy”, but you would have to write ‘It’s a boy’ using single quotes to mark that the single quote does not end the string. However when you use double quotes in the string to mark a text inside it’s the other way around : you could write ‘Simon says: “I am happy”’ but with double quotes you need to write “Simon says: “I am happy”” Hope I could clear the confusion a bit.

  Is Magic Mirror something like X-Server is started after automatic log in and then X-clients are launched from some predefined places?

  I think this response is roughly what you’re looking for. The short version is “Magic Mirror is a web application, written in Javascript, that runs on NodeJS, using Electron to display the interface.”
