@cruunnerr @MadScientist Thanks to both of you . For development/tutorial and support. My MM works. I was probably impatient the whole time I was testing. The relay only switches for the first time after the 120 s have expired. But that’s ok that it only occurs when you restart. I consider the problem solved. THANK YOU

@adrien00 I have two modules that relay info back and forth to each other. They are weather modules and I get info and send it over to the other module.

I do this because I needed/wanted some weather info to show up in a specific place so I send my ‘payload’ from the 1st module to the 2nd module…

@heuss60100 I would open an issue on the modules GitHub page to engage the author

@nikki-0 rename the MagicMirror folder

mv MagicMirror macgigmirror.old

then run my install script

Re: Help with setting up mmpm and finding the right ip address

I am having difficulties finding the proper URI for MMPM. I have MM running with pm2 command on my PI3 connected through VNC Viewer and Putty.(via help topic elsewhere) I can get into the json file for the variables and make the adjustments. I used MagicMirror as my PROCESS NAME, and its sketchy for me, which name to input here: pm2, PM2, or just MagicMirror, as in the example.
I haven’t been able to access or view the MMPM gui through browsers on the PI or my browser on my Windows Machine. I know you need more info and I’m able to provide it upon request.

Hello

I did like you and it works perfectly.

Thank you so much.

No problem, glad I could help :)

@bkeyport but u left out the fun…

scripts for install and update here

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

and as you are starting, try out my new config module, that makes editing config.js a thing of the past

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

also, read the two topics listed in my signature… at least you will get to installing modules…

@sdetweil Yh i’ve realised that i am just stupid. All i had to do was to add the pages on the MMM-AlexaControl module and not the MMM-Pages one. Thank you for your help and time :)

@sdetweil , thanks!

@harney because of the problems within the MM world, I ended up controlling my buttons with external python scripts. More flexable, more configurable, and able to do exactly what I want.

@Datfatboi never change the module code ( your second choice)
unless u are fixing a bug or adding some new function.

always put info into config.js

now, your lines for config.js are not correct.

{ module: "MMM-RottenTomatoes", position: "top_left", config: { showHeader: "true" showBoxOffice: "true" showOpeningThisWeek: "true" } },

watch out for the quote style… the curved ones are used by MS office apps…
we need the text ones, straight up and down

also u are missing some required trailing commas
look at each line, and follow the rules

general rules for module definition
{} and [] must be matched
the word to the left of : does not need quotes
the thing to the right of : if a number or, true/false does NOT need quotes
otherwise is needs quotes, single or double doesn’t matter as long as start and end quote are the same

if the thing on the next line is a word , then THIS line needs a trailing comma
if the thing on the next line is {, then THIS line needs a trailing comma

also, indentation makes it MUCH easier to see the {} and []

Hi
I’ve got a rpi4 running magic mirror and was wondering if it is going to be safe to install room assistant on the same machine? Ie when running node -v it shows v10.23.0 while my understanding for room assistant v12.x is required. I wonder if there is an easy way to run a magic mirror on v10.x and room assistant on v12.x?

Thanks,
Alex

can any one share with me " MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI " configarition file ?

@Big11 Here is the answer:

Install the SynoCommunity package source Install ‘git’ using the package manager Now you can use ‘git’ commands from the CLI while SSHed into the Synology.

How to install SynoCommunity:
A. This guide here: https://sys-advisor.com/en/2017/11/05/tuto-synology-comment-ajouter-le-depot-synocomunity-2/
B: Google “add synocommunity to synology” it if that link becomes unavailable.

@amsuvarna27 can u explain more?

U downloaded raspian image on windows
And used some tool to put that into an SD card (etcher is a tool)

Then what happens?

@BKeyport Here’s a more detailed explanation for you and anyone who is curious.

The if (typeof module !== "undefined") {} line checks if there is a global variable named module. If there is, then we must be using a module system and we have to export config using module.exports = config;. If not, then we must be in the browser and config will already be available to any other modules.

In the browser, there is no concept of separate modules (a.k.a. files); script files are loaded in and simply concatenated one after the other. So if you load config.js and then another-file.js, the config variable (var config = { ... } ) will be available as a global variable in another-file.js. The module and require variables are not defined.

In more modern code with a module system, you have to export anything you want to use elsewhere, and import it in modules where you need it. Node.js uses module.exports = ... to export and ... = require("module-to-import") to import.

@CliffordW said in Error while updating.:

. There are actually two update scripts on that page

no, there are two invocations of the same script…

one in test mode,
and
one in apply mode

I don’t know that switch! But it read from dockerfile? My strategy is a bit longer but it can guarantee that all is updated and I can also add git pull for every module in the sequence…

Edit: I give a try, but not works, and didn’t find that on documentation.
