  Hello 🙂 I have been using th cmdSwitcht2 plugin for the past 3 years. Last weekend I updated homebridge for the (to me) new UI-X and MM and Raspberry Pi OS… I thought it’d take me an hour or so.

  I can’t get the on-command to work. I tried different commands like 'vcgencmd display_power 1* and the one that is suggested here. vcgencmd display_power 1 does not work. /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p; sudo /bin/chvt 6; sudo /bin/chvt 7 works from user pi, but homebridge runs from a different user also called homebridge.

  When turning the switch on, it logs the following: "Failed to turn on Spiegelmonitor

  [24.9.2021, 09:59:26] [cmdSwitch2] sudo: Kein TTY vorhanden und kein »askpass«-Programm angegeben

  When running tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7 from the console in Homebridge UI X, it says

  chvt: ioctl VT_ACTIVATE: Die Operation ist nicht erlaubt

  I tried to give homebridge the same rights in /etc/sudoers and checked /dev/fb0 rights but I don’t fully understand everything I did there. Has anyone had the same issue before?

  @cowboysdude right… but as the calendar broadcasts its events, a minor addition to a countdown module to use that info could be the ticket

  @mortenbirkelund I know this is really 4 years old, but it was my first match on Google. I couldn’t figure out why logs weren’t printing to terminal.

  Anyhow, to make Electron print to terminal, add this to the environment variables:

  ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=1

  Hope it helps others!

  @sdetweil Sounds good thank you. The whole thing is very weird… now my current weather outside is way off. It says 32 degrees actual temp and that’s way off by like almost 20 degrees, and I’ve double check my coordinates everything matches up and even shows right city state.
