      I have been running my mirror successfully for years. Started having issues when I did an update to a module (honestly don’t remember which one) and then went to update MM itself and found that it wasn’t working on my current Pi OS. I copied files and then did a fresh install of Bullseye on the pi. Installed MM and copied files over and all seemed to be working.

      I’ve been having issues now where the network connection seems to drop pretty regularly when it was rock solid before. Not sure if there are issues with Bullseye and the RPI 3B+ or what the next step should be. getting pretty tired of having to regularly pull out a keyboard to reboot the Pi to get the mirror to run properly with internet connections.

        The other odd thing, which is likely unrelated and I will need to touch base with the module developer, is that the Grove Gesture module suddenly no longer commands modules to appear/hide. I had it setup so a swipe would either hide all my modules or show all my modules, and another swipe would hide/show a specific module, and it randomly quit working as well. The module still runs and I get the feedback that it recognized the swipe, but the command to modify the view doesn’t process.

          @alex2 there is a wifi timeout setting. Google search.

          on the swipe… do u have all the right modules loaded?

          swipe sends a notification to some other module, which one?

          none of the defaults hide/show modules on notification

            @alex2 I’ve always had problems with MM hanging (under stretch and bullseye) with RasPi3B+, my solution was this cron job: 0 */3 * * * root systemctl restart pm2-pi

              apologies for the newbie question, but how did you implement this cron job? is it just a run once command or did you need to set it up as a recurring thing?
