MagicMirror on secondary monitor
-
@sdetweil Thank you, I was hoping to have just one computer with the home automation software and MM but i guess I will have to keep a pi exclusively for MM.
-
@clakkentt FWIW, the same thing happens on the PI - I’ve got a dual monitor set up, and when I turn off the monitors, they not only smash onto one screen, but shrink WAY down.
-
It’s not a matter of clearing the screen so I can use the mirror, rather it i about not wasting energy on a monitor when most of the time we are not there.
I am going to try a two step process, stop MM, then turn off the monitor and on the reverse start the monitor and then start MM
Thanks again

@BKeyport The pi I mentioned is a pi 3 with a single HDMI that I now have in the mirror. I am hoping to eliminate that and use a desktop computer that runs 24/7 to run MM on the mirror monitor as the second one.

@clakkentt understood
-
@clakkentt Yeah – I get that… Sadly, I don’t think there’s a way to get around “Stupid video driver tricks” in this case, sadly.
