Need help with making the rasberry pi start up delayed

Mykle1

Turn the tv on first?

Its all plugged in to an fancy three way extension cord so when i plug in the “mirrors” cord it powers the tv and pi.

But the pi starts to run right away while the tv i have to push the button ive seen people that delay them and ive seen the code but i dont know how to get to where to put it or what commands to run.

Here the link where ive seen it

If you scroll down you see the codes but i have nonidea how to command them in terminal. Can you walk me through that

Did you utilize pm2 as part of your setup? Possibly you could use;

pm2 start mm --start-delay {time in milliseconds}

*disclaimer, I haven’t tested this.

I did use pm2 but even with pm2 it dont work right itll start up show magic mirrors loading screen then go to raspbian desktop where i have to enter pmstart mm.sh or whatever and then itll load just fine thats also been a struggle that was never resolved that i have coped with tho however
