      @cyberdie @schlachtkreuzer6 It seems to be related to a certain module. Most likely it is a memory leak you have too. Try to find out by disabling modules until it works.

      It would be good to find the root cause to this though as many have problems. But that is a bit out of my expertise.

          @retroflex probably we need some code to clear the ram periodically. I think my problem module is the MMM-Globe. But I will have to test it. (about 10 modules… So one module per day… Uff that’s a looooong way.

              Maybe this can be the cause?

                  @retroflex I also got the same issue. MMM-resrobot or something it depends on looks to be causing this. Has anyone found a workaround? Resrobot is one of the main reasons I have the mirror so not really happy about disableing it.

                    @Alvinger Do you know what could be the problem with ResRobot here?

                      @retroflex I can’t think of anythong off hand.

                      I am running an older version of MM myself so haven’t researched the electron issues.
                      Can anyone confirm that the issue started with the new MM version?

                      As I am running my magic mirror on an original Pi 1 with 256MB RAM with no issues whatsoever I am a bit surprised that the module should cause this.

                      Edit: MMM-ResRobot has but one dependency and that is the unirest module.

                      Which version of ResRobot are you running? I did a rewrite to reduce the number of updates w while ago.

                        @alvinger In my case, the problem started after last MM update.
