        @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.

                        Same here. Running the latest ResRobot.

                        But I think others have reported the same problem but with a different module.
