@dave_ no. its the name that shows in the pm2 status command

pm2 start MagicMirror

dave_

@sdetweil in my case i type in pm2 start mm so for me it’ll be mm!

sdetweil

@dave_ correct… if you had used my scripted install I setup pm2 as MagicMirror
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

sdetweil

@dave_ cause one of the devices is restart MM (using pm2)

sdetweil

can u disable other modules and try discovery something is blocking it from working…

do you have vpn on, or firewall, or is this on magicmirror OS under docker?

dave_

@sdetweil nope nothing like that

sdetweil

@dave_ did u try disabling other modules

dave_

@sdetweil yes i did still no luck i think I’ll just wait for a new module like this to come out and hopefully that’ll work

Thanks for your help appreciate it
