Black screen (only with cursor visible) when waking mirror with MMM-PIR-Sensor after long sleep periods
-
I noticed that after long sleep cycles (mostly overnight), the monitor turns on with detected movement (PIR sensor), but MagicMirror itself is just a black screen with my mouse cursor. I have to restart MagicMirror with alt + f4 to load properly after the long sleep. Has anyone had a problem like this? The mirror detects the motion just fine, but I lose everything on the screen when it awakes. Thanks!

@Matthew open the developers window ctrl-shift-i and select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors.
black screen usually means some code running in the browser died
-
@sdetweil next time I get the black screen I’ll take a look!
-
@sdetweil It says that devTools was disconnected from the page. Once page is reloaded, DevTools will automatically reconnect
-
@Matthew hmm. let me think about another debug approach.
-
@sdetweil I remember that I have some problem with an npm library with it (before I start to code)
I don’t remember how I solve itAfter you can try my pir module if you want
-
@Matthew install this module
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Loggingnote that this is a modified version of this module, written by someone else… but I needed to do similar debugging a while back
make its module entry in config.js the top of the list, like this
modules: [ { module: 'MMM-Logging', config: { echoRemote:false, } }, // other modules ]let everything else default
this will collect all the browser logging and console logging together with timestamps…
then start mm like this
cd ~/MagicMirror npm start >somefile 2>&1or use pm2
(all the logging info will be saved in the pm2 logs) -
@sdetweil Thank you! I got the error again today, and this is what the logs said.

that happened on the 15th within 2 seconds of starting…is that the right log?
that says something is already running … do you normally use pm2 to launch MM?
do pm2 status
