[sdetweil]

@RIKKO14 i think the ‘failed to read the sensor’ error lead to the power off command being issued…

but don’t know

@RIKKO14 that is dev window open on forum page, not MM page

[RIKKO14]

that’s te problem…
you ask me to do ctrl+shift+i on the mirror keyboard :
but the screen is powered off so nothing displayed, i don’t know if it’s displayed something, I can’t see it…
or i don’t anderstand to acceed MM page with my pc, I have only this :

[sdetweil]

@RIKKO14 edit the config.js on the mirror

change address and ipWhitelist like this

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

restart mm…

now on your pc you can do
http://pi_ip:8080

and then u can open the dev window on that page

i thought you said earlier you had removed the command to make your mirror screen turn off
so you know which code is issuing the command… tell where that was

[RIKKO14]

But I have only acces to my MM with SSH, so how to edit the config.js on the mirror with ssh ?

[sdetweil]

@RIKKO14 on the ssh terminal, (its a terminal window, same as works on pi)

cd MagicMirror/config
nano config.js

fix the text (move the cursor with the arrow keys and type and backspace
then ctrl-o to write the changes back out and ctrl -x to exit nano
then type pm2 restart 0

for your windows box, get winscp, then u can connect to pi as both terminal window (for commands)
and a file system view, like windows, double click on folder to go in, or file to edit… use your favorite pc editor (I use notepad++_)

[RIKKO14]

I do this :

and type pm2 restart 0, but my screen of MM is steel powered off…

[sdetweil]

@RIKKO14 now on your PC, open browser to
http://pi_ip:8080

same up address u used for ssh

now see magic mirror

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil and disable the PIR module in config.js, and manually turn screen back on

I’d this a Pi4. the off command works, the old on command doesn’t. I have seen others fight this but don’t remember any solution
