Hi, I’m having issues with the above module. It just shows up a line with Internet Monitor on the screen (header), but nothing else?
Any thoughts?

{
module: ‘internet-monitor’,
position: ‘top_left’,
header: ‘Internet Monitor’,
config: {
type: ‘minimal’,
maxTime: 20000,
updateInterval: 50000,
verbose: false,
displayStrength: false,
displaySpeed: false,
strengthIconSize: 80,
maxGaugeScale:1000,
},
},

@Bungle68 which are you using? see

@sdetweil thanks again, I now at last have the small meters showing, but now it’s not registering any speed at all 🤔 @bhepler, any suggestions?
It’s all zero?

sdetweil

@Bungle68 np… one thing… when u post config, please use the code block markers…

paste the text,
select it all
hit the button above that looks like </>

@sdetweil here, let’s try again

code_text
{
module: ‘internet-monitor’,
position: ‘top_left’,
header: ‘Internet Monitor’,
config: {
type: ‘’,
serverId: “53937”,
maxTime: 20000,
updateInterval: 30000,
verbose: false,
displayStrength: false,
displaySpeed: true,
strengthIconSize: 80,
maxGaugeScale: 1000,
wifiSymbol: {
           size: 50,
           fullColour: ‘#3afc25’,
           almostColour: ‘#ffff0c’,
           halfColour: ‘#ff1111’
    },
           },
},

sdetweil

@Bungle68 just another quirk… when u copy the previously posted text without the code markers

the " and ’ chars become the word processing style slanted

and THAT will cause a problem if anyone (including you) try to use that info… forum software …

@sdetweil always learning 👍

I tried your configuration on my system and got this:

One thing I notice straight away is that your maximum speed is set to 1000 Mb/s. My fiber connection is rated at like 1/10th of that speed. I don’t know what kind of internet connection you have running to your house, but my guess is that you’re not seeing any data because your connection is just a sliver of the available graph.

Try this: set the maxGuageScale to 100 in your config.js entry.

Hi - I am looking to replace my last mirror build with an updated one.

this module is throwing an error on my install. I suspect I must have gone astray in the install?
I started out with a clean install of raspbian and magic mirror
Started it up with the default settings and it seems to work fine

This was the first module I added

Commands I issued were:

cd MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor.git
cd internet-monitor
NPM install showed some warnings:

added 191 packages, and audited 192 packages in 3m
9 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details
3 moderate severity vulnerabilities
To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
npm audit fix --force
Run npm audit for details.

When I NPM start now it throws an error:

	[22.01.2023 15:19.07.139] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error 				found: Error: Cannot find module '/home/richard/MagicMirror/modules/internet-monitor/node_modules/lzma-native/			binding-v4.0.6-electron-v22.0-linux-arm64/lzma_native.node'

@Richtw the error is about 20 lines closer to the top

@Richtw said in MMM-InternetMonitor:

binding-v4.0.6-electron-v22.0-linux-arm64/lzma_native.node

looks like not built for arm and electron 22…

so, you could try this
create a file in the module home folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/internet-monitor
touch buildit

then nano buildit, and paste this into the editor

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild ]; then
	cd ../..
	npm install electron-rebuild >/dev/null 2>&1
	cd -
fi 
../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit

chmod +x buildit

then ./buildit

bhepler

@Richtw - Yeah, that error usually means that there is an error in your config.js file.

Couple suggestions:

Try this out in the MagicMirror folder: npm run config:check. It will let you know if there are any errors in your config.js file.
Post the relevant section of your config.js file in this thread. Be sure to use the markdown features of the forum for readability.

[Dammit, I am about this close to just deleting my repository. It’s not my module and I’m sick of fixing it.]

@bhepler
thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Still stuck:
For the suggestion - @Richtw the error is about 20 lines closer to the top - Here’s the top

For the suggestion - npm run config:check. I ran it and it did not find anything
Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)

Here’s my config file

{
                        module: 'internet-monitor',
                        position: 'upper_third',

                                displaySpeed: true,
                                strengthIconSize: 80,
                                maxGuageScale: 1000,
                        }
                },

I tried that buildit script but it kicked back with:
./buildit: line 8: …/…/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild: Permission denied

Running with sudo gave same result

sdetweil

@Richtw can you show results of

ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -laF

Richtw

@sdetweil said in MMM-InternetMonitor:

ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -laF

thanks for the reply!

richard@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -laF
lrwxrwxrwx 1 richard richard 34 Jan 24 17:57 /home/richard/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -> ../electron-rebuild/lib/src/cli.js

sdetweil

@Richtw weird.

edit the buildit script we wrote and add

-b

at end of the last line, w a space before it. see if we can find where it is have permissions error

Richtw

@sdetweil Here’s the script I’m running

!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild ]; then
        cd ../..
        npm install electron-rebuild >/dev/null 2>&1
        cd -
fi
../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -b

Here’s the result

richard@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/internet-monitor $ sudo ./buildit
./buildit: line 8: ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild: Permission denied

sdetweil

@Richtw sorry. I do not understand the problem jetey, and cannot reproduce it on my own
