      Hi All,
      I have a magic mirror that I built 3 years ago, running on a Rapsberry 4. It uses a small motionsensor on the left of the mirror to activate. After booting the rasp it usually works for 2-3 days after which it stops responding to SSH, motion detection and RDP. I can still ping it.

      Would anyone know how to go about troubleshooting this? Could it be memory build up?

      Best regards
      Lars Kragh-Hvidberg

        @MilkShake could be

        I would start by looking in the /var/logs folder where the system logs are written

        there are multiple

        so you would need to look at the latest dates,
        usually when u boot the previous is saved and a new is started

          Thansk man. I will dig around and see what I can find. It is annoying to say the least.

              @MilkShake I’m having the same problem. But for me it’s more like a day until it stops working. I’ve also read something about memory buildup. Maybe we can compare our modules and find a similarity?
              I’ve been restarting the MM software via cronjob every few hours for now and that works for me at least.

                Yeah, mine is not constant with that. Some times it can work 3 days and sometimes it is hours. I am looking into logs now.
