      (For debugging purposes)
      I have found the my (WiFi only) MM sometimes “falls off the net” - which means that the info it displays is outdated.
      It still display stuff, but there seems no EASY way for me to tell what happened as far as I can tell. I just notice that my calendar is outdated; that my Wunderlist is old; that my commute times don’t seem right…
      Then I try pinging/SSHing & fail. Reboot time.

      So I am requesting a (small) module that states “last time connected” so I have an indication if things are wrong. Or I’d like someone to tell me how to deal with this. Or (better still) the module would check for WiFi signal & then respawn a PM2 process.

      Thanks

            Have you done this?
            https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi#disable-wifi-power-save

            (Snip)

            Disable WiFi Power Save

            Edit /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

            sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf
            Add the following lines

            Disable power saving

            options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=1 rtw_ips_mode=1

            For Raspberry Pi 3
            Edit /etc/network/interfaces

            sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
            Add the following line under the wlan0 section

            wireless-power off
            Reboot your PI

            sudo reboot

            Create a working config

              @Mykle1 I did - I also run cron jobs to turn the monitor off & on (night & day). I just have “interesting” WiFi, so monitoring is not a bad idea. Guess I really should run a ping of the MM from somewhere else & send myself a txt if it goes down. I’ll putter around with IFTTT…
