And then id like to set my weather in adams wisconsin how do i do that i got my key or whatever and put it in so it shows up on the mirror but it says new york and i tryed just typing in adams and madison wi and it wouldnt switch over

I think the default locationID: "5128581", is for New York. You would have to change that to locationID: "5243553", in your config entry. The readMe file for weather tells you to get it at http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt. I looked it up for you, based on Adams, WI.

Otherwise, you could put Adams,WI in location (no space) and locationID: "5243553",

Oh my god thank you so much!

Whil i got you hear can you help me through getting magic mirror to boot up automatically. Ive tryed and made the shell script i can run all the commands to get it to run then i try pm2 save and the sudo reboot.

The mirror loading screen shows up then goes blank and boots back up to raspbian desktop… its driving me nuts

@danwitz65

Perhaps you’re not saving the PM2 state correctly. I would only tell you exactly what is written here.

danwitz65

Yeah idk i follow it step by step but when it loads up it just shows four raspberrys then magic mirror2 “booting up” then the raspbian home highway picture desktop… idk what im doing wrong

@danwitz65

Are you waiting when that happens? There is a delay between the time you see the desktop and when PM2 launches the mirror. How long are you waiting?

danwitz65

Idk it never has launched after a reboot ive had to do it manually in terminal everything’s me so far

Also when you type

chmod +x mm.sh

From that guide is terminal supposed to do something?

Mykle1

@danwitz65

It will make the shell script is executable. I don’t recall if there is any output to confirm. It may simply go back to your directory

danwitz65

Yeah it doesnt confirm back with anything just opens a line for another command.

Also just tryed rebooting and waiting its been 7 mins now and magic mirror hasnt popped up

Mykle1

@danwitz65

Well, it shouldn’t take THAT long. If you run pm2 start mm in the terminal, does it launch the mirror?

danwitz65

Yes it does

Just did it as well to be sure

Mykle1

@danwitz65

All I can do is suggest you go through the entire process again. Create the script. Make sure it’s not inside your MagicMirror folder, etc . . and follow the instructions precisely. If there is something else going on there then perhaps a fresh install is in order, but that is completely up to you

danwitz65

Well thanks a ton for the help im not gonna reinstall the whole thing that would be crazy ill just have to deal with it i guess…

austin

Did you run this command?

pm2 startup

This will give you a command to run to setup pm2 to start at boot.

@danwitz65 stated

Yeah idk i follow it step by step

@Mykle

The first time I ran this command I thought it was done. I did not realize that it returns a command to run.

So since I made this mistake I figured I would ask if the command was run and to check for it to return a different command to run.

@austin

“pm2 startup”

“PM2 will now show you a command you need to execute.”
