What I’m trying to do is turn on the MM and use it like it is the screensaver.

My MM is on a Windows 10 desktop and a laptop. Ivecbeen trying to figure out how to run the mirror after 5 minutes inactivity. Like a screensaver would .

Any ideas!!???

Run node serveronly via autostart so it runs in the background
Use https://github.com/cwc/web-page-screensaver/releases and point to http://localhost:8080

Untested, but in theory it should work

just tried the web-page-screensaver and I have to admit it fails displaying the MagicMirror site.
I’m looking for another solution
