My Custom Smart Mirror.
-
@SubLim3 in what way has Watchdog stabilised the mirror with a pi?
-
@dazza120 I never determined why but my mirror would “hide all modules” regularly. I would constantly wake up or notice that the screen was on but not displaying anything. A restart of MM would resolve but since running WatchDog this hasn’t been the case. It’s like services stopped working and WatchDog is supposed to restart any services that stop. I installed WatchDog at the same time I updated to the latest MM build so it could be coincidental.
-
@SubLim3 ok cool, may have to look at this but for now I’ve upgraded to the Pi4 4Gb, I think the main issue with the pi is memory and holding onto memory once a service loads.
-
@dazza120 I have had my image tightly packed onto an 8gb SD Image and then run it on a 16gb image for more space. Overtime Cache and whatever else was maxing out my 8gb. I haven’t had any issues since rebuilding the image with newer MM and Modules. Running WatchDog and having it all on a 16gb image seems to have really helped.
-
@SubLim3 yeah just added Watchdog as the mirror ran out of memory and crashed mm so hopefully that will restart it, have you just left it default ie nothing in watchdog config?
-
@dazza120 Correct, nothing in the config.js but the defaults.
