@I_Am_Anthony Off the top of my head, use the scheduling module and the background image module in conjunction. There’s no reason you can’t put the background module in twice and swap 'em out at a particular time.

@SvenSommer I use a Fitlet microPC. Quad core, AMD processor, AMD graphics, 8GB RAM.

I know you have a solution and all, but PM2 should already be running on your Pi as part of the installation process.

Did you save your PM2 state before reboot? If you’re willing to experiment, remove the PM2 commands from your crontab and reboot your mirror. Once it’s back up, start the mirror with pm2 start mm, wait for the interface to appear and then enter pm2 save.

Once PM2 has saved the state, reboot your mirror and MM2 should start after a few seconds.

@chaseb1357 The expensive parts are going to be the monitor and the mirror itself. If you’re willing to put in the time, there are a couple ways to save money.

• Acrylic mirrors are cheaper than glass mirrors and only are only slightly lesser quality. www.tapplastics.com is a decent source for one-way acrylic.
• One-way film is even cheaper than one-way acrylic. If you’re willing to go slow and try multiple times, you can put one-way film on a sheet of plain glass.
• The monitor is the other large expense. If you’re willing to stay with a landscape orientation, you can repurpose a used LCD television instead of a computer monitor. A cheap 32" TV is cheaper than a 32" monitor.
• Honestly, I’d skip the touchscreen aspect. I know you don’t want to hear it, but a touchscreen mirror is just asking for fingerprints & smudges.

@oldversions That’s nice. With some right-angle plugs, you’d be good to go with that.

@jade said in Config.js file Syntax:

now I have a working mirror that sporadically gives me game of thrones quotes! My office at work is now much brighter!

Well, you do until he kills off another Stark child.

Please use the Markdown features to post code and console output. It makes it so much easier to read.

@rodofrn Other than a temporary outage of the web service? Hrm. Have you tried reinstalling those particular modules? I wonder if the new version of MM is somehow interfering with the authentication of the email and commute app.

You should be able to replicate the commute web call with a carefully crafted CURL command. Pass it your API key and such and see if you get an error. Make sure to do so from the Pi.

One of my mirrors had a similar issue after the update, but it sorted itself after I resolved some connectivity problems.

@rodofrn Do you have anything in your logs that indicates a problem?

You shouldn’t be modifying the compliments.js file. Any new compliments should be placed in the appropriate section of the config.js file. Or if you like, you can create a compliments.json file and load them. Check the module READ.ME file for exact syntax.
