@sifuhall - What I do for the mirrors I give as gifts is I set up a reverse SSH connection to a URL that I control. Whenever I need to connect to the mirrors, I start up a cloud VM and have that VM change the DNS entry for that URL to point to itself. Alternately, you could set up a dynamic DNS entry to your home and have the mirror connect directly to your house.

With the cloud VMs, this allows me to spin up a machine, wait 5 minutes for the mirrors to connect to it, then SSH to the machine and then down to each mirror. At that point, I can change the config.js or run updates as necessary.

@mjlee - I copied your code and I’m not getting the same results.
From the browser console:

socketNotificationReceived: GOT_DATA    MMM-MYTEST.js:20 
MMM-MYTEST: Getting data                MMM-MYTEST.js:34 
socketNotificationReceived: GOT_DATA    MMM-MYTEST.js:20 
MMM-MYTEST: Getting data                MMM-MYTEST.js:34 

And from the terminal console:

Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080

Perhaps the issue is that you’re looking at the wrong console log? The MYTEST.js log will write to the browser’s console rather than the terminal.

@keven1508 - Film based one-way mirrors are a compromise. They’re marginal at best if you’re on a tight budget. The amount of light reflected just isn’t as good as a professionally built one-way glass.

If you do insist on going with film, I would recommend taking the film and the glass to an automobile tint shop and asking if they’ll apply the film for you for a nominal fee. They have the experience and are probably the best people local to you to do it.

@BuckGup Try CTRL+ALT+T. That should open a terminal window.
