@PaulB A completely black screen usually means there is an error in the config.js file. Please post yours, (specifically the openweathermaps module entry) using the markdown features and we’ll take a look at it.

Did you ever change the password?
Were you able to successfully log in via SSH prior to your troubles?

If the password has been changed without your knowledge, that is a very bad sign. I suggest pulling the card, reformatting it, re-flashing it with Raspbian and starting from scratch.

@geeflaxx The display=:0 parameter is to send the output of the electron process to the monitor attached to your Raspberry Pi.

Rotating the display is done by editing the /boot/config.txt file and adding the line display_rotate=1

@Mitchfarino Oh yeah. The cheap-ish french cleat I bought from Home Depot claims to be rated for 100 lbs. If you mount it on a wall stud, you’ll have no problems whatsoever.

@Mitchfarino Heh. Well, that pic was just for holding the monitor in place. I used a french cleat to mount the mirror on the wall. One piece screws into the wall, the other screws into the edge of the box. You can make one fairly simply or just buy one from a hardware store.

@Mitchfarino I did something similar with my mirror. I ended up routing a channel in two pieces that spanned in the interior of the box. The monitor edges fit in the channel and a couple of corner brackets secured each piece to the interior of the box. If you weren’t too concerned with visible screws on the outside of your box, you could skip the corner brackets for driving screws into the monitor supports from the outside.

@DirkS Interesting. Following the instructions I found via the GitHub MagicMirror repository, the pm2 should be using /home/pi/mm.sh to start the magic mirror process. Editing this file and appending DEV should give you the web browser console with log.

@DirkS Aha. You probably haven’t set it up yet. No worries. You normally start your mirror by going into ~/MagicMirror and entering npm start, right? Just append the dev switch and you should see both the mirror UI and the browser console on your mirror: npm start dev

If you’re starting your mirror via SSH, prepend the command to send the output to the mirror’s display: DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev
