Has this died recently for anyone else? I have made no config changes and it’s stopped working. I’ve tried with a new server ID in case they have changed, but still no luck.

I can confirm. It appears that the speedtest service is down. I’m troubleshooting now.

Update: Problem is with the speedtest-net package. Not sure what the problem is, but it has been down for the past week. They’ve opened an issue with the developers, so hopefully they’ll get around to it. The SpeedTest website and their paid services appear to be working, so something is up with the API.

I’m looking at my fork of the original repository and the latest changes to speedtest-net and I’m going to prep an update. Once it comes back, I’ll publish.

@Egnos - Those look like they’ll do the job.

I have seen the connection between RPI and LED strip but I do not understand why the external 5V power supply must also be connected to the RPI, is it not enough to connect it to the LED strip?

The reason is that the output of the RPi can drive a handful of LEDs, but the Pi only has so much power flowing through it (specs say 50mA). Powering the LEDs separately will let the Pi handle the logic and the power supply handle the… well, power.

@Reif - I don’t know much about Plinkington, but I’ve used TwoWayMirrors.com on several occasions and I have never been disappointed.

@kai - Glad to hear it!

Next up on the to-do list is to enable notifications so other modules can react to the messages.

@donaldbathe - The short answer is: You cannot. The power socket for your electric shaver is not a mirror issue. I suggest you look for a local home electrician who can install a properly grounded outlet below your bathroom mirror. Rates vary, so be sure to shop around.

@sdetweil - At a guess, something went wrong during his installation that is preventing electron from loading. But the failed calls to Google for the calendar worry me. I suspect that he has two issues: failed installation and a Google calendar configuration error that is preventing Google from serving up his calendar.

You gave good advice, getting the electron issue sorted. But I think @N6NG is still going to have calendar problems.

MMM-Selfieshot has been updated. One new feature added:

• The rotation parameter will allow you to rotate both the countdown and the image preview for landscape mirrors.

First: Rotation feature has been merged into the latest version.

@MMRIZE - Heh. So if someone uses the least powerful RPi with the most powerful camera, it may not work. Okay, not unexpected but yeah I could see how that would be a common combination.

Do you have a link where I can research the situation? I hate to pester you with dumb questions. I would rather do my research and then discuss strategies with you rather than me posting a lot of stuff here just to clarify our vocabulary.

@MMRIZE - Hrm. It doesn’t support old RPi? How old are we talking about? I can kind of understand if it doesn’t support the original, but the big question is does it support the RPi 3A/B+. IIRC, that’s the most popular hardware for the mirrors.

@MMRIZE - Dude, I’m the one who should apologize to him.
