@thiske - Nice work. That’s a very clean build you have there. Can you give us some dimension? It’s hard to get a sense of scale.

@Richtw - Yeah, that error usually means that there is an error in your config.js file.

Couple suggestions:

1. Try this out in the MagicMirror folder: npm run config:check. It will let you know if there are any errors in your config.js file.
2. Post the relevant section of your config.js file in this thread. Be sure to use the markdown features of the forum for readability.

[Dammit, I am about this close to just deleting my repository. It’s not my module and I’m sick of fixing it.]

@dwburger - Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

You may also want to take a look at MMM-RAIN-MAP.

@omarr - That’s amazingly thin. Is that sunk into the wall? It looks great.

@FlatPepsi - To be fair, DarkSky has been pushing that date back every so often. I think originally it was going to terminate on 1 December 2022.

@bdream Another option is to use a tool that will let you remotely log into her mirror from your house. Then when she says that it is displaying the available update, you can remotely perform the steps.There are a few services out there that allow you one or two remote access for free and then you pay for any others beyond that.

But @sdetweil is correct: the mirror itself is very stable so just disable the update notification. If something breaks, she’ll let you know.

@KI6UVE - I also have this error on a Innovatek Quadra (can’t find an RPi for sale for love or money).

Bah. I thought I had something helpful to add. Never mind. It’s not working for me either.

@Bungle68 said in MMM-InternetMonitor:

@sdetweil thanks again, I now at last have the small meters showing, but now it’s not registering any speed at all 🤔 @bhepler, any suggestions?
It’s all zero?

I tried your configuration on my system and got this:

One thing I notice straight away is that your maximum speed is set to 1000 Mb/s. My fiber connection is rated at like 1/10th of that speed. I don’t know what kind of internet connection you have running to your house, but my guess is that you’re not seeing any data because your connection is just a sliver of the available graph.

Try this: set the maxGuageScale to 100 in your config.js entry.

@Weste - I’ve had good experience with www.twowaymirrors.com to source the glass. LCDs were monitors I bought off of Amazon that had the correct dimensions and HDMI ports that faced down.

I also do not add touch capability to my mirrors. You’ll put smears on your mirror.

I build my own frames. It’s not very difficult. If you don’t have tools or much woodworking experience, you can go to a local frame shop for the facing frame (the pretty part that will border your glass).

@nickthebeer said in New Bulid:

@Bungle68 when I built my mirror I decided that I was never going to turn the monitor off so I removed all unnecessary peripherals from the pi and powered it via the monitors USB port so I have one cable from the power source which is to the monitor.

I’ve tried this before and the problem I consistently have is that the USB ports on the monitor do not supply enough power to run a Raspberry Pi 3B+. That model is quite thirsty and requires 2.4 amps to run properly. It’s usually best to get a dedicated power supply (wall wart) for the Pi.

Lately, I’ve been putting a travel power strip behind the monitor to power the monitor and Pi separately.
