I’ve got two URL commands that aren’t working. I’d like some help to figure them out.

Update: Trying to use “http://[address]/api/update” - I get back “Cannot GET /api/update”

Restart: Again, using “http://[address]/api/restart” - I get back:

Error: Cannot find module ‘pm2’

Thanks

If the author ever comes back, I’ve made a couple of changes to the module that I’d love to see applied.

Floating point trouble, (both temperature and humidity values are coming up as “xx.xxx9999999999”)

I have a DHT22, but it did this with the DHT11 too, before I burned it up trying to move it from one board to another.

This gives you the tens and rounds off the rest.

// Convert C to F
			if (this.config.units === "imperial") {
				this.temperature = Math.round((data.temperature * 9/5 + 32)*10)/10;
			} else {
				this.temperature = data.temperature;
			}
			if (typeof this.temperature !== "undefined" && this.temperature !== null)  {
				this.sendNotification("INDOOR_TEMPERATURE", this.temperature);
			}
			this.humidity = Math.round(data.humidity*10)/10;
			if (typeof this.humidity !== "undefined" && this.humidity !== null)  {
				this.sendNotification("INDOOR_HUMIDITY", this.humidity);
			}
			this.updateDom(this.config.animationSpeed);
		}

FWIW, in the future,

Open a terminal
Type cd MagicMirror and press Enter
Now you’re in the MagicMirror directory
Type npm run config:check and press Enter
MagicMirror will now check your config

I also would like to be able to trigger alerts from outside the MM eco-system… For example - MMM-Buttons doesn’t work for me due to lack of pull resistors on my switches, and the lack of support for internal ones, as well as having lights that I’d like to light up for various button pushes and statuses.

I’d love to use a python script to set up the buttons functionality instead of MMM-Buttons, and trigger actions within MM.

oooh, that would be FUN…

I’m assuming you’re referring to the good Vancouver (BC) and not the bad one (Washington)…

Here in Washington it goes by MirroPane. Any glass shop has it or has it for order. Make sure you can see a sample, because I do believe you’d have to use it in “reverse of normal operation”

Good luck.

Would it be possible to change the core in such a way to create a customizable region work easier?

What I’d like to see is the index.html and css work together better so to allow the user via another config file/css file/whatever to define their own regions, overriding the regions defined within the base.

This would be able to allow us, for example, set up 5 vertical/3 horizontals, or whatever - making the most of the space of our monitors - and/or making portrait mode a ton easier to work with.

As it is now, I do believe the index.html has to be modified along with the CSS and a bunch of other tweaks… seems too complex for most.

I’m playing with a DHT 11 sensor I got out of a kit and https://github.com/ryck/MMM-DHT-Sensor. cheapest ever - free on the sensor + software.

@Sean oh, damn man. Hope the ankle heals quickly and cleanly. What did you do?

Glad to know what’s going on with the code, noting it’s the gov not knowing how to format the iCal (Not a surprise, actually). It would be wonderful if it could be understood and fixed, give your module some more flexibility to handle screwed up ical.

Again, get well soon!

If you’re keeping the monitor “whole” - you could use something like this:

http://www.mindsensors.com/rpi/132-raspberry-pi-b-case-with-vesa-mount

Alternatively, just velcro… whatever works.

hey, @Sean Did you happen to miss this?

I’m trying to add an ICS file, but it’s throwing an error, but other calendars accepts it.

The url is http://www.tax.gov/calendar/employer/calendar.ics

Log from PM2 LOGS shows this error:

[CALEXT2] calendar:irs >> invalid date-time value: “2016-12-30T::”

Is it the US Government not knowing what’s going on, or is it a bug in the code?

Thanks!

@sdetweil honestly, I forgot about your script work - twice over… Just recently installed a test install of MM too, and I was gonna use your work - That pi is annoying me a bit, so I may reinstall.

As I get update notices, I pop on here to make sure I’m gonna do things right, then follow the post instructions after a quick read to confirm.

@sdetweil because I read the post, saw “Note: This update uses new dependencies. Please update using the following command: git pull && npm install”, and TL;DR the rest.

😉

OK, it’s appearing more and more like the author of this module is MIA, and the module isn’t working well enough anymore to get a consistent stream (ffmpeg is the only thing that works at all in my installs, and even that will crash and burn every 3-6 hours, or get corrupted) - is there anything out there to replace this module?

Apparently, this project is dead. modules are missing all over the place, and unable to install…

rpi-dht-sensor not found.
npm install falls all over itself.

Just a mess.

Hmm. interesting. I didn’t think the test copy was using PM2 when that was working. It stopped working when I set up PM2 the rest of the way per instructions…

git pull && npm install per instructions.

I’m wondering how this was done initially, and how to get it to happen again…

When I installed a test copy of MagicMirror on my Test Raspberry, the software would auto-restart upon any changes to config.js. On my live copy, it does not do this… How was this done, and how can I get that back? I use PM2 to launch currently, although I don’t think it was being used on the test copy.

Thanks!

First time EVER I’ve seen this… Great job in squashing vulnerabilities

“found 0 vulnerabilities”

smooth as silk upgrade, too.
