    • Failure of v2.2.0

      I have 4 MM in my home all running Pi 3. I started with one of my basic projects and tried an upgrade as suggested. Could not get it to work. Did a fresh install and it worked for 24 hours before it crashed.

      Now when I try a fresh install on a Stretch-Lite it crashes when trying to install the program.

    • RE: Black screen after install update v2.2

      I had to do a complete reinstall. Used a backed up sd card and the same error kept appearing in the logs. Backed up all my configs and mods. Did a fresh install and all works fine. Could have been one of the modules that gave it an error, I do not know but the calendar works great now.
      Thanks

    • RE: Daytime vs Night Time Mirror

      @strawberry-3.141 Thanks for the help. Got it working. Spent 5 hours yesterday figuring word names, spacing, periods in names, etc.
      Learned a lot.
      Now I just need to determine what a good dark bedroom color is for my nighttime mode. The red I tried last night was super bright.
      Again thanks to all that helped.

    • Daytime vs Night Time Mirror

      I have finally got my 7" touch screen sort of setup to what I am looking for.
      As you can see I have made adjustments to the clock module with some custom css. The first image is the daytime the second image is what I envision.
      Here is what I would like to do.
      Lets say at 7pm every night the current screen changes to a clock with no date, just the time in huge red colored numbers. And then at 7am every morning it reverts back to my main page.
      I know I can set up a schedule to do this, but here is where I do not know how to proceed. How to have two different clock modules. One for daytime with its own css and one for night time also with its own css.

      Thanks for the advice.

    • RE: 7" touchscreen as a Non-alarm clock?

      @Mykle1 At what point is the Ctrl+Shift= used. In the config.js file?
      Thank you so much. After reading the forum pretty well the link you sent was the first time I had ever seen these codes mentioned.

    • RE: 7" touchscreen as a Non-alarm clock?

      @strawberry-3.141 Thanks that worked great. Did not know that you could “html” edit the info in the quotes of a config.
      Greatly appreciated.

    • 7" touchscreen as a Non-alarm clock?

      Dear Mystical Reflectors,
      I have built the 7" touchscreen alarm clock. It’s great for my wife. Has all that she needs.
      Now I want to build one for me with a few constraints that if someone can put me in the right direction would be a big help.
      I am no longer constrained by the need for an alarm clock (retired). I also have extremely poor vision when not wearing my “Coke Bottle” style glasses, and I am color blind as well.
      What I would like to do foremost is to create a second screen that from 7pm to 7am for example shows a screen in massive numbers only, in a color of number I can see at night. Can someone put me on a track to do this?
      Also because of the poor eyesite I would like to edit the date and time that would show up on my daytime screen. Instead of showing
      Monday January 1, 2018
      8:00AM
      I would like it to show
      Monday
      January
      1
      2018
      8:00AM
      I can not for the life of me figure out where to create the line breaks (in the .js file or the css file)

      Thank you for the help and Happy holidays for which ever holiday and in what ever country you celebrate it.

    • RE: Calendar Event Time

      I specifically use my google calendar. I am on a Linux platform and do not use office365. My calendars are set to my Arizona time zone, and most they give the correct info until about 48 hours before the event. So if I have an event scheduled for this Wednesday at 9am it will say Phone Call to Joe Today at 9am. On the attached picture it shows the 22nd but look under where it says Phone call to joe it says today at 9 am.

      This is very confusing. I have ticked various buttons on my google calendar and the one that helps the most is by clicking the public button.

      Any thoughts.

    • RE: Calendar Event Time

      I have not been able to solve this.
      For example yesterday 20 Nov 2017 I had a calendar item for 21 Nov 2017 that read that the event was scheduled for today at xxx time. The date icon showed the 21 but still said my event was today in the verbiage under the event name.
