@BKeyport The pi I mentioned is a pi 3 with a single HDMI that I now have in the mirror. I am hoping to eliminate that and use a desktop computer that runs 24/7 to run MM on the mirror monitor as the second one.

@sdetweil

It’s not a matter of clearing the screen so I can use the mirror, rather it i about not wasting energy on a monitor when most of the time we are not there.

I am going to try a two step process, stop MM, then turn off the monitor and on the reverse start the monitor and then start MM

Thanks again

@sdetweil Thank you, I was hoping to have just one computer with the home automation software and MM but i guess I will have to keep a pi exclusively for MM.

Re: Magic mirror with 2 displays

System HP desktop with DP and HDMI outputs
OP: Ubuntu 22

I want to run MagicMirror in a system with 2 monitors, showing MagicMirror on monitor 2
I also want to turn off the second monitor when we are not near.
I can turn the second monitor off and on using xrandr
I can start MagicMirror on monitor two using the electronPosition option in the config file

The problem is that when I turn off the second monitor MagicMirror “moves” to the main monitor which I don’t want.

I read about using the display variable to direct the output to the second monitor but I have no idea how to setup the display:0 and display:1 variables to point to the two monitors and I don’t even know if this will keep MM from moving to monitor 1 when I turn off monitor 2

Has anyone done this and have a solution or any hints?

Thank you

Carlos

@sdetweil Thank you for the guide. The properties of the elements I want to change seem to come from a material design style sheet .scss from the website hosting the webpage that is displayed in MagicMirror . Way above my level.
I’ll have to live with the current font size

Thanks again

Hi

Does anyone know how to change the font size in MMM-Openhab?

I have tried modifying every CSS and HTML style file and nothing seems to make a difference.

Thank you
