We have two MM’s, one in the kitchen and one downstairs. The downstairs MM doesn’t have to be involved, only if it makes things easier.

What I would like to do is display the basement temperature on the kitchen MM. Is this possible somehow?

I have no idea how I did this. From MM, I press ctrl-q, the screen goes black, and then pm2 dutifully restarts MM. Using Alt File/Quit also just gives a black screen.

Any insights as to how to restore my system screen greatly appreciated.

@qu1que You may be right. I’m getting this for MMM-Wallpaper.

This one for MMM-Multimonth

@sdetweil Oops. Raspberry Pi 3b+. Just recently did the update using:

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)” apply

The update completes without an error.

I get a message that MMM-Multimonth and MMM-Wallpaper need updating.

I open a console window, go into each module folder and enter:

git pull
npm install

No errors. I restart MM and no message. After a few hours the messages are back as if I never updated them.

I must be doing something wrong.

@MMRIZE MMM-CalendarExtMiniMonth is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

@sdetweil Oops! Thanks sdetweil

@Mykle1 Thanks for your help on the DISPLAY issue. I changed the line in packages.json file to:

“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

I get the following error message back:

> magicmirror@2.20.0 start
> node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

'node_modules' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

@Mykle1 First off, thanks so much for a great guide. I’m having what is likely a simple issue, but I can’t figure out how to resolve it. I am getting the following error message with the npm start command. Not concerned about the warnings, but how do resolve the DISPLAY issue?

$ npm start
npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead.

> magicmirror@2.20.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

@MMRIZE Also good to know. Thanks!

@sdetweil said in Possible to show Month View in lower corner?:

CalendarExt3

Thanks. I’ll take a look.

Currently, I am only using core features, but I’m fine with using a third party if I need to. What I would like is to display a small month view in the lower corner of the screen. Is this possible somehow?

@sdetweil Right there in front of me. Thanks!

I can’t find it in the documentation anywhere. How do I increase the size of upcoming events text? I assume it’s some kind of custom css?

Thanks in advance.

@sdetweil Thank you again! I’ll give it a try.

The code executes fine on startup. It also updates fine on another Pi3b also running on Wifi. Daily temperature updates just fine. So the question is two-fold. Is there something I can change so the events are updated as they change?

Or alternatively, is it okay to plug the pi into a smart plug that cycles daily?

@sdetweil Thanks! I think I can manage that.

I’m having issues with a calendar module not updating. Is there a way to schedule a restart of MagicMirror? Something that would exit MM at 3am, and then pm2 would restart it.

Thanks!

@sdetweil I did not know that was possible. Another thanks!

@sdetweil Thanks for the quick reply. I use your upgrade script and it is nothing short of amazing. I’ll take your advice and do updates with the script.

The problem I constantly battle is pm2 is just a little aggressive on restarting MM, and it takes me many tries to finally do a ‘pm2 stop all’ so I can have a command line. I wish I knew how to increase the time for pm2 restarts.
