Just type a header in the config:
{
module: "MMM-EasyPix",
header: "WLAN-Code",
position: "bottom_left",
config: {
picName: "guest_wifi_config.png", // Enter the picture file name.
maxWidth: "150px", // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
}
},
@blebbens said in {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App):
Thanks for this tutorial…
I am using a PIR. The monitor switches on immediately after detection of motion. I am looking for an option to switch on the monitor if a person stands in front of it for 10 seconds. Mine is a floor mirror, so some people are crossing the floor many times a day without looking at the mirror.
If u use the external PIR script (point 2.2) u could try to change line 25 in the script and define a TURNON-DELAY.
if turned_off and time.time() >= TURNON_DELAY:
The whole script would look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import time
import RPi.GPIO as io
import subprocess
io.setmode(io.BCM)
SHUTOFF_DELAY = 120 # in seconds, how long the monitor will be on until next button press or PIR detection
TURNON_DELAY = 10
PIR_PIN = 22 # 15 on the board (this needn't to be a PIR. Can be a button also)
LED_PIN = 16 # optional, don't use as Relay-PIN. It just shows detection time of the PIR without delay time
def main():
io.setup(PIR_PIN, io.IN)
io.setup(LED_PIN, io.OUT)
turned_off = False
last_motion_time = time.time()
while True:
if io.input(PIR_PIN):
last_motion_time = time.time()
io.output(LED_PIN, io.LOW)
print ".",
sys.stdout.flush()
if turned_off and time.time() >= TURNON_DELAY:
turned_off = False
turn_on()
else:
if not turned_off and time.time() > (last_motion_time +
SHUTOFF_DELAY):
turned_off = True
turn_off()
if not turned_off and time.time() > (last_motion_time + 1):
io.output(LED_PIN, io.HIGH)
time.sleep(.1)
def turn_on():
subprocess.call("sh /home/pi/monitor_on.sh", shell=True)
def turn_off():
subprocess.call("sh /home/pi/monitor_off.sh", shell=True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
main()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
io.cleanup()
Don’t know if it will work. Just brainstorming cause i haven’t much time
change the port of domoticz or MM. I think they are using both 8080
I totally agree with the “coffee is life” :D
Looks good. Keep us up on date please ;)
Hey dude,
sorry for not answering, but i am only rarely here :(
First i would try to edit the config file:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
try to uncomment “hdmi_force_hotplug=1” and try to uncomment “config_hdmi_boost=4”
maybe play around with some other settings.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md
Rebooting the pi once a day is not the best solution :/
But however, if necessary:
http://www.simsalabim-solutions.net/vademecum/raspberry_pi/setting_up_reboot_cron_job_on_pi
why not just using a python script?
found this one here:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# coding: utf-8
import os
import time
import signal
import sys
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
pin = 36 # The pin ID, edit here to change it
maxTMP = 50 # The maximum temperature in Celsius after which we trigger the fan
GPIO.setmode (GPIO.BOARD)
def setup():
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(pin,GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
return()
def getCPUtemperature():
res = os.popen('vcgencmd measure_temp').readline()
temp =(res.replace("temp=","").replace("'C\n",""))
print("temp is {0}".format(temp)) #Uncomment here for testing
return temp
def fanON():
setPin(True)
return()
def fanOFF():
setPin(False)
return()
def getTEMP():
CPU_temp = float(getCPUtemperature())
if CPU_temp>maxTMP:
fanON()
else:
fanOFF()
return()
def setPin(mode): # A little redundant function but useful if you want to add logging
GPIO.output(pin, mode)
return()
try:
setup()
while True:
getTEMP()
time. sleep(8) # Read the temperature every 5 sec, increase or decrease this limit if you want
except KeyboardInterrupt: # trap a CTRL+C keyboard interrupt
GPIO.cleanup()
For sure this is no problem. Take as much time as u need for your family. thats much more important!
didn’t find a private message option, just a chat^^ sorry for that. I post my config right here.

Thank u very much for helping :)
If u followed the guide i posted, your PIGPIOD installation path should be “/usr/local/bin/pigpiod”
For autostart when booting u must edit the rc.local. Mine is like this:
pi@MagicMirror:~ $ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi
iwconfig wlan0 power off &
sleep 5 &
/usr/local/bin/pigpiod
sleep 10 &
/usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py &
exit 0
So enter this via ssh:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
and just put this into the file:
/usr/local/bin/pigpiod
@deerbelac said in Trying to use MMM-MyCommute, config.js doesn’t look right:
You’re my new best internet friend.
LOL
you are welcome mate ;)
@sheddingmyskin said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic:
lat: '30.00000', lng: '-90.000000',
This is wrong. Must look like this:
lat: 30.00000,
lng: -90.000000,
Without the ’
There is no mistake as far as i can see.
The “&” just need to be written, when a second or third command follows.
So when u are just using this one command both (with or without the “&”) should work
I am full of admiration for your work. This is a great addition to anyone who already uses or wants to use voice commands.
AWESOME :D
i agree with @barnosch
the power supply is not causing the heat problem! Well, if u can call it a problem… 66-70° while running magic mirror is ok. As barnosch said u probably can reduce it by removing unused stuff. :)
@howi42
maybe same recommendation here. Remove unused stuff. Thats the reason, why i am a fan of using the Lite versions of raspbian ^^
Alexa-pi is maybe waiting all the time for your voice and that also needs CPU Power. And MagicMirror can raise the temp, too when using much modules. Especially when using modules with animation…
Just to say:
I am running my Magic Mirror in a completely closed frame (without any holes). Just put the small heatsinks u can buy everywhere on eBay on it and i have temperatures about 58-63°. When the monitor is on for about 10 minutes it will raise to max. 66-67°.
For using a fan regulated by the Pi’s temperature u can check this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6495/temperature-regulated-fan-on-rpi/3
@mykle1
Didn’t see your post, cause i was writing.
But i never understood your temperature and your System Load :D
even with using raspbian Lite and just installing MM i never got this results. Even when the Pi lays on my table with heatsinks.^^
was always above 50°
Maybe u are sitting in an igloo XD
@chandra said in {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App):
Screen goes off after 120sec, But when it sense the motion, the screen is black.
Hint from the main post:
To check if it works just go into terminal via ssh and type:
sudo tvservice -o to turn off
sudo tvservice -p to turn on
edit: for some monitors the following commands work better. Please use them if your monitor needs it:
vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off
vcgencmd display_power 1 to turn on
edit:
also check this:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app/11
That is really lovely :)
Another suggestion could be to say “Go to standby” and it will turn off the Monitor or something like that. Just for the need to say 1 command instead of 2 or 3 commands.
And “Wake up” will show the last used configuration.
But anyway a wonderful addition :D
So you use the camera module i posted?
unfortunately i don’t use this module, so i am maybe the wrong person to ask…
But i took a look at the webcam.js of the module and in line 46/47 the width and hight is defined.
Maybe u should play around with that…
https://github.com/alexyak/camera/blob/master/webcam.js
nano MagicMirror/modules/camera/webcam.js
also check the camera.js at line 62/63…
nano MagicMirror/modules/camera/camera.js
I don’t know if it would be necessary to set the resolution of the cam within raspbian… ?
To start the cam with a button u can even use the MMM-Buttons module. This should work, if i understand the camera-module correct ^^
{
module: 'MMM-Buttons',
config: {
maxShortPressTime: 1000,
buttons: [
{
pin: 15,
name: "camera",
shortPress: {
notification: "SHOW_CAMERA",
}
},
longPress: {
notification: "HIDE_CAMERA",
},
},
]
}
},
@Mykle1 said in Hello-Lucy:
Is this what you meant?
Jap :)
This is going to be the alexa for every mirror :D
@RoboDoc said in TypeError: Cannot read property ‘hash’ of null:
at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/updatenotification/node_helper.js:68:31
line 68 in the node_helper of the update notification seems to check all modules on GitHub for updates, if i understand that correctly…
So there are two options:
Your mirror lost it’s wifi/internet connection. Maybe u could check on your router if the device had logged off from the wifi.
Or check the strength of the connection. Maybe take a look at the wifi_rebooter, as the wifi on the RPi 3 is not the best. So i installed an automatically wifi_rebooter here. U could try that as well: http://alexba.in/blog/2015/01/14/automatically-reconnecting-wifi-on-a-raspberrypi/
in my case my Pi pings my router address every 3 minutes and when it cannot reach it, it reboots it’s wifi itself.
Some of the 3rd party modules has errors. But i don’t think so. To check it u could just run the default modules for a while
Because u used the automatic installer and pressed “yes” when it asked you for starting MagicMirror automatically ;)
try
pm2 stop mm
pm2 delete mm
pm2 save
i would use pm2 for that.
sudo nano /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
