Hello.
*** Disclaimer"“” I have used the search as I do know this has been asked about many times before, but return results do not fit my problem… but concede I may be using several wrong terms in my search…

Anyways, Monitor is on smart switch to turn on/off… Pi left on 24/7.
When I turn on monitor after 2 days, I see that MM has frozen, so have to manually switch Pi off/on, and everything boots up and works as should.

Can someone please point me to what I should be looking at to stop the freezing? Not as if it is running anything intensive - stock modules and 2 small Gifs.

Thanks

This is where I purchased my 50/50 Pilkington.

----- I know I entered again at the very end ---- 'pip install --upgrade pip’ — using quotes, this was a C&P error, but it still wont work even without those mistaken quotes.

Hello… is there any python experts that could point me towards getting 18.1 installed… it’s on Linux Mint 18.3 - my daughters pc that I put linux on a while back, and not played with for a while.

I followed a guide to install through terminal, and I will post the results for you to see if you can see what I have possibly done wrong, and what I need to enter in order to get the proper updated version.

great. I’ve few of TP-Link HS110 and HS100, but only in local net (home, work, parentshouse…). I use KASA app on my iPhone to control them, see the actual power - is it possible to “somehow” modify your module to see at least the status of plugs?

thanks, Zdeněk

I am using several TP-Links too, and found a lot of helpfull info about home automation based stuff from these guys… http://100.37.129.161:443/

You may want to pop over there and ask about their set up’s, and I’m positive you will get a great deal of ideas you probbably never thought about?

Personaly, I have 90% of my house automated ( using Alexa and Broadlink pro, and RM Mini ) , and, when time permits, use MM as a part Automation Display… showing/controlling every HA item, and it’s state.

@damian

I second that (e)motion. :-)

I actually sang that instead of reading it :-D

Many thanks for putting back on the ‘New notifications/recent topics’ bar… I missed that a lot.

Hello

Has there been an update to the forum, or any change in settings that I must re-select?

There used to be a notification bar along the top to let people know of the latest new postings, but this has gone now.

Thanks

@asimhsidd

Just thinking aloud here about this…

Portable HD… with some kind of powered switch/usb hub… smart socket/inline switch that can be voice activated by either the mirror itself through voice module, or by Alexa/Google Home to Turn on/off HD.

Leave HD in place behind mirror to save having a USB extention lead dangling to insert/unplug USB Stick.

Share that HD on the Pi, so you can add/change your MP3’s from another Source on your network?

@slametps

Nice… have quite a few TP Links, so will defo have this.

Thanks.
