@swvalenti cron job on the raspberry pi

0 2 * * * pm2 restart mm

That will make the mirror restart from scratch as if you just stated the mirror

@lamachine I’ve had nothing but problems with the fake and full GL drivers I’ve had to disable both and revert to the normal drivers using the fake one saw my screen go black screen almost immediately, using the full GL driver saw MMM-voice malfunction, reverted back to the standard saw a slight increase in use of cpu and memory and an increase of temp, all of which are not really alarming as it’s all within spec, the restart mm cron job that I’ve got going every 12 hours keeps it so I can always see mm when I turn on the screen. My screen will also be in a bathroom but I’ll be using a Harmony hub to turn it on and off with google, as I’ve left the TVs 4 hour built in protection for burn in on, see if the monitor going off eases the pressure on the Pi and try switching back to the standard drivers and see

@sdetweil agreed I was covering a 40inch but that went pear shaped and that tv died so now I’m slumping it with a 32inch glass gives it a really good look though. This project turned from an inexpensive project to something costing me a couple of hundred and I’m still not done yet, just waiting for my mate to measure up and build a frame for me, can’t wait to unveil it

@mdhenriksen all depends what you are after if the op has a weak back light display and is a bright room and also wants to play movies and so on then 50/50 for anything other than the above 70/30 would be fine and ok for watching videos

Guys is your Raspberry Pi getting enough juice? Must admit mine has never had that issue during build or testing which it’s still in lol, mine is a horizontal display when the frame gets done. I had to upgrade my power supply to a 10amp one mainly because I wanted to run an ssd and small over clock,I also have a cron job set to restart the MM every 12 hours which sorted out the black screen I was getting.

@rts58 so whole code should be

module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
	    // Show all modules at 9:15 every day and hide at 11:45
	   global_schedule: {from: '15 9 * * *', to: '45 23 * * *'},
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 09:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification:
 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 9 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 11:30pm EVERY DAY
                {notification: 
'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 23 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},
                // RESTART THE MAGICMIRROR PROCESS AT 2am EVERY SUNDAY
                {notification: 
'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 2 * * SUN', payload: {action: "RESTART"}}
            ]
        }
},

@rts58 ok Looking at the read me it’s these at the end from my basic understanding

]
        }
    },

@bibi I just have the VNC from raspberry pi enabled, And VNC viewer with cloud so I can view or change stuff when I’m out and about

@bibi yeah VNC is what you need, then a pm2 reastart mm in terminal from the VNC viewer
