It’s only taken a over a year lol. So a mate of mine made the frame, I’ve got to work out how I’m going to mount it and so I can open it to service it on the wall so I’ve not finished yet. But here it is be gentle and PS I’m still doing DIY in this room lol. Resizing pics is killing the pic quality ‍️

And a bit of YouTube,

So finally got all the kit in Pilkington 50/50 glass, google mini, eve smart plug to turn the PI on and off if all goes wrong, Logitech harmony, Apple TV,PS4 MagicEye stripped out for mics, 5port 1GB switch and a PI with big power supply,

Finished just waiting for the place to get skimmed it was a busy day

I use the Harmony with google to turn the TV on and off and to switch between hdmi ports.

@michael5r no freaking way! You’ve made another module I have to have lol

@idoodler no just git pull, I had to change the config file in calendar ie where to pull my calendar file from that was the only thing that changed, but the pull wouldn’t happen so I had to rename the folder in order for the pull to happen so that could have been the issue, but it created a new folder so not sure what went on.

@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

@anthony no it’s not that bad it depends what modules you have on it to how much it’s working in the background mine is between.90 and 1.5 cpu usage once everything has loaded, ram is a different story and goes down over time now until it crashes the Pi that’s why I’ve got a Cron Job to reboot the Magic Mirror software every 12hours for me, which has seen it go for days without issues.

Is it possible that some bright spark ️ can make a module similar to the Spotify now playing, so you could see what was playing on iTunes?

@rts58 I stand corrected the latest version of MMM-System-Stats locks up after 13hours of the Pi being on, I’ve left a message on his github so hopefully it will be fixed as it’s the Pi’s only true stat reading for everything that you need to know the Pi is doing. Oh if your not using video modules you can get 16Mb more ram by taking it from the graphics if your on a Pi 3B+ You can use the desktop

Start Menu, Preferences, Raspberry Pi configuration, Performance, then change GPU memory

or use Terminal

sudo Raspi-config 

Advance
Memory Split
Ok
Then it will ask you to reboot

@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"}}
            ]
        }
},

@michael5r ohhhhhh! ***** now your showing off, your making me get all your modules lol, that looks good that will compliment your nest muddle perfectly! Thank you Sir!!!
