@earnestrichards this is so cool! I have an enphase pv system too. I would love to add this module!

The Sams Club near me has SanDisk 128GB uSD cards on clearance for $11.91.

@boblewis I use weather.gov and look is different.

@earnestrichards yes I have used a bunch, Jetson nano, odroid xu4, and the most recent a chromebox.

also have a Mac mini, desktop, Chromebook…

and just today have a new arm Chromebook, w a Linux VM as mm server mode, viewing on any browser I choose…

I cannot sing the praises of @sdetweil’s (install and) update scripts loud enough. it’s just copy, paste, enter, and restart. Thanks Sam.

@earnestrichards
I do this and it make backup to a .img file.

@earnestrichards openweathermap says their forecast is updated every 3 hours, so at 9pm they would be forecasting for tomorrow…

current weather is different than forecast

@earnestrichards cool… glad it worked out… and another thing, I write a log of the actions, so you can look back at it, or if there is a problem…

@bugsounet I thought MMM-NewsFeed is your module? NO? :downcast_face_with_sweat:

@earnestrichards My first suggestion would be to update to version 2.15.0, because there are multiple changes done to the calendar module.

Has anyone investigated a CallerID module? I’ve got a a VoIP phone line as part of my cable package and it would be nice to have a CallerID listing on my mirror.

I’ve tried looking for an API, but maybe I don’t know the proper search terms.

@earnestrichards cool… so… try running server mode

npm start server

and then use chromium browser on the pi4

i have a config that does all this , i tried to have this as the default setup so one could chnage in config.js and voila… but it wasn’t accepted
(I do this on pi 0 as electron doesn’t run there anymore)

down load this file to MagicMirror folder
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh
make it executable

chmod +x run-start.sh

edit package. json
copy the start line
change the word “start” to “start1”
looks like this

"start1": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

this saves the old start command
change the right side of the new start to “./run-start,sh”
looks like this

"start":"./run-start.sh",

edit config.js
and uncomment this line

// serverOnly: true/false/"local" ,

set to local
so it looks like this

serverOnly: "local" ,

now npm start or pm2 start will launch the MM in server mode (no ui)
and then launch chromium-browser over it.
mac still talks to server

if u need to go back, edit config.js, change serverOnly to false,
then npm run start1

Has anyone developed a module to display the callerID log from Google Voice?

@earnestrichards if you just take the entry out of config.js for that module. the files are still there.

@Kasey00 yes, learned due to work, or in case of mm, node/electron because I needed/wanted to.

@earnestrichards great, thanks

@earnestrichards 8 ball pool said in Monitor Disassmebly:

I did a search on google and ifixit to see if I could get some guidance on getting the case off of my monitor and ran across this: Monitor Disassembly (http://h22235.www2.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/disassemblymonitors.html) for my HP monitor.

Other manufacturers may have a similar resource…

Thank you so much! It’s very helpful!

@karsten13 thanks… guess it makes sense… contributor can’t really be a repo!..

@sdetweil You’re a freaking genius. Thanks. It’s always something ‘silly’ like that… earlier I had a misplaced “{”

Looks like a good start.
