    • RE: Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...

      Searching for similar log in other thread I found someone saying :
      “It might be due to “onIdle” and “onDetected” features. Disable them”
      So I have added to my config.js in the MM assistant module

       onIdle: {
            timer: 0,  // if you don't want to use this feature, just set timer as `0` or command as ""
            command: "HIDEMODULES"
          },
      

      I’m testing and will report results.
      Thanks

      Once the screen goes OFF

      module.js:198 				MMM-Hotword is suspended.
      module.js:198				MMM-PIR-Sensor is suspended.
      module.js:198 				clock is suspended.
      module.js:198 				MMM-AssistantMk2 is suspended.
      module.js:198 				MMM-Traffic is suspended.

      module.js:198 				newsfeed is suspended.
      received TRAFFIC_COMMUTE 	MMM-Traffic.js:273 
      

      I Get now blank screen . Nothing happens in the log/dev console

      Now I moove and screen goes ON , but MM still blank I say “Jarvis” and the console logs shows.

      clock received a module notification: ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE from sender: MMM-Hotword

      module.js:205 mmm-systemtemperature is resumed.
      module.js:205 newsfeed is resumed.
      
      

      So it look like the suspended state create the blank screen. (am I right ? :/ )
      If yes Now the question is , how to prevent the modules to be suspended.
      Is that because of the PIR module ?

      thanks

    • RE: Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...

      @ejay-ibm said in Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...:

      // {
      // “module”: “updatenotification”,
      // “position”: “top_bar”
      // },

      Is that the module you are talking about ( as you can see it’s already commented ) ? If not how do you disable the updater module ?

      I’m running dev mode now waiting for the issue to reoccur.

      thanks

    • Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...

      Hi to all members!

      First I want to thank all contributor for the Magic Mirror project. I really enjoy this project to build my own mirror and learn new things.

      I have a pi 3b+ running on the latest OS :
      stretch V9.6

      I have installed MM and followed all documentations then implemented a few modules.
      the defaults one they are working fine ( some are commented such as alert and notifications (For debugging the blank screen issue I have and make sure the cause was not those modules)
      MMM-AssistantMk2 & MMM-Hotword ( perfectly works )
      MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify working fine but commented for as well because getting too much errors ( when nothing was played )
      mmm-systemtemperature : Works OK
      MMM-DarkSkyForecast :Works OK
      MMM-Hue : Works OK
      MMM-Traffic : Works OK
      MMM-PIR-Sensor (To turn off&on the HDMI Port) : Works OK

      You will tell me all “works OK” so what’s wrong with you guy :)

      Well after I start my MM all is “work ok” (Again)
      The Pir sensor delay works and well shutdown the HDMI port and it comes back when a movement is detected. My delay is set to 10 mins and if I come back after 15mins the screen is back ON, So far so good .

      Now my issue : When I come back after a while let’s say an hour or more, the PIR sensor turn ON the HDMI port and my screen goes on.

      Then surprise I get a blank screen.

      I know I’m not in screen saver mode because after a VNC connection I see the little popup on screen and I can see the mouse moving as well.

      My conclusion is that the MM is in a kind of “sleep” mode waiting to be wake up.

      I can bring the MM modules back on screen for example by giving input via the Hotword/assistant module so when I say “Jarvis” the hotword is detected and MM & all modules directly come back on screen.

      No error in the MM error log from PM2 nor in the out file.
      Dev mode ( Shift CTRL I ) show me that the modules are still well receiving notification from other modules )

      Before posting this thread here as I said I read the full installation documentation and more. I did many research for a similar problem and didn’t find . I looked at many places and applied several solutions. Unfortunately without success ).

      It look like it’s a matter in the MM code itself ( But I maybe wrong I do not want to bother anyone by saying this ) Just a personnal thought.

      Here is my setup :
      /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

      [SeatDefaults] ( I had to create this entry in the file ) 
      xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms
      

      As well added to

      [Seat:*] ( which was existing prior editing the file )
      xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms
      

      Just in case ( but I have added this after and that didn’t help )

      The file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

      @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
      @xscreensaver -no-splash
      point-rpi
      @xset s noblank
      @xset s off
      @xset -dpms
      

      And /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

      @lxpanel --profile LXDE
      @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE
      @xscreensaver -no-splash
      @xset s noblank
      @xset s off
      @xset -dpms
      

      I didn’t make it in /.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart because when creating this file my system boot in openbox and not in desktop session.
      And I want to keep the desktop for other reason.

      I installed xscreen and turn of powersaving on screen and screen saver.

      Finally I’m up to date on MM and all Modules.

      I didn’t use the OpenGL driver in /boot/config.txt as in was generating error in the logs, and my pi is Fan cooled So I don’t worry for now about system temp ( always around 50°C) and CPU usage ( around 40% when MM + VNC are running )

      So if anyone have clue / good question to ask my to help me dig out this issue and resolve it you are most that welcome !!! I hope that this post was not too long but I wanted to give as much details as I can.

      If you need any other info feel free to ask me.

      Thank you again for all your work and help .
