Excellent work and nice idea!

I use via crontab the CEC-function of the Monitor:

turn on monitor weekdays 8 o clock:

0 8 * * 1-5 echo “on 0” | cec-client -s -d 1 >/dev/null 2>&1

turn on monitor on saturday & sunday 9.30 o clock:

30 9 * * 0,6 echo “on 0” | cec-client -s -d 1 >/dev/null 2>&1

turn off monitor daily at 20.30 o clock

30 20 * * * echo ‘standby 0’ | cec-client -s -d 1 >/dev/null 2>&1

this works like a charme since over one year

Thanks for the link, but it still does not work

# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.

# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line

# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.

# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through

Sounds strange. Maybe you first have to stop the pm2 process before restart, with pm2 stop mm.sh. Don’t forget to complete the line für den reboot am Samstag - sudo reboot >/dev/null 2>&1

Good evening

I’d like to see my MagicMirror restart at a certain time each day. What should I enter in the crontrab? I have already tried x variants, but unfortunately it never worked.

27 17 * * * Command pm2 restart mm

The sudo reboot command works fine.

27 17 * * 5 sudo poweroff

Did you forget to write the full command? Try pm2 restart mm.sh
By the way: I prefere the online crontab generator (https://crontab-generator.org/). It’s very easy.
Regards Mike

@lovesicker OK. Did you try to start the module twice? Maybe this is the possibility to activate both gateways at the same time as you need it.
Regards Mike

@lovesicker Hi,
why do you use two gateways? It’s not necessary. I use one gateway for my complete house. I use 10 temperature and humity sensors. Have a closer look to my config.
Regards Mike.

@lovesicker Hi,
I think you are on the wrong way: You use gatewayIP and gatewayToken twice. Thats not necessary.
Look to my configuration - this works fine:
{
module: ‘MMM-xiaomi’,
position: ‘bottom_left’,
colored: true,
header: ‘Temperatur / Luftfeuchtigkeit’, // This is optional
config: {
gatewayIP: ‘192.168.160.xx’,
outsideSensorId: ‘15xxx0201dxxx’,
gatewayToken: ‘cd857eee1fc760d029767709cd50xxxx’,

Great job! I ve got it to work - it runs fine on my Pi0!
Thank you for your great efforts.
Michael

I still have problems. Afer several installations, I always get after start a white screen:
“This side can’t be readed - localhost refused to connect
checking the proxy and the firewall”

Also, this error message appears after new installation:

Trying this command: chmod a+x ~/MagicMirrorPi0StretchLite/RaspberryPi0.sh && sh ~/MagicMirrorPi0StretchLite/RaspberryPi0.sh
there is an error:

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Great thanks to Mich for the MM-Projekt - I love it. So I did build my 4. Mirror as an infoboard. I’m using a cheap LCD-TV (40") and a Pi zero. Everything works fine except the autostart with pm2. If I take the SD-Card with the MM to an Raspi 3, there are no problems - the mirrorsoftware starts over pm2 with no problems. The same SD card in a Pi zero w - no chance to start automaticaly. I think the problem depends on the pm2 software. Has anyone an idea to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
Michael
