Hi,

I’am pleased with the module as it is, I just can’t seem to get the keepAlive working.

Part of my config:

{
			module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
			position: 'bottom_left',
			config: {
				devices: [
					{macAddress: "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", name: "Kleine iPad", icon:"mobile"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Telefoon Hein-Jan", icon:"android"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPhone Nicole", icon:"phone"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPad Nicole werk", icon:"apple"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Tesla", icon:"car"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Grote iPad", icon:"tablet"},
					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPhone Hein-Jan", icon:"phone-square"},
				],
				showUnknown: false,
				keepAlive: 300,
				showLastSeen: false
			}
		}

The keepAlive is in there, but if a device is detected (highlighted), it also “disappears” (un-highlighted) in aprox 5 seconds.
I was under the impression that the keep alive would keep it highlighted (alive) for at least 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Is my understanding wrong?

Kind regards,

Hein-Jan

Adding

address: “0.0.0.0”,

to the config.js also did the trick for me.

Thanks!

Same problem here. ipWhitelist worked in 2.1.2. 2.1.3. no more.
VNC works, Putty works. MMM-Remote-Control cannot be accessed.

@Mar

I had similar problems. A search on the forum revealed that a daily reboot acts as a work-around. I am using the MMM-Remote-Control in combination with the MMM-ModuleScheduler for the nightly reboots.
It works like a dream ever since.

@morozgrafix & @ianperrin

On scheduling and Cron Jobs.

To my regret the Schedule did not work out the way that had I planned it. My mirror did not show cute, drifting Valentine icons on Valentines Day. Some further experimentation today has shown that MMM-ModuleScheduler does not work with either an 02 or a 2 but does work with a “feb”.

Mine was running at aprox 70°C. My mirror is vertically orientated. The Pi is in a casing but al the sides of the casing have been removed. I have fitted the CPU and the memory with heatsinks.
The Pi was mounted near the top of my mirror (I could slide it under the piece of board that is being used to mount the mirror on the wall.) My mirror case does have some ventilation holes at the top, but no fan.
Being slightly worried about the 70°C (I expect it to go up to 80°C in summer) I decided to change the postion of the Pi in my mirror from the top of the frame to the bottom, so it was no longer in the monitors pre-heated air.
At the bottom of the case my Pi is now running at aprox 55°C. A drop of 15°C by simply relocating within the mirror frame.

I’ll take that over running a fan for my mirror.

I’m with cowboysdude,

MMM-ModuleScheduler combined with MMM-Remote-Control.

Scheduler sends MonitorOn and Off’s to Remote.

Works like a dream!

I also have problems with the default calendar module and repeating or recurring events. Especially when editing a specific event that is part of a repeating event.
I deleted one episode of a series of events. My Google calendar (app on phone) no longer shows the event, but my Mirror still shows the event. I have tried a restart and a reboot, but the calendar module persists in showing the event.
I have modified yet one other episode of a different series (changed the duration). Again Google calendar on Phone shows updated results, the mirror persists in showing the none-updated version.

This is annoying as I am using the Mirror as a family board, it has all the musical classes, sports trainings, chores-schedules etc. on it. These are of course recurring events, but some of them also tend to be edited to fit that week’s specific schedule.
It feels to me that the default calendar module has a problem with handling exceptions to recurring events.

Any ideas / solutions?

@morozgrafix

Yep, alreay did that.

This is my config included is the scheduling part.

{
                        module: 'MMM-Valentine',
                        position: 'fullscreen_above',
                        classes: 'scheduler',
                        config: {
                                // display the module only on the 14th of february
                                module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 02 *', to: '30 23 14 02 *' },
                                valentinesCount: 25,
                                valentinesSize: 2.00,
                        }
                },

I have been struggling with the 2 asterixes behind the “minutes and hours” values but before the “day of the week” value. Cron revealed that they probably are “Day of the month” and “month of the year”.
I am a Noob, and all of the scheduling examples had wildcards there. I feel fairly confident this is going to work.

Can it be combined with MMM-Scheduler to only (and automatically) show up on the 14th of Feb?

It is running a bit sluggish on my Pi3 as well. But I love it anyway!

Briljant.

I also have 2 Wunderlist/lists running one underneath the other.
I also implemented this by having the module twice in the config.

Building on to this.
I am thinking of a modules that displays a note on the mirror, exactly like the mentioned: I’ll be home late.

I would think of it as a Sticky.

I already have the Wunderlist module, so I can image that one of the lists would be: notes. And everyone within the household (connected to the Wunderlist) could switch notes on and off.
This can ofcourse all be done in Wunderlist, but I would like it to be more explicit than a simple entry in a list. I think it would be cool if it realy looked like a yellow sticky (at a slight angle, somewhat random placed) with black handwriting on it.
So it is more a different presentation of the Wunderlist module.
Is this possible? I do not the faintest idea of where to start.

My fellow MagicMirror enthusiasts,

I ran into Michael project about a year or more ago. It kept nagging in the back of my mind. Having revisited it in November I saw that the MagicMirror2 had sprung to life. That got me going, so I decided to start my project over Christmas.

The monitor and Pi were relative easy, and within a few days I had the computer hardware running (thanks KirAsh4 for an excellent tutorial!).
Then came the woodwork. Going to a local DIY store and buying some strips of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and a strip of architrave (the strips that cover the gap between a doorframe and the wall) was again relative simple. Getting all that together into a simple, square, seamless frame cost a lot of filler and sanding work.
3 layers of undercoat and 3 layers of colour topcoat took throughput time (applying was 5 minutes, drying 24 hrs…).
I had decided that I wanted a metallic finish. So I ordered 5 grams of flakes and mixed them with a clear coat. 2 layers of mixed coat, topped with 3 layers of clear coat (without the flakes) finished the paint job.
Ah, I almost forgot, I also had to paint the back of and the sides of the frame as they would be visible, also adding to the throughput time.

In one of the final days of 2016 I went to a local interior decoration store and informed about obtaining an observation mirror. In the second week of January I received their quote, and confirmed the order. Delivery took another 2 weeks.
So hardware took me about 2 days, the woodwork about a week, the paintjob almost 2,5 weeks, getting the mirror took me 4 weeks.

The simple 24” 16:9 monitor was about € 120,-, the Pi including power supply, casing, HDMI cable etc. € 70,-, the woodwork € 15,-. The paint was another € 50,-. The mirror was € 120,-. So in total the cost amount to something between € 350,- and € 400,-.

This weekend it all came together.

I am quite pleased about the metallic effect:

The woodcolorred glow on the frame is a reflection of my yellow fleece, not a imperfection in the paint job :smiley: .

I am running: Systemtemp, Updatenotification, Remote Control (which now has an update module in it!), Clock, Calendar Monthly, Calendar (with Google agenda), Compliments (need to look into using a compliments file…), Currentweather, Weatherforecast, Wunderlist (twice for separate lists), Newsfeed (by nu.nl).

@roramirez.
Thanks, you have hit the nail on the head. I did run the git pull command, I have run the reinstall (the script did not work so I ran the manual method, but I did not run the npm install.
Sorry, I am new at this.
I did search the forum but could not find a solution.

So, thank for pointing out my mistake and helping me rectify it.

@ others: thanks for sharing your problems and logs so the problem could be solved.

Case closed from my perspective.

I have run the update on the MMM-Remote-Control module, and now get a white screen when starting MagicMirror.
If I // the lines on the MMM-Remote-Control module in the config.js the Mirror shows up normally. I have deleted and reinstalled the MMM-Remote-Control module but the problem remains.

Any advice? I do like the functionality of the Remote Control module.

@Jopyth,

As per your request I have added an issue on Github. I am not sure I can be of much help, I am new to this. But thank you for for all the development work.

@ostfilinchen

You got to be kidding me!
But you are right, I just tried! Chrome: it works, Edge: black screen.
But somehow I have a feeling it just to work in Chrome before the update (of the MM to V.2.1.0).
Thanks for the Work-around.

Hein-Jan.

Hi,

I’m starting with my first MagicMirror. I have run the tutorial over Christmas. All worked as I liked it to. I have run the update today. No I have a problem. If I run the Remote-Control module, I do not get a copy of the mirror, but I just get a black screen. If I than switch to ip:8080/remote.html, I do get the Magic Mirror Menu and the control options.
I have tried updating the Remote Control module but it says “Already up-to-date.”
I am at a loss at where to being solving this problem.

Hein-Jan
