Hello,

unfortunately I have a problem with my PIR-Sensor.
I followed the instructions of MagicMirrorCentral (https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/pir-sensor-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror/).
Now the PIR sensor also works. But after I installed that and restarted the Raspi, my desktop is black. But only the desktop. The application, MagicMirror, is displayed. When I minimize MM with Ctrl + M, I only see a black desktop. The mouse pointer is displayed and can be moved. But I can not click on anything.

Of course I already tried the option with “vcgencmd display_power 1”. Unfortunately with the same result.
I would really appreciate, if you could help me.

Thank you in advance.
Lars

Hello,

I have the same problem with the black screen and google maps.

Have you already found a solution?

Hello,

my bathroom, where my MM is , is too bright. So I would like to have all fonts bright. No darker shades.
Unfortunately, I could not find anything to this in this forum.

I would be happy if someone could help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have a problem with my two MMs. Both runs independently.

For both MMs, the monitor always turns off at the same time (MM one every day at about 8 a.m., MM two every day at about 21:30 p.m.) and stays off until the PI is restarted.

The monitor one turns off after about 3 hours after reboot, the other after about 16 hours after reboot.

For both PIs I installed the XScreensaver and deactivated the screensaver.

Monitor one has an installed PIR sensor but the other one does not.

When I connect via VNC, I can see the MM display. But not at the monitor.

I have unfortunately no idea, why the monitor turns off.

I would really appreciate if anyone have a good advice for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

currently I am building a new MM and have at the beginning unusual problems.
I installed the MM blank and take my old config.js from my old MM. After that the MM starts normally via pm2.
As soon as I installed the first module, the MM does not start anymore via pm2.
The pm2-Logs are

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 logs MagicMirror

When the MM start via pm2 the package.json file seems to be corrupt. When I start with DISPLAY =: 0 it works.

I would be grateful if someone could help me.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your help.

But suddenly a miracle happened.

Tomorrow morning I switched on my monitor and the MM runs. And I did not do anything. And I really haven´t a intelligent reason.

Now, when I reboot the Raspberry, the MM starts automatically.

Thank you for your time.

pm2 status is

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 status

│ Name        │ id │ mode  │ status │ ↺      │ cpu │ memory 
│ MagicMirror │ 0  │ 2.6.0 │ fork   │ online │ 799 │ 0%     │ 16.8 MB   │

 Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app

and in pm2 log I get this every two seconds

pi@raspberrypi:~/.pm2 $ tail -f pm2.log
2019-02-15T15:36:47: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] online
2019-02-15T15:36:48: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT]

I tried the complete guide with creating an .sh-File and so on. But unfortenately with the same effect.

I have the same problem.

I installed a fresh MM with pm2. The MM started. But after a reboot the MM does not start automatically.

Unfortunately I have no idea.

It would be grateful, if someone could help me.

Thank you in advance

Hello,

my PIR-Sensor caused a black screen.

It worked fine until a few days ago.

Then the MM started and after a few hours the monitor switched off and does not switched on again.

Today I installed the PIR module (https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor) again with the old PIN-settings. But now, when the MM start, there is only a black screen.

Thats the config

{
                module: 'MMM-PIR',
                position: 'bottom_center',
                config: {
                        sensorPIN: 4,
                        delay: 30000,
                        turnOffDisplay: true,
                        showCountdown: true,
                }
        },

Does anyone have a good idea?

I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance.
Lars
