To answer my own question, I commented out the urgency: line

@sdetweil

I’ve reinstalled MagicMirror with your script, it worked wonderfully, than you very much for doing this.

Best regards from France.

Bonjour,
J’aime bien l’application mais alors qu’elle se met à jour selon le texte, le graphique ne se met pas à jour.

Je suis anglais, puis-je changer vos chaînes de test en anglais ou cela affectera-t-il le fonctionnement de l’application ?

@FrostByte
I don’t know if it helps but the only way I could get my old DVI input monitor to turn on & off was with Wayland enabled and the commands

DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto --rotate left
and
DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off

@lif said in "Invalid Date" appears in Weather module. MM v2.29.0:

> I have tried adding the apiVersion: '2.5'

each of those lines had trailing commas, right?

Not that line but that wasn’t the problem :-)

Thanks for the link showing how to subscribe to OpenWeathermap which solved the problem.

I have rebuilt my installation and used backup .js files.

Everything has worked apart from the weather module.

I am getting the ‘Invalid date’ message a temperature of NaN.

I have tried adding the apiVersion: ‘2.5’
weatherEndpoint: “/weather”

Lines into the config.js file but then MagicMirror doesn’t load.

the section of config.sys is:

{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},

@lif yeh, my upgrade script does the nodejs upgrade too…

use the n command

sudo npm install n -g 
sudo n xxx
where xxx is the version you want to use

Thanks, added to my install notes

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

how backup? use my backup/restore

yes that is broken too, as the authors repos no longer exist and binary backup may not work on different OS level/nodejs level

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

@lif can you talk about this python after …

MagicMirror upgrades? if so , did you use my upgrade script?

this highlights a problem. some modules need a refresh install when nodejs and MagicMirror change
so the upgrade script does that. but that wipes the node_modules folder for the module. and the dependencies are also not available anymore.

so, if i DO try the npm install it breaks, if i dont try the npm install it might break. fun times.
i will add a check for the authors url and skip the install action

I was trying to upgrade Nodejs and if failed with lots of errors.

my mm and the whole system had got messy, so I’m using this as an opportunity to clean things up (it didn’t help insofar as a restore from the most recent backup didn’t work.

Thank you everyone, I’m sorry for opening this can of worms.

I’ve now got a Python script that runs at boot and does the job after destroying my MM installation trying to apply upgrades.

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

@lif are there any errors listed in the MM startup messages??

if using pm2 to auto start

pm2 logs --lines =xxx

xxx is number of most recent lines to display, default 15,
usually need 100 or more for full message list

Thanks for all your help
I think this line might be relevant
0|mm | [2025-03-24 16:54:30.994] [WARN] No /home/pi/MagicMirror/js/…/modules/MMM-Pir/MMM-Pir.js found for module: MMM-Pir.

It’s correct, there isn’t a MMM-Pir.js file in the MMM-Pir directory.
