@lif
If it works, could you send me the command you used to get Gemini to generate it? I’ve been looking for an online EUR-HUF and USD-HUF display for a long time!
Thank you!

I can’t remember exactly what I told it, it was something like:

Can you generate a MagicMirror module to display the live exchange rates between GBP:EUR and GBP:USD with trend arrows.

I can put the script on here or PM if you wish.

It worked first time :-)

lif

No need for a reply, I got Google Gemini to write me a module, it took less than a minute.

Hi all,

Now that MMM-MktIndex and MMM-CurrencyExchange have stopped working does anyone know of ȧ live Currency Exchange module.

I would like to display GBP:USD and GBP:EUR panel.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’ve gone through your procedure again and this time it works.

The only difference is that I run a python3 script to control screen blanking using a PIR before starting Magic Mirror, this time I didn’t start that script.

With the PIR script and MagicMirror running I get:

pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 23.5, "humidity": 53.7, "temperature_f": 74.30000000000001, "error": false}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 23.5, "humidity": 53.7, "temperature_f": 74.30000000000001, "error": false}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 0.0, "humidity": 0.0, "temperature_f": 32.0, "error": true}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 23.6, "humidity": 53.5, "temperature_f": 74.48, "error": false}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 0.0, "humidity": 0.0, "temperature_f": 32.0, "error": true}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 23.7, "humidity": 53.3, "temperature_f": 74.66, "error": false}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $ ./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22
{"temperature_c": 23.8, "humidity": 53.2, "temperature_f": 74.84, "error": false}
pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts $

I can live with that.

Thanks for all your help

The only difference from yours is mine is missing the second line.

Hope this helps

@wishmaster270 said in MMM-DHT22:

@lif Hi. Great you want to try one of my modules.

Can you try installing a additional python system package with
sudo apt install python3-rpi-lgpio
I tried the scripts on my newly installed system with Bookworm and everything worked as expected.
Maybe the missing package had been installed with something else I installed on my system.

Thanks, that was already installed

sudo apt install python3-rpi-lgpio

Thanks, not the end of the world if I can’t use it.

@BKeyport said in MMM-DHT22:

@lif It’s requiring tools no longer available, so dead module. Use something else.

https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Temperature is what I used when I had a module hooked up to it.

Thanks, I’ve given it a try but get an error in the last stage of the installation

I have installed the module but get the following when I try to run your test ‘python3 AdafruitDHT.py 22 26’

Any thoughts?

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 ?

lif

@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.

@sdetweil

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

Best regards from France.

lif

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

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

@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

lif

@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

IMG file on my (new) linux desktop

lif

@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.

lif

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.

lif

@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.

lif

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

@lif and if you change to mode 1?? which matches your python lib test?

No difference.

I have added a header: “PIR”, line before the config and that is not showing either.
