I have two rooms equipped with Bosch since one week and happy to test your module.

Hi all and @darick_c ,

I would like to use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to show some pictures full screen.

In the config I use:

gradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 20%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ]
horizontalGradient: [ "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 30%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 70%", "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ]

So, there should be, top to bottom, a darker area from 0% to 20% of the screen and from 80% to 100%, right?
And from left to right, there should be a darker area from 0% to 30% and from 70% to 100% of the screen.

I put a 100% white picture in the background, to see where the darker area is.

I don’t know if I understand the gradient, horizontalGradient wrong or something else is not correct.

Full config:

{
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
			position: 'fullscreen_below',
			config: {
				imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/BackgroundImages'],
				transitionImages: true,
				transitions: ['opacity'],
				randomizeImageOrder: true,
				slideshowSpeed: 500000,
				gradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 20%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ], //von oben nach unten, % = wo im Bildschirm startet es
				horizontalGradient: [ "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 30%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 70%", "rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%" ] //von links nach rechts, % = wo im Bildschirm startet es 
			}
		},

@FatTony123 can you explain how to use the fork? I am a total noob.

My MM was running now for 48h without freezing. I don’t know what happened the last couple of times. Thank you to @Tribun ! I checked all the logs and found no problem. I will now start to install the first modules and see what’s going on.

@Fozi
Good morning, with a clean OS and a clean but stopped MagicMirror my Raspberry ran for 48h without any freeze or wifi problem or what so ever. Even after the 48h I could access the OS via SSH.

Now I rebooted the system, MagicMirror with only the default modules without any changes are running. Let’s see what is in the log’s after 48h.

I am still looking for help, where I can find the right logs to look into.

Thank you.

I now have a clean OS installation and a clean MM installation. Stopped MM with

pm2 stop MagicMirror

and see, what it is doing over night.

Hello,

my MM freezes over night. I suspected the SD card or one of the modules. So I bought a new SD card and the original Pi power supply and proceeded step by step:

1. only Raspberry Pi OS 5.4.51 installed -> runs 48h without problems

2. MM via the installation script of @sdetweil

-> MM runs for about 12 hours then the PI obviously loses the wifi connection or something else happend and the whole OS freezes. I still see the MM on the monitor, but:

• in the terminal I can still execute commands
  or
• the whole OS is frozen, not even the seconds are running

My question, what is the best way to proceed? Where can I view which logs?

@sdetweil can you give me a screenshot where I find the solved-button?

Edit: Sorry, first I had to mark the question as question. Than there was the solved button. Well, this is kind of hidden :-)

@earnestrichards said in Disassembly a Dell U2715H:

I had the same question when I started work on my ‘mirror’ earlier this summer. I had purchased a HP monitor and found a link for 3rd party recyclers to properly disassemble and recycle the various monitor parts.

I used the same search term (except Dell not HP) and found this:
Dell Monitor Disassembly

Thank you, 24h after my second email I got a perfect disassembly instruction. Unfortunately, the pdf is to big to upload it here.

At the moment I am doing long term test. A have a new SD Card, with online running raspberry os on it. So far, after 24h the pi runs smoothly and the Wi-Fi is still working.
Tomorrow I will install MM2 on the same card, to see what’s going on.

What I need to know is, where to look if after installing MM2 the problems start?

I have to strongly disagree with you on this point. The NINA app has worked for me several times and has been proven to work fast and accurately. Even with GPS-based locations (e.g. on business trips) it warned me about events on the move.

Of course the whole system, not the app, failed during the warning day. But it wasn’t the app’s fault, there were several cascading effects.

Nevertheless, big fires in my area, airplane bomb discoveries, all this has worked very well, fast and reliable during the last years.

Therefore my clear PRO for the app and also for finally releasing the API. Via “Ask the State” they tried this before, unfortunately without success.

There seams to be a RSS feed, but no API at the moment. :face_with_cold_sweat:

Thank you,

.MMM-RAIN-MAP {
   opacity: 0.7;
}

in the custom.css works very well.

@bhepler is there a good way to set the opacity of the map?

@Jalibu Thank you for this awesome module!

Thank you, at the moment I would like to find the problem. There are a couple of modules on the MM that are using the internet connection regularly. So there should be no need to disconnect.

Add the following to the custom.css to make the text a little brighter:

.normal,
.dimmed,
header,
body {
    color: #fff;
}

Hello,
my Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) seems to lose the WiFi connection after a few hours (I can’t say exactly yet).

Whereby this is not correct. The device still has the correct IP address. In the WiFi menu it is connected with the correct SSID. But I can’t ping a device in the network anymore. Also the Raspberry is not reachable from the network.

Rebooting the Raspberry solves the problem immediately.

Power Management: off is already set. What else can I do?

Thanks

@sdetweil thank you. It seams to work. The script was way more easy than expected.

May I ask, if I roboot the MM with Strg+Q, will my script run again?

I did my donation today. Hope many more will follow. Thank you!

@v0rtex that would be very nice to have!
