    • MMM-Wunderground: Weather alert not disappearing...

      Hi!
      I wonder, why this message (yellow text) is not cleared.

      0_1488222077128_Bildschirmfoto vom 2017-02-27 19:51:24.png

      I do have this for about 5 days now. Reboot will not help.

      Can someone give me a hint, how to clear this?

      Besides: Its pretty warm right now and no “Glätte” (ice) nor “Wind” (wind) can be expected. Its clearly an old message ;-)

      Thanx!

    • RE: VoiceControl module

      Searching for endless hours now, but no solution in sight…

      Im trying to trigger the mm-music-player module with this voicecontrol module (i say “MUSIK ON” and the mm-music-player starts a certain mp3 file). But no luck…

      My microfone can record audio (tested with arecord …) …

      (note: i had to change my “sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf” and the entries “defaults.ctl.card 1” and “defaults.pcm.card 1” from “0” to “1” to get my USB microphone working/recording)

      …and my mp3 soundfile can be played (tested with “omxplayer -o hdmi …”) - and also if i click on the mm-music-player-module…

      pm2 logs mm (after a reboot) shows this:

      I…

      • installed the voicecontrol and mm-music-player
      • double checked the code
      • changed the mp3 file with another
      • implemented the code like “GinSeng” stated some lines above.
      • created the hotwords over at snowboy and copied them to “/MagicMirror”, “voicecontrol” and “mm-music-player” directories
      • …
        But im not able to find the problem…

      Any suggestions?

      Thanks a lot for your help…

    • RE: MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

      @zichao92
      What i also did, was a complete reinstall of the PIR-Sensor

      I followed the steps, “Banglee” described some lines above:

      ok so lets go step by step:
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

      now we will remove the PIR folder:
      rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

      and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:

      git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
      cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
      

      run the following cmd here:
      npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

      Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
      sudo useradd -g pi gpio

      and reboot your Raspi:
      sudo reboot

      Sorry, no further ideas so far (maybe you can open a PIR-Sensor troubleshooting thread)?

    • RE: MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

      @zichao92

      First things that come to my mind:

      • maybe a “sudo” is missing? Like sudo npm install --unsafe-perm?
      • are you executing this from the MMM-PIR-Sensor directory ?

    • RE: MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

      Also had the “white screen” problem. I installed a complete new Raspian (with PIXEL), a new MagicMirror - including node.js in version 7.3.0
      As soon as i tried to get the MMM-Pir-Sensor working, it failed (with an white screen). Heres, how i solved my problem.

      At first: Theres no need to downgrade the node (i tried this too, and had no luck)

      I figured out, that my problem was an MMM-PIR-Sensor installation error i did not recognized at the beginning. When i tried “npm install” i got something like this (an error):

      "gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/5.12.0”

      I figured out, that there are two ways of solving this:

      1. CHOWN the directory the install procedure tries to install
      2. use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

      Im aware that option two is not the “elegant” way, but it solved my problem (and i did not have to change directory permissions).

      I removed all files and git the files again (like described some lines above from banglee) and then just use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

      The “–unsafe-perm” option was the key to my problem…

    • RE: Newsfeed only loads once, then stops udating...

      @lolobyte

      Try to look at the original files which came in the downloaded package. I also had problems and realized later, that i had forgotten some characters…

      In your case, i think you have to put each title and url in parentheses. Look at my example from above and also dont miss commas…

      Something like this:

                                     {
                                      title: "Süddeutsche Zeitung",
                                      url: "http://rss.sueddeutsche.de/rss/Topthemen",
                                      },
                                      title: "Tagesschau",
                                      url: "http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2",
                                      "http://www.stimme.de/storage/rss/rss/regioticker/regioticker.xml",
                                       }
      

      As i mentioned above - take the original files as reference, go throug it character by character and you will get it some trys later…

    • RE: Bathroom mirror and humidity

      @Stellanova
      I build a bathroom mirror and its doing well (but installed it just a few days before). See my thread: link
      I read a lot about humidity and elektronics, but could not get a valid result if a monitor would get damaged or not.

      I think it also depends a bit in how your bathroom is constructed and how humidity is handled. My bathroom is based on chalk walls which absorb nearly 85% of the fog i produce when i shower.

      The monitor i used for my mirror, has also no air holes at the back. I think this will also prevent some damage…
