I agree this should be improved. In the front end I already used a placeholder/proxy which we can simply adjust. (See the Log object).

In the backend such a proxy is not yet available. I think the best approach is adding a similar proxy so that we easily can swap out any 3rd party framework.

Guys, I’ve just made a modification that hides a region if all modules in a region are hidden. This should prevent unwanted margins when a region (like the top_bar) only contains hidden modules. This allows my to move the updatenotification module to the topbar.

Due to the nature of the change, this could cause some serious issues if it contains any missed bugs. It would be great if you guys gan pull the latest version and let me know if everything keeps working. If you’re having issues with some modules not showing up, please let me know.

Thanks!

@done I come across MagicMirror posts daily. Take a look at Reddit … People really seem to love claiming the idea … ;)

I try not to get annoyed by it too much … ;)

Thanks for mentioning. Not the first time this happens … Oh well, let’s see it as a compliment. ;)

Nice work! LockStrings are not yet implemented, right? Until then I can’t use the module.

Any ETA for https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler/issues/4 and https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler/issues/6?

@jamlid Your Node version is extremely old. Just use the installer as noted in the documentation.

Please create a separate post for this. Thanks.

A link to the globe was posted literally posted in the reply above your question. But don’t sweat it … here it is again: https://www.chromeexperiments.com/globe

@wjdw87 You really didn’t read any word of this topic. Did you? 😂

@jamlid My wife and I noticed the same when our Mirror was off a few weeks ago. Can’t live without it. ;)

About solving the issue:

• What steps did you try to install it?
• And what did you try to fix it?
• How do you try start your mirror?
• Does this repository work on your pi? https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

If the last repository doesn’t work for you, please open an issue in that repo, since it is a issue with electron.

Fixed: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/develop/modules/default/alert/README.md

Did the npm install finish without issues?

@Pieps Feel free to send a PR with the fix. Or if that’s too difficult, feel free to point me to the right file containing the error (+ line number). I’ll fix is.

Thanks!

@FlorianRD, did you run npm install from within the MagicMirror folder?

You can ignore the grunt issue. Grunt is only used in the development process of the mirror. Indeed, next up is modifying your config. If the mirror stays black after reboot, you know you made a mistake in the config file. ;)

Arent you running any tool that watches your directory and restarts? Like nodemon or pm2?

No, can’t give you an ETA.

Keep me posted on the restart issue.

Didn’t look into this very much, so maybe one of you can answer this: is it possible to let Alexa execute commands or code? So we can incorporate it into MagicMirror²?
