Video quality is pretty bad but I’ve been working on a single, full page module specifically for my system and Hello-Lucy. The orange-ish square (bottom center) is an enlarged CPU core image containing the temperatures of each core.

Just can’t teach him to fetch, roll over or play dead… LMAO

Of course you can. My wife did that a long time ago. :^)

If only the video quality was this good. Click on images for a better view.

i’m afraid to show the picture to my wife.

I can relate. :-)

@bhepler said in Help Me To Get Lucy Working:

Ah. That’s fine. Considering the functionality added, it seems a small price to pay. I just want to be sure I’m aware of the ramifications. If I’m building mirrors for friends, I need to weigh the pros & cons of including Hello Lucy into their builds. If I can maintain access to their mirror, then I can make it work. I just have to remember to redo my modifications to the module code.

I have not and would not be so bold to ask all module authors to include these four lines to their module.js files. Doing so would not affect their modules but doing so would make them immediately available to Lucy and survive all updates.

if (notification === 'HIDE_COMMAND') {
            this.hide(1000);
        }  else if (notification === 'SHOW_COMMAND') {
            this.show(1000);

But if the owners intend to run the updates… then I should probably hold off on the Hello Lucy module.

Agreed, but it’s there for people that want to use it. Again, when I made Lucy there was no other module like it in function. I wanted to be able to do exactly what it does. I’m sure there are better modules that do it now, but not then. Not a single one. Ironically, Lucy’s name turned out to be more appropriate than I thought. I only used it because it’s my granddaughter’s name.

I barely trust myself with modifying the code, let alone teaching someone else how to do it!

Well, for me, learning involved modifying code. I’m not encouraging anyone to do anything. However, if they want to use Lucy then this is what they must do. If they want to get their feet wet I think that is admirable. Most copy and paste their config.js entries. This is basically the same thing, if they want to experiment and learn.

@cowboysdude

Oh SNAP!

@wickedflow

Try installing node.js, and so, npm to latest stable version. Then, try the MM installer script again.

Worst case scenario, manually install MM.

Cue the confetti. =:-)

@akkor said in Problem server client configuration:

I could test but I need your assistance 'couse I’m not a programmer
I’m just good following guide…

Why I think it won’t work. You’ll be running MM and MMM-voice on the server machine. The client machine will only have a browser pointed at MM running on the server machine. The client has no way of accepting the voice commands because only the browser is running.

Now, if you had a microphone (at the client machine) with a cable that reached all the way to where the server machine is . . . :)

@cowboysdude

I’m running out of compliments bro. :-)

https://github.com/alexyak/camera will take selfies and send them to a host of email accounts and it’s written by the same author as the motiondetector module mentioned by @bhepler

@stephenmelody said in 43" Magic Hallway Mirror:

oh and a shout out to @mykle1 for the AfterShip module, probably my favourite one on the screen!!

You’re welcome, mate. I’m using it myself! Nice work on the mirror!

@axel

I would go with MMM-SleepWake because it’s a newer module and it’s fully supported by our friend, @sdetweil

@cowboysdude

Dayam!

@maltavius

I believe you’ll find your answer here, mate. Good luck.

Score one for the forum search feature! :-)

@termeric said in Finsihed my first mirror:

I added a back to the mirror and drilled some holes for ventilation, but i may either take it off or drill a few more since i’m getting the temperature indicator on the screen.

Nice job. Looks great!

IMHO, no need for a back at all. You can also drill ventilation holes in the the sides and the top and bottom. You will see a significant improvement in temp. And don’t rule out heatsinks or a fan. Both are inexpensive and you’ll never worry about heat again. When you see results like this you’ll sleep better. :-)

My thanks to all of you. I’ve added your contributions to the readme with a “Contributor” tag. We’re changing the world, one module at a time. Peace!

Sorry, late to the party

Did you bring the beer?

Thank you, my friend. I’ve added your info to the readme. :thumbsup:

@Peter

Pay particular attention to this line:

PM2 will now show you a command you need to execute.

Most people miss this step. You have to execute the command that appears.

And lastly, you have to save the PM2 state
