@bigschucks you do realize that putty and termius is SSH clients, right?

Just curious, why would you modify any file other than the config.js and the custom.css file?

https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA also uses the Weather Underground API and it seems to be a very popular module with excellent support from the author

@cruunnerr said in what mic?:

In some cases it could be, that USB mic’s got a little more latency

I can confirm this. I’ve been doing a lot of voice work recently and there is a noticeable lag when using a USB microphone. If you’re using a Pi then you don’t have any choice but to use USB. :-/

glad to hear that.

moreover u did a great job with your mirror ;)

there is also an option to activate “description” in the newsfeed module to get more information.
(if the rss-source have put anything in the description that is)

@cruunnerr said in I messed up:

i think the process of pm2 is called MagicMirror

Ahhh, thanks for putting me straight. I don’t do automatic installations anymore. I’ve only installed PM2 manually and use the commands that I stated. Good catch @cruunnerr! :-)

When I try to start the wake word I get this. Is there a way to reload or check the install of kitt_ai. Alexa works when using the onscreen button otherwise.

@navyvette87

In the body of your custom.css file:

body { margin: 5px; height: calc(100% - 10px); width: calc(100% - 10px); }

Adjust accordingly.

When you close the browser, MM is still running as a server/process in the background. If you stop and start it or directly restart it, there is no need to restart the Pi. What restarting the Pi does is just a very complicated way to stop the MM process. ;)
Do you use PM2 to start MM on boot? Use

pm2 restart mm

See here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

Or with npm, stop the package and start it again.

Btw.: what text box? The console?

OK i retried it with all the ’ replaced with ", still nothing. When i restart it after saving the config, it startes with a disk chk, then continues. When I replaced with the ", it restarts, but when I try to run node serveronly, it says syntax error.

@navyvette87 hi, the device id is how u called ur divice(product) during the amazon developer setup their u can find it but they changed the name its called Product ID now.

@navyvette87
This script will try to open browser on your device, but via ssh it will fail. There is another way to auth in that case, but just execute directly on rpi is the easier way.

@strawberry-3.141
Thx that’s awesome

@Mykle1 Thanks everyone, got it all together, got the New York Times feed at the bottom, interesting quotes in the middle. Time, date, calendar on left top. Weather top right. Now on to find a screen.

NEVER MIND…FIGURED IT OUT :)
