Turn the monitor on and off automatically

To turn the monitor on/off on a daily schedule, grab this script and put it in /home/pi/rpi-hdmi.sh. Next, make it executable:

chmod +x /home/pi/rpi-hdmi.sh

Now we’ll need to add a cron entry to call this script at the desired time, so open the cron editor:

crontab -e

And add the following lines at the bottom of the file:

Turn HDMI Off (22:00/10:00pm)

0 22 * * * /home/pi/rpi-hdmi.sh off

Turn HDMI On (7:00/7:00am)

0 7 * * * /home/pi/rpi-hdmi.sh on

The first number (0) is the minutes and the second number on each of those lines (22 and 7) is the hour in 24 hour time. So in this example, the monitor would turn off at 10:00pm and back on again at 7:00am. Adjust the time for your needs.

Keep in mind: this does not turn the Raspberry Pi off! It just turns off the monitor, saving energy and hopefully extending the life of your monitor. The Raspberry Pi is still on and running however.

@kevinb311 I’ve been using it for about a month without any issues!

@dhirajv12 Try navigating to ~/MagicMirror/vendor then running npm install

@strawberry-3.141 Most the data is back up. Just disregard Canada, Sweden, Russia, and Europe.

Thanks!

@costascontis Make sure the away read permission is active on your nest development OAuth client

@vinp Awesome! Thanks!

it looks like its just the nhl games having issues

Anyone having issues that the scores don’t display? The matches show up properly but during the games nothing is displayed.

Is there anyway to play a video thats stored on the SD card? Mine rasp pi 3 lags when streaming the mp4

Any luck with this bug?

@j.e.f.f Sweet. So far so good!

@j.e.f.f Looks good! Is there an easy way to resize the rows? If you have more then 3 or 4 items, it kind of takes over the mirror.

@j.e.f.f So far everything has been working smoothly. The only thing I’ve noticed is the Chicago White Sox icon is labeled wrong. It should read CWS instead of CHW
