@animeman0 there’s too many variables to give you an answer as it depends on there following: is there an angle difference between the monitor and glass across the whole monitor space? What is the lighting like in the area? Where is the lighting in the area? What about natural light in the area?
The only wait to know for certain is for you to try it, can you try it without removing the protective film?
Can you run the following commands from the CLI to check if anything is using that port
sudo netstat -punta | grep LIST
sudo netstat -punta | grep 8080
@spitzlbergerj that’s is really cool, I might make one of these for home when we change our bathroom suite. What’s the toilet roll etc on the display for?
I’m not sure if that’s going to be cheap or easy to find out.
Did you just remove the screen panel from the TV? What about the other parts that has the connections, eg: vga, hdmi, etc?
It’s easier (and normally cheaper) to take a monitor as they generally have the right connections and also display better than a TV.
@mattx38 I have just the Wifi icon on my MM, can you paste your config and I’ll take a look to at it. Also I setup a little script to restart my networking in the event of disconnection which I can share if that’ll help?
Hi all,
I recently suffered a power outage uknowingly (happened whilst I was at work) and one morning I updated MagicMirror (using sudo git pull && npm install) and since then my MagicMirror boots up to the raspbian desktop then the screen goes blank. I’ve followed other peoples advice of forcing an update but with no effect. I also tried a “np install” from each of the module folders that contained a package.json file but again - no effect.
Here’s an outout from the pm2 logs

The error appears to be due to a module issue but I can’t find one, anyone else have the same issue? Is it a case of rebuilding?

@bhepler ok, I’m seriously missing something here…I removed the internet monitor folder and did a git pull from your page (https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor) and also cleared down my config.js to a simple config but it just doesn’t look right (see attached image) I’m missing the wifi symbol and it defaults to a speedtest server in Norway and not the one specified in the file (12667 in the US).
Please help, it’s slowly driving me insane.

Hi, only just discovered this module and it seems like a great idea however I cannot get the wifi symbol to appear.
Here’s my config for the module:
module: “internet-monitor”,
position: “bottom_center”,
header: “Internet Monitor”,
config: {
type: " ",
maxTime: “20000”,
updateInterval: “0”,
verbose: “false”,
displayStrength: “true”,
displaySpeed: “false”,
strengthIconSize: “80”,
maxGaugeScale: “100”,
wifiSymbol: {
size: “50”,
fullColor: “3afc25”,
almostColour: “#ffff0c”,
halfColor: “#ff8c00”,
noneColor: “#ff1111”
},
}
}
Am I being thick and have missed something?
Additionally is the wifi symbol a measure of internet speed on the pi or wifi strength to my AP?
Hi all, newbie here (only to MM not Linux).
I’m having trouble setting up MM so it shows the current event, once an event starts it removes it from display.
Here’s my current config:
modules: [
{
module: “alert”,
},
{
module: “updatenotification”,
position: “top_bar”
},
{
module: “clock”,
position: “top_left”
},
{
module: “calendar”,
header: “Upcoming Events”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
maximumEntries: “15”,
maximumNumberOfDays: “14”,
hideOngoing: “false”,
showEnd: “true”,
getRelative: “0”,
fade: “false”,
fadePoint: “1”,
calendars: [
{
symbol: “calendar-check”,
url: “webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/75/UK_Holidays.ics”
},
{
url: “https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/”
}
]
}
},
I’d like to keep the current view as it is (showing start and end times of the events but also keep the currently ongoing events displayed too.
I’ve tried different config options but can’t seem to make it work.
Any ideas?
TIA
