@kumartrd Have a look at MMM-PIR-Sensor. You can customize it to suit your requirements. It normally triggers turning the monitor on, and sets a timer to turn the monitor off. Instead, you want to use button actions/notifications to do both, and not use a timer. Instead you can reuse the wake code for sleep. You’ll also need to add a logic test that a button press while asleep wakes, while a button press while awake sleeps. Have a look at this thread for a very thorough explanation.

@Kastore Why not just let the mirror extend past the back of the door? Are there shelves? Just let your mirror wear a backpack.

@KumarTRD It’s not executable. You need to use an editor to open it, like nano:

nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

@sefeing Use the instructions here. You want to git checkout the branch by name (in this case, run git checkout develop in the ~/MagicMirror folder).

You might even be able to use git cherry-pick 10eb41d31943a4495bf4c4674d52d0b9631a7446 instead, to stay on master but incorporate that specific fix. YMMV.

@e3v3a I take your point; in my case I’m running a reasonable size card and Raspbian/MM are all that is on the card. I do also mention to delete MM-Backup when they’re done. I really just wanted to give them the extra insurance of a full backup. Good call on tar, but they then need to know how to unpack it.

@strawberry-3.141 If you’re using git to stash changes, then you’ve clearly modified other files (IIRC, config.js and maybe custom.css are ignored). As above, I just wanted to give extra assurance that they had a full copy if anything went totally awry.

@navyvette87 @Cyberwrights is right, and where possible you should migrate your changes into config.js, custom.css, etc.

When updating, git insists that your files not have changes that conflict with those of the repository. Use git stash as outlined here to store your local changes, pull updates from the repo, then restore your own changes.

@luckylooke Great news, is it up and working? Sorry, I never got mine working, but may now try again. Thanks!

@wolkenaj /Test will tell the shell to look in the root of the filesystem (/) for Test. Instead, ./ will tell it to look in the current working directory (cwd), which I suspect is ~/MagicMirror. So ./Test is likely what you want.

Worst case, you could use the complete path (~/MagicMirror/Test or /home/pi/MagicMirror/Test) which should also work. I also suggest renaming Test to test.sh, just so it’s always immediately apparent that it’s a shell script.

@mediathreat newsfeed will refresh the feeds based on the updateinterval, so it depends on whether (and how often) TwitRSS refreshes the feeds.

Although I concede I’m not sure how to set the config parameters for updatenotification in config.js (whether you can set params without instantiating the module).
