Thank you all for the response. I’ve followed google instructions and getting nothing but errors. I’ve copied the existing MAC for my pi, and added a custom IP ending. When trying to add I get these errors.

Error converting one or more entries:
Possible causes of this error:

1. The MAC address is invalid. A valid MAC address is for e.g.11:22:33:aa:bb:cc
2. MAC address already exists in the DHCP lease reservation table
3. MAC address is currently assigned to another IP address
   TRY AGAIN

Not worth losing my internet like the last time I attempted. This stuff is terrifying.ha

Good morning,

My VNC connection is coming and going. I believe due to my lack of a static IP address. I am accessing my raspberry pi via VNC and using a motorola surfboard 6580.

I’m beyond a noob at this level of change and concern that I will lost my wifi if I continue fussing with the DHCP clients. This happened when I attempted a change a few days ago. I am currently connected to VNC.
Can anyone give me a little kick in the butt to get this situated?

Nick

@sdetweil

and Sam for the win. again.

Thanks.

Not sure what I did now. Everything was working smoothly last night.

Now, I no longer have VNC access and the remote module will not connect anymore.

Any suggestions?

@sdetweil

Thanks Sam. I reinstalled, reset the Client Secret and now is working beautifully.

@sdetweil

Hmmm. no I have not.

Excuse my ignorance, but how would this be used or implemented?

I love this app. I’ve had it working previously, but on a new install of everything, I am not getting the module to connect.

I’m very new to all of this, can anyone help with why I can not connect?

Happy to provide whatever I can to clarify my issue.

Nick

@nneuland

Thank you Sam. I used MichMich’s install.

Thank you for the script.

I recently had a problem with my pi and decided to start fresh.

Things are looking well, but my pi is shutting off on it’s own after apx 5 minutes.

I was remoting via VNC and lost connection and froze the screen.
Is there a default screensaver that I’m forgetting ?

Nick

@sdetweil

Deleting PIR from the config through the remote worked!

Thank you Sam.

@nneuland
Nothing truer has been said. I’ll give it a go

@sdetweil

Not sure how that happened out of nowhere. I should delete the PIR module through ssh to see what’s going on then?

Unless I can modify the config file through the remote app. Not sure that’s safe though.

@george

I believe the PIR is working fine. Just not sure why the HDMI connection is immediately lost after the mirror has loaded.

Wouldn’t disconnecting the PIR from the Pi correct this?

@sdetweil

I hope that I have enabled SSH on the raspberry. I think I had.
I have yet to try accessing the pi yet from SSH, but fingers crossed.

Yes. I am using PIR as a motion sensor. I have tried detaching the PIR with no luck.

I’m in a bit of a pickle here. I have my magic mirror programed to start automatically upon booting of the raspberry pi. However something happened last night that I can’t explain or get around.

When I boot the Pi (4) everything works as expected, but once the mirror starts up the monitors connection to hdmi is cut immediately and I have zero signal. I have not found a way to get connection to the monitor to be able to troubleshoot.

This is definitely a Pi issue, as I tried in a different monitor with the same issue .

I am at a loss here. I have no idea how this happened. Please. Any help?

@sdetweil

You’re a gentleman and a scholar!!!

@sdetweil

you’re right

not sure why

@sdetweil

yeah. Just getting a black screen and a cursor.

@sdetweil I think I celebrated too early.

Very odd thing happening. I’ve lost all of my modules. Back to default. What in the world did I do now?
