I can confirm this issue on my setup as well.

I upgraded MagicMirror from 2.37.0 to 2.38.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Raspberry Pi OS Debian 13 (Trixie), 64-bit, with Wayland/labwc.

After the upgrade, MagicMirror was running under PM2 and the server on port 8080 was working correctly, but the Electron window remained black / did not display the mirror.
I initially had Electron 44.4.5, and upgrading manually to 44.5.0 did NOT fix the problem on my system.

I then tested Electron 43.7.7, and MagicMirror worked correctly.
Finally, after seeing that the MagicMirror upgrade script had been updated to install Electron 44.5.1, I installed 44.5.1 manually:

npm install --no-save electron@44.5.1

With Electron 44.5.1, MagicMirror immediately started working correctly again under Wayland, with all my modules running normally.
So, at least on my Raspberry Pi 3B, 44.5.0 was not sufficient; Electron 44.5.1 was the version that actually fixed the problem.

Thanks for updating the upgrade script to install 44.5.1 — that was essential in my case.
Hopefully this helps anyone else who finds that upgrading only to 44.5.0 doesn’t solve the issue.

Hi Ralf (@rkorell),

Stefano here! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and the kind words!

I can confirm to the whole community that v1.6.0 works perfectly with a real Home Assistant setup. The Auto-Discovery payload is recognized immediately by HA, creating a native switch.magicmirror_screen entity out of the box.

The behavior is super smooth: switching it ON holds the screen and modules active, and turning it OFF allows PSC to handle the graceful countdown to standby via counterTimeout.

Thank you again for your open collaboration and for turning a issue/discussion into such a brilliant feature for the module!

Warm regards,
Stefano (papinist)
