Ok that is what I was wondering. I am playing with it now. I WILL figure it out. I like the idea of it being blank we have enough ambient light from out side. (night time porch lights, I live out in the sticks.) for security lighting…

@Nneuland
Exactly and I have dimmer max set to 1 which should in my understanding blank the screen. It used to but since my reinstall of MagicMirror and all modules it does not seem to work correctly. I am in the process of removing it and reinstalling the dimmer module, to see if that is my problem… It also starts dimming 2 hours early but changing the dim timer has no effect. The reason for removal and reinstall today…

Anyone else getting this error when trying to update/upgrade?

What would the script code look like to do this manually instead of using the motion thing. I tried installing it but could not get it to work for me… the autoreconfig would not run at all… make just failed and one other step could not find certain files. There is no indication it actually installed. so I ran remove and it did. not sure where the motion program was installed in the first place I tried to install from inside MagicMirror/modules so I would be easier for me to find with no luck and when I tried to use find to find it nothing was found. Not my cup of tea for sure.

Thought if there is a way to run your script manually I would then just incorperate that into a cron job and be done with it.
The module I am running autodimmer still glows at night and you can see the modules faintly in the background…

@sdetweil

Ok was looking around for one of those chromebox deals and saw those… Will keep shopping…

@sdetweil
Is there a way to run this as a cron job to black out the screen then in the morning un black the screen?
I don’t understand the camera angle, I have Motion Eye running on a PI zero and raspberry 5 mp camera and it works showing up in my mirror using Motion-Eye. I just do not understand at all the code to make it happen…

@sdetweil
One of those little computers you can run windows on. Like this from ebay. They are dirt cheap.

@sdetweil
Do you think a thinclient would be able to handle MagicMirror or at least debian bullseye?

@Jalibu
Ok it finally found my location.
The Lon and Lat where not registering in the module for some reason now they are… So all is good again…

@sdetweil
Where are you finding these chromebox for 20 bucks?
I would like to snatch one or two…

@Jalibu said in MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x):

A few days ago, Openstreepmap obviously made some changes with their tile servers. They seem to block requests now, when the requests come from Electron applications. This is the case in most MagicMirror installations. As a consequence, MMM-RAIN-MAP does not show map tiles anymore.
I suspect, that also other modules are effected.
One possible fix is using another tile server for MMM-RAIN-MAP. One that still works at the moment, is the German fork “https://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/${z}/${x}/${y}.png”.
I will adjust the module soon, to use this tile server as a default.
You can also change the tile server by setting this property in the module config:

{
  mapUrl: "https://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/${z}/${x}/${y}.png"
}

How do I go about getting that for the usa in particular kansas.?

You are the Man, I knew it was something simple that I was overlooking. As they used to say, “I sometimes can’t see the forest for the trees”…

Here you go, the URLs are public so you can see what I am doing wrong easier…

Well I bit the bullet and reinstalled MM and all my modules. I use the MM-buckup module, it does a really good job of reinstalling all the different modules I have installed. I just have to copy over the modules from backup that I have multiples of… So far everything is working as it should except CalendarExt3 …
The default calendar is broadcasting CalendarExt3 just is not listing evidently…
That and I still need to resize openweather…

@sdetweil
Not sure why either.
I removed and reinstalled default calendar and it still works fine.
Did that thinking maybe I had something corrupt in the calendar module. Didn’t make a difference.
I will try to remove and reinstall CalendarExt3 tomorrow and see if that fixes the problem. If not I’ll be bugging the maker of CalendarExt3 again. He has been very helpful getting it up and running the way I want it to…

@sdetweil
I will give that a try next rainy day we have.
I like to try things like that module on my raining can’t do anything outside days…

@sdetweil
I finally have calendar working again. Had to completely replace my config.js with the sample one. Then rebuild it. I could get everyone of my calendars to work in the stripped down config.js so I just removed my calendars settings from my original config.js then copied and pasted the working calendar settings from the stripped down one saved and rebooted calendars work fine now. NOW on to the MMM-CalendarExt3 not picking up from the default calendar for some reason… Thats a problem for another day…

My Old Cronjob was like this.
00 07 * * 1-5 /home/pi/hdmi-on.sh
45 21 * * 1-5 /home/pi/hdmi-off.sh
00 07 * * 6,0 /home/pi/hdmi-on.sh
00 22 * * 6,0 /home/pi/hdmi-off.sh

hdmi-off.sh file contains :
vcgencmd display_power 0

hdmi-on.sh file contains:
vcgencmd display_power 1

Don’t forget to
sudo chmod +x hdmi-off.sh
sudo chmod +x hdmi-on.sh
If you go this route.

Now I use MMM-AutoDimmer
my setup in config.js it works great

{
        disabled: false,
        module: "MMM-AutoDimmer",
        position: "fullscreen_above",
        header: "",
        // Don't change anything above this line
        config: {
        maxDim: 1,
        brightTime: 700,
        dimTime: 2130
              }
},
