    • RE: MMM-MailMessage feature

      @ge
      You might try MMM-GmailFeed, it allows sound when mail arrives.

      Just set it to

      playSound: true,
      
      

      Not sure what that sound is, because I have no speakers on my MM.

      Thank you all for the information.
      I did not get to use it BUT I will save this information, so I do not have to ask again.
      I woke up this morning and crontab -e had started my MM like old times… It also shutdown MM last night like it used to…
      Tech is great when it does not try to give me a headache, trying to figure it out…

      Thanks again guys for all your help.
      I think I will close this as solved.
      Just Jeff

    • RE: pm2 doesnt work with crontab

      @sdetweil
      Ok crontab -e worked last night to shutdown MM. So the pm2 stop all worked.
      BUT this morning the pm2 restart mm did nothing.
      I used find to get these:

      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/pm2
      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2
      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2
      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/lib/templates/logrotate.d/pm2
      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/pm2
      /usr/local/bin/pm2
      /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2
      /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2
      /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/templates/logrotate.d/pm2
      /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/pm2
      
      

      ANY idea on which one would work better.?
      Here is my current crontab -e

      # Turn off display at 9pm
      00 21 * * 0-6 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all >/dev/null >2&1
      # Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 6:45 am
      45 06 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm >/dev/null >2&1
      # Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 7:30 am
      30 07 * * 6,0 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm >/dev/null >2&1

      @sdetweil
      Thanks for the info I almost pulled down 32 bit.
      It has been interesting to say the least going to trixie.
      Turns out my problem was a failed NVMe drive.
      I thought those things where supposed to last for a LONG long time…
      I did get crontab -e to work with trixie and MM 2.33 not a fun ride, but entertaining. I finally learned how to use bash to make batch style files…
      So not a complete loss of time…

    • RE: MagicMirror on Trixie

      I had to add a blank line in this to get config.js to work with MM 2.33 on Trixie to run my 50+ modules on my MM using Pages by @sdetweil

      let config = {
      	ignoreXOriginHeader: true,
      	ignoreContentSecurityPolicy: true,
      
      	electronOptions: {
      	webPreferences: {

      @sdetweil
      Using NVMe disk 256gb smallest I had on hand. 3 of them are exhibiting the same issues. I did try going back to Bookworm and I am still getthing a blank screen after a while. I ran npm run config:check it says all is good in the config.js ////
      I am currently reloading from scratch.
      Which OS is better for the 2.33 MM? 32 or 64 bit?
      Wondering if I was using 32 bit and now the 64 bit is messing with me… So dang many things can mess with these little devices.

      I only use crontab -e, should I try sudo crontab -e

      Did the new MM and or trixie change the way crontab works? Mine has stopped working since the update to 2.33. I tried again tonight and will see if the changes work or not… also my mm.json file quit working. Hind sight is 20/20 should have left well enough alone…

      Does your MM 2.33 on trixie blank the screen after 5 to 10 minutes?

      @Rags
      Did you get it to work like it did on bookworm?
      Mine on Trixie looks like it goes into screensaver mode, but I have made sure screen blanking is turned off in raspi-config
      I ran Sam’s screensaver off script. Mine just keeps blanking the screen the exact same image works fine on bookworm but blanks on trixie… Really frustrating.

    • RE: Best Weather module.

      @sdetweil
      Don’t think so, because I use the same location for pirate one.
      It is pretty much spot on most of the time. Open weather was off more than it wasn’t lately.

    • Best Weather module.

      I am using MMM-PirateSkyForecast module, I think that is the name of it.
      I am wanting to find one that is the most accurate with temps and precipitation.
      We removed MMM-OpenWeatherForecast with Api3.0 due to inaccurate weather.
      It was telling us 11 inches of rain expected with a 23% chance of rain with the temp constantly off 5 to 10 degrees.
      Just wondering what everyone else is using and if what you use is very accurate or not at all.

      yes, I tried using your script like usual, but it gives me the electron message.
      I have bookworm 32 bit on it. Went into raspi-config and set the default browser to firefox. Set my location and time ect. Turned on VNC had to update the raspi-config first. So many hoops to jump through anymore… Can I install electron manually so that your script works on my pi0 ? I like your scripts they take a LOT of the time setting up out of the equation… Especially your backup script… It saved me a lot of work recently when I lost the sd card on my LePotato that only runs MMM-MPlayer So I have a screen with my Driveway camera showing 24/7, I live out in the sticks.
