Just a couple of probably very quick-n-simple queries regarding the default weather module

Firstly, current weather does not show location yet it’s all in the code

{ module: 'weather', header: 'Current weather for: ', position: 'top_right', config: { type: 'current', location: 'My_Place', locationID: '1234567', //ID from https://www.openweathermap.org apiKey: '####################' } },

Next, forecast does show location, but how do I remove the “,GB” part of the location?
(And I’ll do the same for current weather too.)

{ module: 'weather', position: 'top_right', header: 'Weather Forecast for: ', config: { type: 'forecast', location: 'My_Place', locationID: '1234567', //ID from https://www.openweathermap.org apiKey: '####################' } },

Thank you.

@Richard238 yeh I hear yah. but libraries way down below mm freaked out cause they couldn’t connect to some service to get data.

and the error specifically means mapping the text NAME of the service server to the IP address needed for actual communications

your wfh probably isn’t a cessing those sites.

most of the libraries and modules have limited recovery capabilities

@Richard238 pm2 status will show u the defined apps to monitor

if you used my script to install the name is MagicMirror.

u can also use the row number

pm2 start 0

or if more than one app is define, pm2 start all

your status from above says

0 | MagicMirror | fork | 1 | stopped | 0%

@sdetweil More by luck than skill, but thank you for your help and patience with this.

@richard238 glad to hear it…

i opened an issue in MagicMirror to document the original problem and the resolution.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2772

and updated the black screen Troubleshooting topic to be clearer about that problem fix process, and how to recover

@richard238 No you haven’t missed anything. I have NEVER gotten it to work ever… and I tried for weeks.

@sdetweil

Done! :thumbs_up:

No you don’t need to.

@richard238 outside modules have certainly changed since then. base is once every 90 days

@sdetweil cheers thankyou for your fine work

There’s an API here: https://ukvehicledata.co.uk/Fuel-Prices for UK fuel prices.
It’d be useful to someone I’m sure, rather like MMM-Fuel

Just a thought, if anyone were interested! :)

I have the MMM-MysqlQuery module working OK, just a couple of queries:

How might you change “Amt” form an integer, to a message saying “Too High” or Too low"?
[I am actually measuring temperature and lux levels, but the principle’s the same.]

Thank you.

(As posted in the CSS area, but no replies there.)

I’m looking at the border-bottom in the ‘Lower third’ region.
Currently, the line below the heading, when enabled, crosses the entire display.

The CSS attributeborder-bottom-width changes not the width, but the height of the line, not what I want.

How then, do I get border-bottom in lower-third, to be just the width of what it’s showing, and not the entire width of the display?

Thank you.

My currentweather module isn’t showing its location.

Module.register("currentweather",{ // Default module config. defaults: { location: false, locationID: 1234567, appid: "", units: config.units, { module: 'currentweather', position: 'top_right', config: { location: 'AnyTown,GB', locationID: '1234567', //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org appid: '############' } },

How do I get the location back on the current weather, please?

Doesn’t help much, but mine is still OK.

Thanks @yawns and @lavolp3 for looking out while I was at work. Somebody has to pay for all my toys. :-)

I don’t really know. I just stumbled upon it browsing through the code in the development branch as I was thinking about implementing end times in my mirror. :slightly_smiling_face:

It is not even documented in the README, you have to look in calendar.js to find out about the new options.

When the code is moved to the master branch I am sure they will update the documentation (and also change some defaults to be non-reaking such as showEnd which should be false by default)

@richard238 - To supplement @MadScientist excellent post, VNC works regardless of the Magic Mirror process state.

The default installation of Magic Mirror via the script uses pm2 to run a script at /home/pi/MagicMirror/run-start.sh. You can follow the instructions above to create your own script to run Magic Mirror in serveronly mode and switch between the two as you see fit.

pm2 stop MagicMirror pm2 start mm_so

and so on and so forth. Do keep in mind that running the MagicMirror process with the interface enabled includes the web server. So your options are 1) full magic mirror with web server, and 2) web server only.
