new script for mirror release upgrades
as we get more users, we see the same errors occurring after each quarterly upgrade…
i have started a script to do this for the users…
lets collaborate and get it working…
I’ll maintain a copy on my dropbox…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/71xtxr18si7cpnq/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0right now it doesn’t DO the npm installs… (flag for that)
we need to determine which files are important on the git pull ( i use fetch/diff to get the list of changed files)
and what to do about them… reset hard or stash /stash pop after…know that package.json, package-lock.json and custom.css are files of concern so far…
it find all modules which have a package.json, and goes into each and does npm install if the base npm install works…
we know that some modules are difficult , because their electron version must match the base…
how can we detect that and run electron-rebuild… -
We've added a link to the 3rd party modules list to the top of the forum
always hate telling people to look, but where??
now its on the top bar.

MMM-SleepWake using external motion detection source
Description
Enable MagicMirror sleep from external (camera) sources
If you are running the MM on a non PI device, or want to control sleep/wake without having to wire up another device, this module will take external info and signal MM to sleep or wake up.
I use a Webcam camera for the motion detection, driven by the github Motion project.
That project allows for a script to be run when motion starts and ends. I provide a script that
creates a file for both events, and the module detects those files.the module supports sleep and wake 3 different ways… On PI using the tvservice command, or the exec dpms command if not using HDMI, or hiding all modules if using an energystar monitor (like my tv)
I have submitted changes to MMM-voice and HelloLucy to allow our modules to know about the others processing… so voice Go To Sleep and motion wakeup work… if using the Hide method, modules already hidden at sleep will remain hidden on wakeup.
