    • 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=0

      right 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…

    • RE: module not found error loading module in MagicMirror

      @macg

      where xxx is the library noted in the message cannot find module xxx

      so your message was

       Cannot find module 'request'
      

      so xxx is

      request
      

      just to clarify
      there are MORE libraries not found than just request. so I am trying to teach you all how to read the messages and understand what to do…

    • 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.

    • testing new fixes, or solving current problems with next release code

      fixes are published in the next release via the develop branch

      to get there

      if you did manual install

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      git checkout develop
      git pull
      npm install
      

      restart MagicMirror as normal

      if you used my install script

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      git fetch origin develop:develop
      git checkout develop
      npm install
      

      if u are already ON the develop branch, and want to update to the latest,

      git pull
      npm install
      

      restart MagicMirror as normal
