@poopyurinal pm2 stop mm

@poopyurinal pm2 list

@poopyurinal said in MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart:

I know that to start the module successfully, I can enter the following 3 commands:
source env/bin/activate
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi
python3 assistant.py

you are not starting the module… you are starting a background application
that is included in the module folder

the ‘module’ only runs inside the MagicMirror environment

so, you need to create a command that does the startup…
start the py and then start MM

and then automate that

if u stop MM manually and restart it (without doing the assistant.py step) do the GA work thru mirror as u expect?

and with mirror running on boot, press ctrl-shit-i to open the developers window, and select the console tab, and scroll up to find any module errors

there is also a pm2 command to show its log… (I don’t use pm2 myself).

@poopyurinal ok, but if yoiu start it manually does it work?

pm2 stop MagicMirror
open a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)
cd MagicMirror
npm start

does it all work?
I don’t know assistant.py I assume it runs in the background… and somehow talks to the module…

auto install script sets up a pm2 module to start mirror app

@poopyurinal so, does mirror app start? but assistant doesn’t work ? are you using pm2? to control Mirror autostart?

starting a pgm at boot

you might need two? on the py and one the mirror app?

what is the reported problem? and where?

@s-monti-74 way cool congrats!
