did u just download MM again to do the install? there was an update saturday night which included a change to fix this black screen problem

@erycken bummer, u need keyboard access to the MM screen to do the ctrl-shift-i…

you could restart the mm in dev mode to do the same thing, but u will need keyboard access to select the console tab

@erycken press ctrl-shift-i (lower case letter i) to open the debug console and select the console tab, you may have to scroll back to see if the module reported an error here

@postremalone no… the timezone is based ont he javascript moment…

see here, you can use any/all of each line… yours I think could be
“Indian/Maldives|MMT”,

I am building a digital photo frame, large (cheaper that buying one). anyhow, using a linked folder to my linux box with a samba server…

all is good, except, between images there is a big black screen… is there a way (with the html approach) to hide the image transition?

I know in one of my modules, I had to write code to wait for the image load completed before showing the image, but I am writing directly to electron apis

my config

{
	module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
	position: "middle_center",
	config: {
		opacity: 0.9,
		animationSpeed: 500,
		updateInterval: 20000,
	}
}

@sispheor well, as a new MM user, obvious is not so…

i have 5 lines of console.log on my MMM-kalliope.js

@dmwilsonkc edit the MM/modules/MMM-kalliope/MMM-kalliope.js and change all console. to Log.

console.log is ONLY allowed in the node_helper.js and Log.log is ONLY allowed in the module.js

@sispheor trying to help, I installed the module on my mirror… but… curl notifications don’t work…

is there an install step missing? or a package.json that defines the install process for the dependencies?

cut paste from the module readme…

~/MagicMirror/modules$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"notification":"KALLIOPE", "payload": "my message"}' http://localhost:8080/kalliope
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused

netstat shows nothing listening on 8080

so, my mirror is NOT on 8080, but 8086, due to other components on the normal MM ports…

you should update the instructions to say use the MM port on the curl…

now… I got the notification, and see the debug log (ctrl-shft-i) say

MMM-kalliope received a socket notification: KALLIOPE Payload: my message

and the content shows for the configured amount of time (8 seconds per the above config settings)

fun challenge… sorta need two sensors… one outside to detect coming in, and one inside to detect going out… that one inside needs a fast response time, as u need the info up long enough to be useful…

I have my mirror using motion and wake up all the time on any motion… but have it on short sleep time (2 mins), so it goes to sleep fast… pi/sbc is still running, so at most you are saving a small amount of power for the monitor.
