Hello,
I build a Magic Mirror with my Raspberry PI. Everything works fine.

But sometimes (every 1-2 days), the Raspberry hangs after he turned on or off the monitor.

At first i used this commands:
sudo vcgencmd display_power 1
sudo vcgencmd display_power 0

=> Result: Sometimes the Monitor freezed. (even if i killed the magic mirror application via ssh, the monitor was freezed).
Really really bad was the fact, that i can’t reboot the raspberry via ssh. when i try “sudo reboot”, the raspberry looses the wifi connection, but doesn’t reboot. => not usable any longer.

Then i tried this commands:
tvservice --preferred
tvservice --off

But here, sometimes, the tvservice hangs after 1-2 days. i can’t control the monitor any longer.
“tvservice --status” hangs also, and doesn’t get more informations.

With the tvservice commands i can reboot my system, but reboot every day, is not really cool.

Does someone have an idea? i already switched the power supply, but nothing changed.
and i’m sure, that it happens always 2-3 seconds after the monitor turning on or off.

Kind Regards
Stefan

Hello,

I’m looking for a possibility to send a Notification/Text to the Magic Mirror. From an external system. Like SmartHome (e.g. FHEM or other systems).

All Modules i found in the meantime are called periodically via interval (e.g. every minute)…

But i would need a Module which can be triggered from “outside”. I doesn’t want to ask my Smart Home every second “are there news?”. Because i only want to show “alarms” and in 99,9% there won’t be alarms

Maybe the external system can send a http request, with the needed information, and the smart mirror shows the information immediately. (without intervall)?

Does anyone you know if such Modules (or similar) already exists which are not working with “invervall”?

If there isn’t an suitable module, i would develop it on my own, but i’m a complete java script newbie, and i think i would need some code snippets.

Thank you very much.
Kind Regards
Stefan
