After working for some time, I finally eliminated the random PIR triggering by using doorbell wire wrapped in aluminum foil to extend the distance between the PIR and the Pi itself. I’m happy with the build. and would only change a couple of things. Next time, I will probably get the microwave motion sensors, and I’ll definitely use a real glass mirror as the acrylic mirror already has some minor scratches.

@sdetweil I used the upgrade script. Nothing broke…except the Calendar. I went back and did npm install.

Now nothing works–I get a blank screen, which may have to do with the MMM-PIR-Sensor module which breaks every time I do an upgrade.

Greetings…I updated, and everything worked great using the update script, except the calendar. If I don’t comment out the calendar section in my config, I just get a blank screen. When I do comment it out, everything else works as expected. Has there been a change or do I have something wrong? I’ve searched the documentation and the forum and I can’t find anything.

              {
                      module: "calendar",
                      header: "Upcoming Events",
                      position: "top_left",
                      config: {
                      timeFormat: "absolute",
                      getRelative: 0,
                      urgency: 0,
                      showEnd: false,
                      maximumEntries: 10,
                              calendars: [
                                      {
                                              symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                                              url: "webcal://p62-caldav.icloud.com/[removed]"
                                      }
                              ]
                     }
              },

@sdetweil This does not work for me. I run npm install, and I get:

Obviously rebuild does the same. I’ve deleted the module and reinstalled it. Any ideas?

@evroom my apologies…I DID use both. After rebooting again, I now get “line 66: electron not found.”

@bdream said in Update troubles. Again.:

link text

This seems like a great feature that would prevent a lot of issues. I don’t think it will help me in my current predicament, though, since I already updated according to the readme.

Was the update intended to work with Raspbian updates, too? Could the MagicMirror update have a breaking change if Raspbian hasn’t been updated?

Ssh to the device
git pull (as mentioned in the readme)
reboot

Every time I update, it seems to break something. This is getting frustrating, because I can’t diagnose the problem. This time, it shows MM is running in PM2, but all I see is my Pi desktop. I don’t even know where to begin to fix the issue, because it seems like everything should be working.

I updated my MagicMirror, and apparently there was a breaking change in the calendar configuration for some reason, because when I remove it from my config, the mirror works. Here’s what I have:

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Upcoming Events",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                        timeFormat: "absolute",
                        getRelative: 0,
                        urgency: 0,
                        showEnd: false,
                        maximumEntries: 10,
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                                                url: "webcal://p62-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/hkgslOqBKyBGC-S....
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },

Can someone tell me where I’ve gone wrong?

I got it working by removing MMM-PIR-Sensor and reinstalling it. Simply updating it did not work.
