    • First Mirror

      Hello all,

      I thought I would share with you my first MagicMirror project.

      Also want to say thank you to the entire community for the healthy support and commitment to the MagicMirror and all it’s newbies, I for one truly appreciate it.

      I am currently using the following modules
      MMM-RPI-LED
      MMM-iCloud-Client
      calendar
      MMM-Events
      MMM-Globe
      MMM-DarkSkyForecast
      MMM-HomeAutomation (local hack of ‘mmm-openhabfloorplan’ used for displaying home automation, power and local weather station data)
      MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify
      MMM-SystemStats
      newsfeed
      MMM-Cursor
      MMM-Remote-Control

      Frame was made from reclaimed barn wood and glass is Dielectric TV Mirror from twowaymirrors.com

      Screen is a Dell (S2718D) S series 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

      This monitor has a USB-C power adapter with a USB-C pass through which I used to power the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

      I also have attached a USB speaker and USB microphone (both currently unused)

      I have had a lot of fun building the home automation portion that displays the status of more than 100 smart home devices including indoor and outdoor lighting, security sensors, thermostats, fan controls and smart roller shades.

      Here are a couple of pictures of the mirror

    • RE: MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

      @karsten13 I was not able to get any commands using the wlr-randr to show anything other than “failed to connect to display”, however, after much searching, I did find a command that was able to turn the screen off and on

      MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off
      
      MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 60 --rotate left
      
      

      Although I’m not sure how to get this into something that can be called from MagicMirror itself so that it can be run as a menu command in MMM-Remote-Control or some other way that it can be called from outside of MagicMirror

    • RE: MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

      @karsten13 said in MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor:

      wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off

      @karsten13, I did try those commands and I receive this response to both

      MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
      failed to connect to display

    • MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

      Anyone using MM on a Raspberry Pi 5 or running a Raspberry Pi 5 in general know how to turn off the monitor now?

      I have been using MMM-Remote-Control and turning off/on the monitor using the following requests

      http://<MagicMirrorIPAddress>:8080/remote?action=MONITOROFF
      
      http://<MagicMirrorIPAddress>:8080/remote?action=MONITORON
      

      Which ultimately issue the commands

      vcgencmd display_power 0
      
      vcgencmd display_power 1
      

      but these commands, no longer work and are generating errors and not Turing the monitor off/on

      [30.12.2023 12:15.44.921] [ERROR] 
      [30.12.2023 12:15.44.927] [ERROR] Error: Command failed: vcgencmd display_power 0

        code: 255,
        killed: false,
        signal: null,
        cmd: 'vcgencmd display_power 0'
      }
      [30.12.2023 12:15.47.731] [ERROR] 
      [30.12.2023 12:15.47.732] [ERROR] Error: Command failed: vcgencmd display_power 1

        signal: null,
        cmd: 'vcgencmd display_power 1'
      }
      
      

      This is the command line result from outside of MM

      MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ vcgencmd display_power 0
      vc_gencmd_read_response returned -1
      error=1 error_msg="Command not registered"
      
      

      Web searches for a solution have been unsuccessful.

      Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

    • RE: Could not resolve host

      @sdetweil Yes, I am not very confident in my Internet sometimes! I work from home and I see my connection to the office drop for a few seconds on average every day. I am also trying to rule that out as a possible cause for some mysterious lockups where the MM and RPi appear to still be running but I lose VNC connectivity and eventually have to pull the plug to reboot :-(

    • RE: Calendar fetch issues

      @sdetweil Thank you for the explanation, I will not worry too much about those errors then.

      I have had some mysterious lockups on the MM and so I am just trying to resolve what I can from the logs to better pin it down, I really appreciate all the help!

    • Could not resolve host

      Hello, I have seen few times in the logs the errors below.

      [2020-10-15 01:06:54.515] [ERROR]  fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

      Does anyone know if this is more likely related to local internet connectivity or something external and if there are any ways to resolve it.

      Thank you kindly,

      Rick

    • Calendar fetch issues

      Hello, I have seen the following errors in the log for calendars and am looking for help to resolve them.

      The first issue appears it may be a legit 503 service unavailable issue, but does throw an error into the log.

      [2020-10-14 13:34:33.657] [ERROR]  Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar:  http://p42-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/MjE1NDI5NjM0Mj*MASKED*--sxGM 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

      I have also seen the following error but they don’t always coincide with the 503 errors so not sure if they are related or not.
