@wyovino I find a very easy setup to be a server on an RPi3 A+ and the client in kiosk mode on an RPi Zero 2W. This also gives one the option of having multiple clients attached to one server. I’m an (old) engineer and a minimalist so I chose DietPi for my OS. This results in very little lag while easily maintaining them via ssh. Total power consumption at full load is 5.5W (3.2W + 2.3W) versus the 4.6W for the Model 3 B+, but incrementally you get power savings as you add more clients. Cost wise, this is also more effective if you have multiple clients. On the server side, I created scripts to install MM and eliminated the need for pm2 in favor of using services, as this save significantly on memory usage (RPi3 A+ only has 512MB of RAM). DietPi + bare services + dropbear + MM server take up only 194-206MB of RAM. Swap varies from 0-30MB. I do not have a lot of modules running. The basic Calendar, Weather, MMM-RAIN-MAP plus a module I create for to capture and display Ring camera snapshots (currently called MMM-RingSnapshot). On the client side, I created a script to perform the most basic installation which reduces all display resources to bare X and chromium. Total is 240-248MB running DietPi + chromium in kiosk mode with no windows manager. Swap varies from 0-120MB while running. I was thinking of posting the scripts on GitHub, but I’m not certain there is appetite for something that is non-standard for MM. YMMV

@thartley – Follow Sam’s instructions. I am traveling so didn’t get to finish mine. I got to a point where I got a message that the action was in progress, but it would never finish. After some research I’m pretty sure I have a permission problem and will check it out when I get home in a couple of weeks.

@vgardenn cool. We’ll fix that The MagicMirror install doc says [image: 1768964087898-img_4726.png]

@wyovino The current temperature displaying is now correct. I’m guessing this was an issue at the source.

@wyovino shouldn’t need to, the os is ending . all processes will be stopped

CBS news feed is working for me https://www.cbsnews.com/latest/rss/main

Update: I believe the problem is with Yahoo, not my Magic Mirror. Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Buster, MM V2.24 Yahoo news feed stopped working a day or two ago. I’ve rebooted but no improvement. Other news feeds are still working. Error Message in PM2 logs: [ERROR] Newsfeed Error. Could not fetch newsfeed: https://www.yahoo.com/news/rss Error: Not Found on Accelerator Here is the link from the config file. https://www.yahoo.com/news/rss That link works in a browser on my PC

@sdetweil Using Bookworm? Maybe my memory allotment fix messed things up, but I’m pretty sure it was like that before I did that. And it’s like that on two different Pi Zero 2’s, so it’s not a physical issue. I have a bunch of unused 4’s and 5’ but I’m reluctant to use them because I hear the drone of the fans when they’re in the mirror, which is in a small bathroom.

@wyovino bookworm start memory total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 425 236 150 8 94 189 Swap: 199 3 196 found a bug in the installer, not increasing the swap space… never could finish install… fixed finished install and first pm2 start was 48 seconds… total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 425 215 138 11 137 210 Swap: 869 236 633 swap mem usage w MM running 55% so, bookworm is definitely larger mem requirements.

@wyovino please update to the latest version https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/releases/tag/v2.9.5

I would like to make the game time font larger but keeping everything else the same. I’m using Large Logos.

Update. I started fresh with Buster instead of Bullseye and followed these instructions to get MMM-PIR-SENSOR working. https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicMirror/comments/u1eq9u/problem_setting_up_pirsensor_with_magicmirror/

@wyovino yes. use a different calendar module see the 3rd party list
