      Hi,
      I am using EXT-Screen with EXT-Pir, I placed a countdown timer on my main screen. I noticed that as soon as I start my mirror, one countdown starts and if there is a detection with PIR sensor, a duplicate timer starts.

      So lets say, if my delay is 60 seconds then my countdown starts as 60, 59, 58, 57… and after PIR detection the countdown looks like this: 60, 56, 59, 55, 58, 54… and so on. It somehow mix two timers together. In the end, it shuts off the screen when the first timer countdowns to zero even when PIR is detecting motion.

      I would really appreciate some help with this. Hopefully, I am clear with the problem description but let me know if you need more details.

        Hi, generaly it’s happen when you useMM² in server mode (open MM² with the web link)

        EXT-Screen is coded for turn on/off the main display and not a remote display in server mode

        If it’s just for see MagicMirror in remote, just use VNCViewer and don’t use ‘http’ link
        in other case, this module is not compatible with your proper using

        Note: by using server mode
        You will use multi time API of modules.
        API have some max query (hours, days, month)
        When Max query is detected by the api. Your module can’t received any informations
        So your module can crash and display nothing

        That why it’s better to use VNCViewer

          Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

          I am not using MM in server mode, directly working with pi (no VNC, SSH, etc.). Do I need to change something in the main config file to make sure I am using the web link?

            I forgot to add one thing that its just not two timers. Everytime, I have a PIR detection, a new timer is started and it gets combined with the original. So I can have maybe 3, 4, 5 timers running together.

                  It’s that i says … you use a web link for displaying MM²

                  It’s running 2 times. everythin is initialized 2 times

                  it’s means, 2 sec after MM is launch you open a web page for see MM²
                  So all is again initialized
                  It’s not a good method, sorry

                  MM² should display it self in full screen without open http://xxx:8080 in a browser
                  Each time you use the web link … each time it will initialize all … each time you will have a new instence … and each time all will be displayed like an unique screen

                    Alright, thanks for this.
                    Can you please suggest how can I fix this problem in the config file? I am not sure how to implement your method.

                      there is no fix…
                      I don’t invent the method
                      MagicMirror² App will open and Display it self without open an browser

                      see there I don’t invent nothing 😉

                      If it don’t open itself, it’s your main isssue
