EXT-Screen stops working after upgrade to Raspbian OS

freddy_boy

I upgraded my Raspberry Pi to the latest Raspbian OS version, and upon rebooting, I noticed that the EXT-Screen’s timer shows: --:-- I attempted to update the EXT-Screen module, but got some error messages:

Any ideas where I can start looking? I see that there is an indication that the module is not compatible with my OS version, but it should be at the latest version now.

HELLO !
try an update: OS: Raspbian 11 (bullseye arm)

Like @Fabaude says

Just read this:

EXT-Screen is a plugin for MMM-GoogleAssistant
So, If MMM-GoogleAssistant require:

Each plugin too…

Ok. I’ve upgraded to Raspbian 11 (bulleye arm). I have MagicMirror v2.22.0. Node version is 17.9.0 and npm version is 8.5.5 on my Raspberry Pi 4B. My EXT-Screen update seems to run ok. However, it is still not working, and I still don’t see any countdown timer in my “Auto Turn Off Screen” display. It still shows “–:–”. The only issue I see relates to the screensaver. Here is the output of performing the update:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/EXT-Screen $ npm run update

what 's Gateway version ?

cat ~/MagicMirror/modules/Gateway/package.json |grep rev

what MMM-GoogleAssistant version ?

cat ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/package.json |grep rev

I suspect You try to use an Google Assistant/Gateway EXT (plugin) like a module (MMM)

freddy_boy

Gateway version:
“rev”: “230520”,

MMM-GoogleAssistant version:
“rev”: “230509”,

I’m not sure if it is a configuration issue. I only modified the config.js file by adding:

{
module: ‘Gateway’,
config: {
debug: false,
username: “admin”,
password: “admin”,
usePM2: false,
PM2Id: 0,
CLIENT_ID: null
}
},

Can you past me logs from start of MM² ?

I hope this is what you are asking for:

You have say I don't use MMM-GoogleAssistant : NO

@freddy_boy said in EXT-Screen stops working after upgrade to Raspbian OS:

I’m not sure if it is a configuration issue. I only modified the config.js file by adding:

Am I to understand maybe you don’t use MMM-GoogleAssistant? : Maybe

From start log:
Magical: MMM-GoogleAssistant is not used

wiki says:

So …
What can I say ?
Nothing… it’s just wasting time…

freddy_boy

I am not sure what you mean… I installed MMM-GoogleAssistant and Gateway, but I don’t really use them. I read the wiki, and it indicates that I can’t use any of the EXT plugins without them, so I installed them (btw, I seemed to have a working MM in the past without them). I am assuming that I need to enable something else in order to get it to work…?

bugsounet

You can’t use Gateway, EXT-Screen and all others EXTs,
It’s not for you. it’s reserved ONLY for MMM-GoogleAssistant user

Rules:

MMM-GoogleAssistant MUST be installed, configured and ready to use (ready banner with version)
IF MMM-GoogleAssistant Ready: Gateway (installed and configured) will see MMM-GoogleAssistant, So Gateway will be in Ready state
IF Gateway is ready, it will launch all EXTs (installed and configured)

In other case, Gateway have only a “mini” app activated and will NOT Activate EXTs

For resume:
Best way for you is using the 3rd party modules of MM² and not EXTs

freddy_boy

Ok. Understood. That’s too bad, as my Magic Mirror was working great previously. I will look for other modules that might be suitable… thanks.
