Solved Black screen MMM-GoogleAssistant

[elliottpickles]

So I had my MagicMirror working last year with lots of modules, I remember trying to update MMM-GoogleAssistant using the Remote Control module which then broke something and was left with a blank screen. I was pretty busy back then and now I want to come back to this to fix it, with any help appreciated!

Notes: I did an extensive forum search yesterday looking at lots of people’s solutions but this is what I’ve done/discovered

• pm2 log mm (below)
• My config for MMM-GoogleAssistant may be outdated, so I tried adding in new lines from ‘http://wiki.bugsounet.fr/en/MMM-GoogleAssistant/ConfigurationStructure’ to what it is now (below)
• I had Assistant2Display configured too but I saw this no longer exists so I removed it
• I believe I did run an electron rebuild on the GoogleAssistant but fix

pm2 log mm
