    • RE: Where did everyone go?

      Hi Guys,

      I've searched for a Candle smart home forum and this is the only place I can find.

      Can you please direct me to the correct forum?

      I've already made an appology on the following thread;

      https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/10634/candle-the-privacy-friendly-smart-home/10

      I'm sorry.

      Hi Guy's,

      My appologies if I've come to the wrong place or posted in the wrong area, but this is the only place I've found that comes remotely close to a Candle Smart Home Forum.

      I've googled for Candle Smart Home Forums and the candle website has very little in the way of a "Contact us" link or form.

      If anyone knows where I should be asking, I'd be more than grateful for the information.

      Sorry for being Off Subject, I didn't intend to hijack the thread, I just haven't found anywhere else to ask.

      Hi Guy's,

      This is the display I have;

      https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014WKCFR4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

      I've reinstalled webthings gateway, candle, candle manager, mysensors, voco, seashell (typed in the command line). I don't have any sensors or things as yet and I've not uploaded a floorplan. I have a small TV connected by HDMI and the Raspberry officail 7" touchscreen (800 x 400).

      I get the candle splash screen, but then nothing but a blank screen, also on the 7" touchscreen the candle splash is upside-down.

      Do I not see anything as I've not uploaded a floorplanand/or have no sensors or things?

      How do I rotate the touchscreen?

      @TheoL, Thanks for the reply.

      No Iwasn't asking for something else.

      I didn't realise I could use any of the USB ports, I thought I had to use one particular port.

      Now I maybe jumping the gun a little here;

      Hi Guys,

      Newbie to RPi's, but have some knowledge of Arduinos.

      I've installed WebThings Gateway and also the Candle files.

      I'm connecting my Raspberry Original 7" Touchscreen to a RPi 4b 4gb.

      I have;
      5v to 5v
      Gnd to Gnd
      HDMI to HDMI
      Now the Candle literature states to connect the USB from the Display to the USB on the Pi, but which USB port?

      I'd be grateful for some direcion on this. Also It seems odd to have the 5v and Gnd, wouldn't the USB (when connected), provide the power?

      Hi Guys,

      I have the RPi 4b 4gb and the oriinal Raspberry 7" touchscreen / display.

      I'm trying out Candle Smart Home for the first time and relatively new to RPi's, but have some knowledge with Arduinos.

      In the instructins with connecting the touchscreen, it states connect the HDMI on the display to the HDMI on the RPi, then connect the USB of the display to the usb on the RPi.

      Which USB on the RPi am to use?
