Has this project been abandoned? App wont work!!

[monukoshy]

I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to make this work, exploring different Smart Mirror platforms. I have experience with MagicMirror, so I am not a novice. I attempted a fresh install of this app on a Raspberry Pi 4 and installed the latest version of Node.js. The installation of Senses proceeded without issue, and I received the message "All done. Senses - Smart Mirror successfully installed," as described in the documentation.

However, when I started Senses with the command "npm run start" and tried the CLI command, the app would not start. Attempting to reach the URL ip-address:7011 resulted in a "host not reachable" message from the browser, although I can ping the host from a different computer. I noticed that a few others have posted the same issue without receiving any response. Is this software abandoned?

Hi @monukoshy,

I will do some investigation and see why the application is not started.. Although I think its related to your node version. Senses will not run above node 14 at the moment but I will try to update the packages and see if it can run in later version of node.
