Hi all,

I made a module for our hallway mirror that shows the household chores due today, from my app Chores Machine.

What it does

• Shows only what is due now. Chores stay hidden until their day comes, so the mirror stays calm.
• One line per chore, with whose turn it is.
• Several lists (family, flat, plants…) each get their own heading.
• When nothing is due it says so and stays quiet.
• English and Swedish included, and every line can be reworded with strings.
• No dependencies, no npm install. The token stays on the server side (node_helper), never in the browser.

Good to know before installing: the feed needs Chores Machine Pro (iOS/Android, 7-day free trial). The app itself is free for your own chores. Pro is the sharing part, and the mirror feed comes with it.

Install
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/Jhonte/MMM-ChoresMachine.git

Then make a link token in the app (You → API access → Make a link) and add:

{
  module: "MMM-ChoresMachine",
  position: "top_right",
  header: "Chores",
  config: { token: "cm_…" }
}

All the options are in the README: https://github.com/Jhonte/MMM-ChoresMachine

It has been running on my own mirror for a while. Feedback, bugs and translations are very welcome, either here or as GitHub issues.

I saw on here that someone had made a module that showed the doorbells video on the MM screen when someone walked up or rang the doorbell.

I was wondering if someone could make one that works for the Wyze brand Doorbell…???

Years ago, I had Neko running on my Macintosh SE. Now it lives on my MagicMirror.

Neko wanders around, pauses to scratch, and takes naps. It works without a mouse or touchscreen, but you can optionally have it walk toward a touch target.

A few features:

• Transparent, click-through overlay—other modules remain usable.
• Four sprite sizes, from 32 × 32 to 128 × 128 pixels.
• Respects reduced-motion settings.
• Notifications to show, hide, pause, resume, change behavior, or send Neko to a named mirror region.
• Supports MagicMirror’s normal hide/show behavior, so other modules can hide it when needed.

Basic configuration:

{
  module: "MMM-Neko",
  position: "fullscreen_above",
  config: {
    mode: "wander",
    scale: 2
  }
}

Feedback and reports from other setups would be appreciated!

Hi,

I have published a new weather provider for the built-in MagicMirror² weather module:

MagicMirror² FMI Weather Provider
https://github.com/i-xul/magicmirror-weather-fmi-provider

It uses open weather data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) and does not require an API key.

This is a weather provider, not a separate MMM weather module. It uses the built-in MagicMirror² weather module and follows the server-side provider API introduced in MagicMirror² v2.35.0.

Currently supported:

• current weather observations
• daily forecasts using FMI HARMONIE data
• FMI weather symbols mapped to MagicMirror Weather Icons
• automatic day/night icon selection
• sunrise and sunset calculation
• daily min/max temperatures
• daily precipitation totals
• shared forecast requests between current and forecast instances
• retry handling for temporary FMI request failures

Tested with:

• MagicMirror² 2.37.0
• Raspberry Pi 4
• Debian 11 arm64
• Node.js 24.x

The provider is available as a standalone bundled fmi.js, so installation does not require npm dependencies on the MagicMirror system.

A screenshot, installation instructions and configuration examples are available in the README.

This is the initial v0.1.0 release. Feedback is welcome.

I know this information can be found in other hardware sites but I thought it might be helpful to have it here. I am using a Sanyo TV as the monitor for my Magic Mirror. I setup a cron to turn off the HDMI output of my Raspberry Pi nightly but when I turned it on in the morning the TV had gone into Standby and would not wake. I found that CEC needed to be turned on in the TV Settings. Then I could use CEC to wake the TV.

Here are my crontab entries for Debian 13.6 (Trixie).

# Turn monitor output on in the morning
0 5 * * * env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on '*'
# Wake the TV
5 5 * * * echo "on 0" | /usr/bin/cec-client -s -d 1
# Start Magic Mirror
10 5 * * * /home/marksimon/bin/mm start
#####
# Stop Magic Mirror in the Evening

# Turn monitor output off in the morning

# Sleep the TV

Hello, I have MagicMirror installed on SD card for a RaspberryPi. There are 4 very large “core” files, three files core.1782, core.1915, and core.3964 are all 138.1 Gb and the fourth file core.7433 is 30.4 Gb. What are these files exactly and why are they there?

I’ve used MMM-Teslamate and forked version of MMM-TeslamateLocation for quite some time but since I have 2 Teslas, it requires a total of four instances of these modules so I thought that I would merge them together. I also recently created MMM-GeneralMotorsEV so I tried to make the visual style the same so they looked very similar next to each other on a MagicMirror. It still requires Teslamate to feed mqtt events.

https://github.com/maxbethge/MMM-TeslamateWithLocation

I’ve come to love and rely on the MMM-Teslamate module and wanted something similar for our new GM EV. While GM doesn’t have an official public API, it’s possible to extract long-lived user tokens and use the same API as the app. Since GM utilizes a bunch of firewall rules on top of their crappy API, it’s nowhere near as useful or timely as Tesla API calls. The API often returns 429s but YMMV. To get a user token, it’s easiest to use https://github.com/metheos/onstar_firefox.

https://github.com/maxbethge/MMM-GeneralMotorsEV

I created a module for the Life360 app. There isn’t an official public API but using a token extracted via developer tools in your browser seems to work fine when set in the module config. The tokens are long-running so unless you explicitly logout, it should continue to work. Hope you find this useful :)

A provider for the US Open Tennis Tournament has been added to the MMM-BracketEngine module. You can select any of the draws (MS, WS, MD, WD, XD, BS, or GS).

MMM-BracketEngine now has providers for (fifa, usopen, wimbledon, static). Let me know if there is a provider you want.

I am sharing a new MagicMirror² module called MMM-WorldClockMap.

I originally built it for my own mirror and my particular needs. I have contacts in places such as Stockholm and Tokyo, and I wanted an easy way to see when people might be awake and around without calculating time differences.

The module includes:

• Multiple configurable time zones
• An optional world map with a live day/night overlay
• Ambient daytime and nighttime tile colors
• Digital or analog clocks
• Large, compact, and line layouts
• Localized dates and labels
• Optional time differences, seconds, and sunrise/sunset times
• Offline map operation after installation

I optimized the presentation for my own mirror, but tried to make the layouts flexible enough for an ordinary MagicMirror installation as well. I hope someone else finds it useful.

Repository, screenshots, installation instructions, and configuration options:

Feedback and testing on different mirror sizes and orientations are welcome.

hey,

im new on this forum so i hope you all can help me out!..

i builded my first magic mirror couple of weeks ago.the setup now is a rpi 5 as server and a rpi 3 for the mirror itself. it works seemless BUT,

i took an old lcd monitor (24") and disembled it, after that fitted it in a wooden frame etc etc. loks nice. for the glass in the first option i took was plexiglass with available foil from the hardware store.
result, not flat, to much mirror in day time and to dark. so i had to put a screensaver and white borders on the HA dashboard to make it even visible.
yesterday finished my 2nd attempt, 4mm glass with better foil, less mirror effect more light transmission. but foggy mirror effect. black is not black and not statisfied at all (even worse imo)
foil:
https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0CLNMFLJ9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

so here is the deal, i would love to still use the same monitor. or do i have to switch to an oled or anything i cant place a bigger one on that spot in the house.
second of that, what would be a nice glass to start out with… i seen some links on the forum :
https://www.brigla-shop.de/glas-nach-mass/spionspiegel/
and
https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html

i love to hear what you all recomend, all tips etc are welcome! i will post some pictures also

thx in advance from the netherlands

Description

MMM-TempestWeather is a MagicMirror² weather module for owners of a WeatherFlow Tempest personal weather station.

It combines real-time observations from your Tempest with current conditions and a five-day forecast.

The display includes:

• Current temperature and conditions
• Wind speed and direction
• Relative humidity
• Barometric pressure and pressure trend
• Precipitation probability and daily accumulation
• Five-day forecast with weather icons
• Automatic WebSocket reconnection and connection monitoring

Real-time observations are received through the WeatherFlow WebSocket service. Forecast and current-condition information comes from the WeatherFlow Better Forecast service.

The module uses the standard MagicMirror frontend/node_helper architecture and requires no additional npm packages on supported Node.js versions.

A WeatherFlow Tempest station, personal access token, device ID, and station ID are required.

Installation and configuration instructions are provided in the README.

Version 1.2

• Added configurable imperial and metric unit support
• Added the units configuration option (imperial or metric)
• Imperial displays °F, MPH, inHg, and inches
• Metric displays °C, km/h, hPa, and mm
• Imperial remains the default for backward compatibility
• Better Forecast requests now use the selected unit system

Version 1.1

• Moved WeatherFlow WebSocket communication to node_helper.js
• Moved Better Forecast REST requests to node_helper.js
• Added WebSocket reconnection and connection watchdog
• Added forecast request timeout and overlap protection
• No additional npm packages required

Version 1.0

• Initial standalone release

The current version of electron we use is version 43,
This version actually downloads the binary for the matching runtime at startup.

Help from others added a script to my scripts package to help cleanup the growing disk consumption

Anyhow, version 43 is no longer supported after this year

Version 44 does NOT provide support for arm32, armhf systems.
Node 24 also has the same limitation.

We will move to electron 44 in the October release.
And will document a workaround: after install or upgrade, manually install electron 43 before running
(I’ll update the install/upgrade scripts to do the hack while it works)
— update… I have updated the install and upgrade scripts to do this starting on 2.38.0 Oct 1, 2026

We don’t know how long this hack will work.

Soooo, for those of you running on 32bit os for smaller memory, pi0-2w or pi3, you need to start making plans

1. Freeze upgrades on that system
2. Upgrade, possibly the hardware too, to a 64 bit os

We have added the electron 44 to the next release, aka develop, branch
If you have time or interest you can start reviewing its impacts by installing the develop branch.

See my post in troubleshooting about testing changes for how to get the develop branch
