Not sure which subsection to put this in, but this seemed the right place. It may be of some use to people with a MM and a video doorbell

I wanted to have the video from my doorbells (I have 2 on different doors) temporarily show on my MM when someone rung the doorbell.

First attempt was to use MMM-Remote-Control, MMM-Pages, go2rtc and MMM-EmbedURL to show the RTSP video (via go2rtc coverting to WebRTC) using Unifi’s Alarm Webhook feature calling for a page change - The 2 video streams on a hidden page, only shown on the page change call.

This worked in principal, but because the modules on the hidden page kept streaming the video even when not being displayed, the RPi5 got quite hot and the network overhead of the constant 24hr streaming was unneccesary.

The solution was to use a script to do the following:

Unifi alarm webhook calls http://pi_ip:9500/motion
go2rtc starts
Wait 3 seconds for go2rtc to connect to cameras
MagicMirror electron refreshes (/api/refresh) so iframes reconnect to go2rtc
Wait 3 seconds for refresh to complete
Switch to camera page (/api/notification/PAGE_CHANGED/1)
Camera feeds display for 60 seconds via WebRTC
Switch back to main page (/api/notification/PAGE_CHANGED/0)
Wait 2 seconds for page to switch
go2rtc stops

Works perfectly now. RPi stays cool and no constant streaming from camera to MM. There is a few seconds delay before it starts, but that actually works for me because of the location of the MM, the doors and where we usually are in the house.

Hope this helps someone who wants to do something similar.

MMM-OpenWeatherForecast looks like the weather module I want to use.

But I’m getting a strange formatting thing – look at the attached screenshot. The icons are giant and the module runs off the screen.

Any ideas? It’s installed per the insrtuctions and up-to-date.

I have a new 1GB RPi5 running the latest version of MM, installed using @sdetweil 's scripts

It is running very hot at 84C

I don’t have any cooling hardware and it is not installed in a case, but airflow around is not restricted at all.

The only additional program I have running is go2rtc to stream an RTSP camera feed to an iFrame, but that is on a seperate page (using MMM-pages) that is only called on demand

I have ordered a cooler, but wanted to see if there was something amiss.

For the last few weeks, my calendar weeks have been starting on Monday, rather than Sunday (I’m in the US). It used to show Sun-Sat, but now it’s Mon-Sun.

I found the weekStart: 0 setting, but it’s not having any effect.
I set the locale: en-US.
I tried setting the mode: “week” and type: “row” and weekStart: 0 or 3 or 5 just to see what it would do, and it had no effect.
I set type: “weekly” and it did change the first day to Sunday, each week was a column, not a row.

The blocks from my config are below. Can anyone help?

module: ‘MMM-CalendarExt2’,

Hi all,

I have a running MagicMirror version 2.27.0 on RP4 with Buster.

Before I update it to 2.34.0 should I update the RP4 to a newer software than Buster?

And how do I do it, and what about my MagicMirror files on the SD-card, are they gone or is there a way to make backup of the files/card?

Im trying to installe some fonts needed to rund MyTado, but is says Buster is to old?

Hi Folks,

I would like to present you two new modules for the Steam fans. They are called MMM-SteamDeals & MMM-SteamUpcoming.

SteamDeals shows current deals in the Steam store.
https://github.com/badubada/MMM-SteamDeals

MMM-SteamUpcoming shows upcoming games.
https://github.com/badubada/MMM-SteamUpcoming/.

Both modules provide a lot of filter features for your own use case.
They work separately but provide in tandem the best user experience to my mind.

Feel free to use and to adapt it to our use case. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvements just let me know.

Have a nice weekend!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on my MagicMirror setup for a while, but I keep hitting walls. I want it to do more than just show the date, weather, and news. Ideally, I’d love it to automate home devices, adjust the room temperature automatically, and give smart reminders. Right now, it feels static and I’m not sure where to start.

Has anyone faced similar challenges? What’s the best way to add real home automation features to a MagicMirror without making it too complicated? I’d really love to hear your experiences.

Hi Folks,

I would like to present you my first module named “MMM-REnergy”.

It provides up to date statistics about the transition of the energy system towards a renewable one for the test case Germany with the scope to expand it to each single European country.

Feel free to use and to adapt it to our use case. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvements just let me know.

Have a nice weekend!

This is more of a FYI /fix /workaround than a troubleshooting issues/question.

Recently, the api.linqconnect.com API endpoint has started blocking certain User Agents, including axios (and curl).

Using a custom User Agent to impersonate an actual web browser bypasses this block.

MMM-HideModulesOnSpotify

This is a small Magic Mirror² module that can hide one ore more modules when MMM-OnSpotify starts.

The problem I had that my MagicMirror was full and the MMM-OnSpotify came over the other modules.
With this module, I have created a way to automatically hide a module when MMM-OnSpotify opens. When MMM-OnSpotify closes again, the original module is reloaded in its place.

This module loads automatically, but is not visible on the MagicMirror.
The only thing you can see is in the logs that the module has been loaded.

Installation

Clone this repository in your modules folder, and install dependencies:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/htilburgs/MMM-HideModulesOnSpotify.git
cd MMM-HideModulesOnSpotify
npm install

Update

When you need to update this module:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-HideModulesOnSpotify
git pull
npm install

Configuration

Go to the MagicMirror/config directory and edit the config.js file.
Add the module to your modules array in your config.js.

{
      module: "MMM-HideModulesOnSpotify",
      config: {
            modulesToHide: ["clock","calendar"]

I have setup MMM-Google-Routes and learned the painful experience of not setting a quota with Google. I have since setup a quota of 160 queries/day and a cron job with MMM-Scheduler in an attempt to limit queries. Unfortunately, I have hit my quota everyday before I wake up. Here is my scheduler configuration, could it be the issue? my intent is to run the query every 5 min between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.

        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: [
                // Refresh the route every 5 minutes from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM 
                { notification: 'MMM-google-route/refresh', schedule: '*/5 6-8 * * *' },

hey all. noob time.

from their descriptions, using ModuleScheduler i should be able to change the contents of CustomText via a notification, but it’s a little unclear to me how this is supposed to work.

what the docs seem to describe:

{       module: "MMM-CustomText",
        position: "top_center",
        config: {
                initialMessage: "change with notification?",
                uniqueID: "ct_event",
                animationspeed: 1000,
        },
},
{       module: "MMM-ModuleScheduler",
        config: {
                notification_schedule: [ // sched = cron format
                        { notification: "CUSTOMTEXT_UPDATE", schedule: "33 * * * *", payload: { type: "notification", uniqueID: "ct_event", title: "test 1"}},
                        { notification: "CUSTOMTEXT_UPDATE", schedule: "34 * * * *", payload: { type: "notification", uniqueID: "ct_event", title: "test 2"}},
                ]

        }
},

which is clearly not correct because it does nothing, but i’m stuck as to why. any help is appreciated!

I opened this issue MMM-pihole-stats: “Duplicate Results Displayed With 2 Instances of MMM-pihole-stats in Config File”. It is issue #54.

In summary, I have two instances of MMM-pihole-stats defined in the configuration file. The first instance displays the data for pihole1 and the second instance display the data for pihole1 instead of pihole2.

The text of the issue is:

I have two Pi-Hole systems, pihole1.lan at 192.168.1.3 and pihole2.lan at 192.168.1.4. Using dig verifies the Pi-Hole names and IPs match up.

In the MM config file, the two MMM-pihole-stats modules are configured the same except for these statements:

• The position: statements, the first is top_left and the second is top_right. The instances display in the proper position.
• The header: statements, the first contains “Pi-Hole1 Statistics” and the second contains “Pi-Hole2 Statistics”. The instances display the proper header.
• The apiURL: statements, the first contains “http://pihole1.lan/api” and the second contains “http://pihole2.lan/api”. The first instance displays data for pihole1 and the second also displays data for pihole1.

Why is the second instance data not displayed? Is this module design problem or must I do something special to have multiple instances of the same module?

Working on a concept… This will be a board that allows an autistic person to select from a set of options - there can be 1 or more option - with the sweet spot being 4 (2x2 matrix). There is an admin interface (ala MMM-Chores style) that the parents would use to manage the specific choices. I have some experience with this above, so this would work for our use case, might not work for all. The interface is kept simple and muted to reduce sensory overload. Open to feedback and thoughts.

When will be a new voice control can I use Alexa voice control I’ll like add voice control to turn
My MMM-pages
If something needs a key or api could module maker put a link on the page to get the link or key api etc
As I had great difficulty finding the token for national Rail uk. Any help in finding. Tokens or api keys etc.
