Hi everyone!

I wanted to share something that came from my own frustration developing MagicMirror modules.

For years, testing a module meant either setting up a full MagicMirror installation (overkill for just iterating on one module), or developing blind and hoping it works when you finally deploy.

I built MagicMirror Module Sandbox to change that. It’s a lightweight dev tool that spins up a local testing environment for your module in seconds — no full MagicMirror install, no Docker, just your module and a browser window.

What you get:

• 🚀 Zero setup — Run npx @angeldeejay/magicmirror-module-sandbox from inside your module folder and you’re done
• ⚡ Live reload — Changes to your config or module files reload instantly
• 🎛️ Visual config editor — Edit your module’s config through a browser UI instead of hand-editing JSON
• 🔄 Full MagicMirror lifecycle — Simulates start(), notificationReceived(), updateDom(), and all real lifecycle hooks
• 🔌 Real node_helper.js support — Socket.io communication works exactly like production
• 🐛 Debug panel — Inspect both helper logs (server-side) and browser console in one place
• 📡 Notifications inspector — Send frontend notifications, monitor socket traffic in real time
• ✅ Module quality check — Quick analysis against MagicMirror’s third-party module standards

How to use it:

One-off test (no install needed)

npx @angeldeejay/magicmirror-module-sandbox

Then open http://localhost:3010 and start hacking.

Works great for:

• Rapid iteration while developing
• Validating config changes before deploying to your Pi
• Testing in CI pipelines (Playwright integration test support included)
• Debugging why a module behaves differently on the actual MagicMirror

GitHub: https://github.com/angeldeejay/magicmirror-module-sandbox
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angeldeejay/magicmirror-module-sandbox

This is v1.1.0, tested across real third-party modules. Stable and ready to use.

If you’re a module developer, I’d love to hear what you think — open issues if something doesn’t behave as expected, or let me know what you’d like to see next.

Hello,
As a dedicated user of Magic Mirror I am frequently searching for a module for my car, a hybrid Toyota Yaris 2025.
I can check my car from inside my house, but a MMM-MyToyota module would be very helpful.
I don’t have the skills to build such a module, but maybe there is somebody in this forum who is able to do so.

Thanks

Pim

Description:

A MagicMirror² module that displays your photos as a stack of overlapping, slightly-rotated polaroid-style cards. At a configurable interval a new photo flies in from off-screen and lands on top of the stack, while the oldest card drops off the back once the stack has grown beyond its configured size.

then i ran npm start and get the punycode error

i then read in another thread to do npm run start:x11
this works but the punycode still appear but mirror runs.

feels like theres multiple item for me to fix and im kinda lost.

can some kind soul help me out?

Release Notes

Thanks to: @cgillinger, @khassel, @KristjanESPERANTO, @sonnyb9

⚠️ This release needs nodejs version >=22.21.1 <23 || >=24 (no change to previous release)

Compare to previous Release v2.35.0

This release falls outside the quarterly schedule. We opted for an early release due to:

• Security fix for the internal cors proxy
• API change of the weather provider smi
• Several bug fixes

Breaking Changes

The cors proxy is now disabled by default. If required, it must be explicitly enabled in the config.js file. See the documentation.

⚠️ Security

You can find several publicly accessible MagicMirror² instances.

This should never be done. Doing so makes your entire configuration, including secrets and API keys, publicly visible. Furthermore, it allows attackers to target the host; this is only prevented beginning with this release.

Public MagicMirror² instances should always run behind a reverse proxy with authentication.

Hi Guys
As a young lad I was an avid traveler and hitched hiked from John O Groats to Lands End at the age of 14 and I have had the travel bug ever since . My children and grandkids have also got the travel bug - my youngest granddaughter is about to embark on a round the world trip with her parents and younger brother. She has already visited 9 countries so far – not bad for a 2 year old.

So I decided to try and make a module that would be helpful to them on their travels and allow me and the wife to share in their adventures from afar.

Where to start – well there was only one place , the innovative MMM-iHaveBeen there by Sebastian Merke. This is the module that first got me hooked on Magic Mirror, and it got me thinking how could I modify it to fit with my four loves, family, flying, football and travel.

After lots of trial and many errors and frequent help from AI assistance I would now like to introduce the result - MMM-iAmGoingThere , a MagicMirror² module designed for travelers and flight enthusiasts to track their current live trips and visualize their past travel history and future planed trips.

https://github.com/gitgitaway/MMM-iAmGoingThere

Core Features:
Live Flight Tracking: Real-time updates via FlightAware AeroAPI, showing live flight paths, and estimated arrival times (ETA).
Dynamic Scenarios: Supports 6 distinct travel modes, including round trips, multi-leg “Round the World” journeys, multi-origin traveler tracking, and a dedicated Football Away Days mode.
Interactive Travel Visualization:
Great-Circle Paths: Smooth, color-coded arcs showing exactly where you’ve been and where you’re going.
Interactive Globe: Auto-rotates to keep active planes in focus on 3D projections.
Manual Mapping: Right-click any country to mark it as “visited” with persistent saving to a local cache.
Travel Companion Tools:
City Guides: Integrated Top 10 attraction lists that automatically update based on your active destination or marker clicks & links to airport terminal maps
Live Weather: Real-time destination weather updates via Open-Meteo.
Countdown Timers: Precision tracking for your next departure.

Currently, my CalendarExt3 module is only applying color to events that are within 48 hours. None of the events on the calendar past 48 hours have any coloring applied to them. I took a read through the pinned CSS guide but I’m not sure how to hunt down the sheet / items I need to change to implement this. I didn’t see anything obvious in the readme to edit this either.

Here is what my calendar looks like right now - only Sams Birthday which is today has color applied

And here is an example from Google where all of the events for the month have color applied to them:

Hello again guys,

In the rather small company I work, we do have this somewhat old school ( but maybe still a lot used in companies? ) calendar to mark peoples vacations, days of sickness, or some other reasons not to be at work with colored paper snippets ^^

So we plan to replace this board with a screen and obviously with a digitized version of it, where everyone related has access to the backend and can enter stuff.
First Ive been thinking of an online sheet like Googles or Excel online, but I had the thought, that there might be a way with a MM module?
Wed also like to use a different part of the screen to display some daily tasks for example, that would be also nice to set up with MM.

Does anybody know of such a calendar like our current analogue version?
Thanks a lot and regards from Germany

I’m not sure what happened but it seems that npm and node are no longer set up on my RPi. The MM seems to run fine but updating (npm install) modules returns “-bash: npm:” command not found".

I did “node -v” and got the same error (only “node” instead of “npm”).

Is there an easy way to get this set up correctly again?

Thanks!

TLDR: Weather module using openmeteo as provider randomly starts throwing the Error: “[openmeteo] Could not find current time in hourly data, using index 0” and then displays wrong Data.

Hello everyone,

since some time I have a problem that my weather Data (especially the Feels Like Temperature) is completely wrong.
The error only comes up sometimes, but I have not figured out a pattern yet, it seems to be random.

I have looked a little bit into it and found that sometimes there is a debug message in my Logs saying: “[openmeteo] Could not find current time in hourly data, using index 0”.

I am guessing that this is the reason for the wrong data, but I have no Idea how to fix this.
I hope some of you are smarter than I am :)

Hi, I have made 2 magic mirrors, one for myself and one for my daughter and we are both avid readers. I was wondering if anyone has made a Goodreads module that shows what you and your friends are currently reading.

Thanks

Hello. I have a CSS question about the Current Temperature text size for the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast module fork from Tom Hirschberger.

About a month ago, Tom Hirschberger updated his fork of the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast module where he added a new “Feels Like” temperature option. According to the documentation, there are three options you can choose; to display only the actual temperature, or only the Feels Like temperature, or both, where the display shows in the format CURRENT (FEELS LIKE). The text size can be adjusted in the CSS file and I have figured that out, but as far as I can tell, it is the same text size for either temperature.

I don’t know enough about CSS to know if I can add something to a custom CSS file to set the text size for one to a different size than the other. Or if the module programming has the two temperatures set such that their sizes can be controlled separately.

I have also tried using two instances of the module, one with just the Current Temperature with all the other weather info suppressed, and then a second instance right below it with the Feels Like temperature along with the other weather info such as the forecast (similar to the default Weather module for displaying current and forecast info). This sort of works, but the two temperature displays are the same text size since I don’t think I can set a different CSS text size for each instance, can I?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
after my mirror run without any issued for a long time, it still stopped working right now, after I did an upgrade from 2.33.0 to 2.35.0 with the upgrade scripts provided by @sdetweil.

I’m running

Linux 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.75-1+rpt1~bookworm (2026-03-11) aarch64 GNU/Linux

on a Raspi 4.
Previous the upgrade, 2.33.0 was running.
I had to switch from X11 to Wayland in raspi-config to avoid these messages

[3525:0421/204946.469269:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:202] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)

[3525:0421/204946.470333:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:246] The platform failed to initialize.  Exiting.

but this error still remains and I do not know how to solve it.

(Use `electron --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created) 

After this and the info about the system the script terminates.

Any help is welcome.

Every attempt shows the below. I am stumped any help is appreciated.

MMM-AFL – Australian Football League Module

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a MagicMirror module to display Australian Football League (AFL) information, originally built for use in office tipping competitions.

Features

• Displays AFL match scores
• Shows fixtures and upcoming games
• Lightweight and easy to configure

Installation

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/jlcloudtea/MMM-AFL.git

Configuration

Add the module to your config/config.js:

{
  module: "MMM-AFL",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    // your config options here
  }
}

Preview

(Add your screenshot here once available)

GitHub

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with the default weather module since the latest update. I’ve already spent some time analyzing the logs and behavior with the help of an AI (Gemini) to pinpoint the cause. Here is what we found:

1. The Issue:
   Most of the time, I just see “Loading…”. The logs show a massive request loop, firing hundreds of requests per minute.
   Key Observation: The weather is often displayed correctly in the morning until early afternoon. After that, it breaks. This strongly suggests that the request loop exhausts the rate limit or triggers an IP ban from Open-Meteo every day.

2. My Environment:

Provider: Open-Meteo (no API key).

Platform: Proxmox LXC Container (Fresh install via helper script).

Network: Pi-hole is running, but Open-Meteo is whitelisted. DNS resolution is fine.

3. Troubleshooting steps taken:

Fresh Install: Completely recreated the LXC container – no change.

Config: Increased updateInterval significantly, but it’s ignored during the loop.

Alternatives: Investigated MMM-OneCallWeather and OWM, but the “Free Plan” doesn’t provide the forecast data I need without a credit card.

It looks like the http_fetcher or the weather node_helper is stuck in a logic loop and ignores the update intervals for Open-Meteo. Any advice on how to fix this?

Hello,
I know there have been a lot of questions about dynamic calendars, but I wanted to ask again based on what I’ve found. From my research, it seems like MagicMirror usually functions only as a display and doesn’t natively support input (even with some third-party modules). Has anyone managed to set up a system where you can add events directly to Google Calendar?

Also, I’m trying to get my weather forecast to display horizontally across the week instead of vertically. I’m currently using the Pirate Sky Forecast module (which I really like), but it only seems to support a vertical layout. Does anyone have suggestions for achieving a horizontal view? I’d prefer to avoid paying for an API key, so I’m open to alternatives that fit that requirement.

I saw that someone had attempted a module for this before, but looks like it no longer exists for use

I built a module that allows you to see all of your online friends, which game they’re playing and if they are in an xbox party chat

Repo found here: https://github.com/iamktothek/MMM-XboxFriends

Would love to hear any feedback or improvements you think could make this more useful

We have been using the MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda module for several years, and we’ve recently noticed that updates made to our Google Calendar are not reflected automatically in the MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda display. The changes do appear after restarting MagicMirror, but not in real time.

I suspect this may be related to the number of entries in the Google Calendar. On a second calendar with only a few entries, updates are reflected immediately, whereas the primary calendar—with several years’ worth of events—does not update as expected.

Is it possible for the MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda module to read only the most recent entries instead of processing the entire Google Calendar?
