How can I make the effects work, please help how I do to configure it correctly and have the effects depending on how the day is

Re: MMM-DynamicWeather

Greetings 🙂

I’ve stumbled across a little problem before I can finish my project. If I create an event to repeat yearly (birthday), the event won’t show. But if I create the same event without repeat then it’s visible on the calendar.

Anyone got any experience regards repeatedly events not showing into Calendar view (Any view)?

Hi there!
I would like to ask about the problem that I often experience when installing new modules. why when I installing a new module, the old module that has been installed does not work ? it really confused me

Hi there, total newbie at code and all this and was a lock down project.

Got a pi zero and set up and all working however after a couple of days it keeps crashing and either goes back to the ‘something wrong internet page’ or goes back to the desktop with no icons and I need to unplug and plug in and run the commands and works again for the next couple of days.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

All help gratefully received!!

Many thanks

Paul

This is more of a curiosity question than anything, but I was wondering how hard it would be to clone an MM install with dependencies to a new machine with a different OS.

I’m trying out a few Linux distros, as I have a media server that’s currently running Windows 10. Windows is regularly updating, and the updates need more and more computing power. This obviously slows the server down for no benefit to me, so a switch seems to be in order.

I have my existing MM installations running on my main PC through virtualisation, so every time I need to reboot or shut down, my mirrors get shut down too. Again, this obviously isn’t helpful.

I’m thinking of switching to one of the Debian or Ubuntu variants (probably Xubuntu), and cloning my mirrors would be the easiest way to keep my existing setup.

Has anyone done anything like this in the past, or have any thoughts on the process, or the Linux options etc?

While help and advice would be welcome, I’ve put this thread in general discussion so that it can be used for a chat about the ideas, rather than focussing on how to do it.

Let me know what you think 🙂

So I did a direct copy paste of MMM-NewsFeedTicker from a MM where it works flawlessly over to big screen MM where it doesn’t work flawlessly.

If I comment out the NewsFeedTicker in config.js everything is good. Put back in service and it just pops up a black screen that I assume is some alternative terminal, Electron.
The only difference is that the MM that works is running older version of MM as I have not updated it.

Hi!

My mirror crashes every day. It just goes black and works again if I manually quit it (pm2 will then restart it).

I checked the logs by doing

pm2 logs mm

Which gives me:

Any ideas on how I could fix this?

I’m using a monitor in my project that does NOT have HDMI. I’m using an DVI to HDMI adapter to make it work.

Do I have any options for allowing the monitor to go to sleep and then wake up when needed? Note that a PIR sensor does not work because I don’t have HDMI.

Re: MMM-Snowboy
so I installed snowboy and Google assist do you have to have an account with snowboy from what I understand it’s no longer around because every time I start magic mirror it says it’s unreachable
I installed the minimum configuration in the config file
am I missing something here

I had configuration error yesterday and was getting the broken configuration screen and decided to do the config:check line that is displayed and after it ran with no issues but did throw up big message block that said “MAJOR UPDATE AVAILABLE” in big bold text and was wondering about running that update and where it goes.

Greetings 🙂

Been tinkering for a few days now to remove the black color fade from my events.

Been changing a lot of custom.css settings without any luck.
Changing color isn’t the problem but removing the fading effect is. My goal would be to have it with the same opacity as everything else.

Some help or tip in the right direction would be awesome.

Here is my settings so far:

.CX2 .period .eventTitle { white-space:normal; } .CX2 .agenda .eventSub { display:none; } .CX2 .daily .fullday .evenTime { display:none; } .CX2 .slot .event { background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color:white; } .CX2 .slot .slotHeader { background-color:inherit; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:15px; font-family:"Roboto Condensed", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:400; border-bottom:1px solid #666; line-height:15px; padding-bottom:5px; margin-bottom:10px; color:#999; } .CX2 .today .slotHeader * { color:inherit; } .CX2 .event .fullday { background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color:white; } .CX2 .slot .slotFooter { display:none; } .CX2 .slot .slotContent { background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1); } .CX2 .aktiv { background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color:white; } .CX2 .mat { background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1) color:white; } Ellings3n

Hi
I installed the MMM_RadioDe module …
Everything works but the only problem is that the radio does not start automatically.
Here is my code in the config file:
{
module: ‘MMM-RadioDe’,
position: “center”,

config: {
station: “rtu”,
api_key: ‘df04ff67dd3339a6fc19c9b8be164d5b5245ae93’,

}
},
How can I activate the automatic launch?

The installation was completed successfully, but when I activate the module in the config file, I receive the message “loading” only.
Has somebody running this module in the moment?

I’ve hit a wall on getting the hourly forecast to work.
It seems straightforward, instead of /forecast I use forecast/hourly but it just wont go.
I went to weather.gov site and I can find stuff about gridpoints and following their instructions get a result.
The other part and where I am way over my head is I ran across some lines that say something to effect that api.weather.gov/points/forecast/hourly are deprecated where api.weather.gov/points/forecast is not.
I’m stuck

Is there a reference to where tableClass small, medium, large dimensions are located and how can you tweak size of the table in CSS so you can getting sizing correct in relation to modules stacked above or below.
There are a bunch of discrete scripts contained in that module and I searched a few of them to see if I could track down table sizing but no joy.

I have set up the new weather module for both forecast and current. As of right now I’ve gotten the 5 Day forecast to run but it appears that it won’t populate the data until AFTER the “updateInterval = X” times out then it loads data. As a practical matter there is no need to update a 5 day forecast that fast and I had it set for 60 minutes. So after sitting there with “Loading…” for 60 minutes it then loaded the module data.

Is there a way to make module make a retrieve as soon as launched then start counting down, rather than after the interval times down to zero then load first batch of data?

I have initialLoadDisplay = 0 in config file but doesn’t seem to impact initial loading of forecast data.

Hi all,

Kind of new so forgive me if i’ve missed the “answer” if existing already. I’ve google it a couple of time - found references for it but nothing works out so far. My scenario is:
MM running on a Pi4, I’ve got MM Remote Control running of it, and the config is running smoothly except that I want to have https enabled. That being said - what I’ve done:

I moved the .pem files (private and fullchain) over to a local folder on the Pi.

went into config.js and changed / added the following entries:

useHttps: true,
httpsPrivateKey: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/https/privkey.pem”,
httpsCertificate: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/https/fullchain.pem”,

Restart. From that point on: I can access the slideshow / configuraiton over
https://myfakedomain.org:8080 - certificate is validated, is accessible, all good. I can also see configuration coming up when accessing it through the MM RemoteControl module integration. However…

The physical display connected to the PI is pitch black, when trying to out the configuration and does not display what is shown over: https://myfakedomain.org:8080. As soon as i turn of useHttps: true to false, reboot - working again - except the https integration - both on the physical display or the web browser.

Do I have to make additional changes, except the config.js file, to support https configurations? Also tried to find an existing template, example - where some one is using https/ssl but to no success so far.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve had a good look round and a play with the different views.
I’m really wanting a daily view where each day is a column of information, very much like the example for MMM-CalendarExt.
When I use the daily view for MMM-CalendarExt2 it stacks the days on top of each other, see image.

How can I get them to be next to each other?

Is there a way to set the default code editor in Pi OS? A couple come pre-loaded and I use VS Code. I’d like to set that so it isn’t multiple choice each time.
