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.

Hello,
I’m using a 27" Samsung monitor in portrait mode with a Raspberry Pi 4 to replace our monthly paper calendar.

I wants it to resemble a skylight calendar rather than a mirror.

I’ve got the Raspberry Pi OS and MM2 up and running, and vdirsyncer is successfully syncing our shared iCloud calendar. However, I’m encountering a parsing error with the .ics file while trying to use MMM-CalendarExt2 to display an upcoming list in the top left and a monthly view in the center.

I’m also having trouble getting bomweather to work for displaying the weather in Australia.

Should I consider using CalendarExt3 instead?

Any suggestions for implementing a light-mode color scheme? Will I need to edit the .css files to achieve this?

Calendar module shows day name only for calendar entries which are not all day items.

How then do I get calendar module to show day name for all entries, regardless of whether they are all-day thing (e.g., birthdays, no day name shown) or meetings (09:00 - 10:00, day name shown) ?

Current workaround is to change all-day items in my g/calendar to 00:00 - 23:59 , which is messy, clumsy and really not a solution!

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a small project I just finished: a Magic Mirror with a fully laser-cut wooden frame.

The goal was simple: instead of buying a frame, I wanted to design and cut the entire structure using a small laser cutter.

The mirror itself is 620 × 375 mm, and the frame is made from 3 mm plywood sheets (210 × 145 mm) cut with a 10W diode laser.

In total the frame required:

• ~56 laser-cut parts
• 10 cutting sheets
• 3 mm plywood
• finger-joint assembly
• rabbet for the mirror
• 2 backing layers

For a 10W laser, cutting all the pieces for a frame this size actually worked surprisingly well. I honestly didn’t expect it to work that cleanly.

The mirror runs on:

• Raspberry Pi 5
• HDMI monitor (USB pow ered)
• standard MagicMirror modules (clock, weather, news)

More info https://www.framistik.com/showcase

For a first build I’m really happy with the result.

If anyone is interested in the frame generator, I’m happy to share it.
https://www.framistik.com

And of course if people have ideas to improve the frame design, I’d love the feedback.

Thanks!

hi guys,i use MMM-HTMLSnippet module to display 6 cameras of my home.I renamed the modules from MMM-HTMLSnippet1 to MMM-HTMLSnippet6.I use custom css to arrange cameras correctly and all my 6 cams working just fine.Yesterday i got a seventh one to use as a bird camera watching my bird feeder at my yard.I renamed everything as it should and put it at top_left .The issue is that after adding the seventh cam only six cams is showing at once.The first six that loading after restarting magicmirror.I cant understand it.My magicmirror is running at a rpi4 2gig ram.Is there a limit of how much of the same module a can run simultaneously?

We are getting closer to losing support for 32 bit os runtimes for MagicMirror. (armv7l, arm32)

The next release of electron ships w node 24 , but will use node 22 if it is installed.

What we don’t know is if the electron rebuild process works

If you have/know of modules that need electron rebuild when running with electron

Let us know. Used to be buttons and other gpio connected modules.

We are not ready for you to test yet

Hi,

I’m trying to restart my mirror nightly with “pm2 restart mm” using a cron job. I’ve tried everything I can think of or find online but nothing works. I’ve created python and bash scripts, used the system crontab and the user crontab. I’ve tried it with and without “sudo” and also running it under the “pi” user. It always works interactively at the command line but not via crontab. Any suggestions?

Also, I saw the warning post about the April 1st upgrade and Pi Zero W. Does that also apply to the Zero 2W?

Breaking changes in upcoming April release,
We’ve structurally reorganized the system to strictly separate user data from repository data.

The modules folder now contains only user data in the form of third-party modules. The standard modules included with MagicMirror² have been moved to a separate directory, defaultmodules.,

The css folder now contains only data belonging to the MagicMirror repository.

The previously located custom.css file has been moved to the config folder. This happens automatically the first time you start the new version of MagicMirror². The installer and upgrade scripts will do this too

The way config.js is loaded has changed. This should not affect standard users. However, it may have side effects for third-party modules. The client (browser) no longer loads config.js directly from the file system but via the web server (/config).,

Support for config.js.template files has been removed. we will not generate the final config.js like we do today.

Instead, config.js now supports curly braced bash variables. and the .env file remains the same

Users who previously used a template must copy its contents into config.js once

If MagicMirror² is running as an Electron application:

We’ve changed the default window manager in the startup script from X11 to Wayland. Most Raspberry Pi OS users are likely now using trixie or bookworm, which already ship with Wayland as the default. Running node --run start is now equivalent to node --run start:wayland. Users still using X11 must now switch to node --run start:x11.

The kioskmode, which has been marked as deprecated for 10 years, has been removed. If the kiosksmode parameter is set in config.js, it can be removed; it is now ineffective. You may need to adjust electronOptions parameters if you used kiosksmode before.

If you think any modules you’ve developed may be impacted, you can use the develop branch to test . see this topic about how to get the develop branch if you need to do that
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/86422

also if you test as a user and find any issues

please use this topic for any issues you find…

Also,

there are substantial changes to the Calendar module to finally cleanup all the date, timezone, and Daylight savings problems. this removes the use of the moment js library

a complete rewrite of the weather module, to move data acquisition into the node_helper and share that data between module instances (current/forecast for example) … this will help reduce the number of api calls the module makes when there are multiple instances.

Using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow for a while now and trying to tweak the imageInfo box to remove the header.

Current header: PICTURE INFO
I’d like to remove it entirely.

My module config is below:

	{
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
			position: 'fullscreen_below',
			config: {
  				imagePaths: ['/mnt/nas/'],
			recursiveSubDirectories: true,
			transitionImages: false,
  				randomizeImageOrder: true,
			showImageInfo:	true,				
			imageInfoLocation: "bottomRight",
			**imageInfoTitle: "Photo Details",	//fails to change header**
			imageInfo: "date",
			showProgressBar: false,
			imageInfoNoFileExt: true,
			showAllImagesBeforeRestart: true,
			slideshowSpeed: 600000
				}
	},

Note: the bold line (imageInfoTitle) was my attempt to change it to see if that worked but it didn’t.

Bonus points for any way to have the photo date display without the timestamp

Thanks

anyone facing issue with the api not updating?
in my mirror it is showing next api update is on 21 march 2026. current image showing epl data stats from late jan, meaning the recent matches data is not shown. like the games for yesterday is invisible as well.

Not sure if everyone already knows this… but I just figured out that if you add

.MMM-GoogleSheets table {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

.MMM-GoogleSheets td,
.MMM-GoogleSheets th {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  color: white !important;
  border: none !important;
}

to your custom.css, the background becomes transparent!
(nice if you use, eg, https://github.com/parnic/MMM-Unsplash for a nicer background)

Thought I’d share this just for the fun of it.
Best,
Karl

Where do the modules go for the MagicMirror OS? I’ve install MM OS and I cannot figure out where they are supposed to go.

Thanks
Bill

Good morning
My mirror has been pretty stable since my last post which is great. I have three pages, one is my main with calendar, weather etc and the last one has iFrame with my Home Assistant on it.
Yesterday I decided to do some updates, I finally updated Magic Mirror itself, MMM-CalendarExt3, MMM-page-indicator and MMM-Remote-Control. The latter was a pain and took a bit of time as had some messages about different branches, but it is now showing as up to date.

My problem is that although the page indicator looks the same, the “Home” button is pulsing to show it is the focus page, however, I cannot switch pages. I’ve checked documentation to see if I needed to make any changes to the config file, but it looks like no changes to that are needed.

I have set it up using classes.
I’m about to head to work, but was hoping someone might either know a quick fix or what to check in logs etc that might point me in the right direction. I have a touch screen and that is still working as if I click on an event on the google calendar, the event pops up. Unfortunately this means I cannot access Home Assistant through my MM which is really frustrating!
