Greetings,
I am trying to adjust the temperature font on my ds18b20 using the MMM-temp-ds18b20 module I’d like the temperature font to be a size much larger than x-large, roughly 3 times that size. I have the font size of 80px set for ChameleonWeather, and that’s the size I’d like for my indoor temp sensor.
I’m unable to locate using the developers windows, but am unable to drill past because the developers window keeps resetting.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
I have researched the best Raspberry Pi models for the past few days because I want to set up a MagicMirror at home. I read reviews on tech blogs, YouTube channels, and trusted forums, and they are marking these two as the best options:
Vilros Raspberry Pi 5
https://www.amazon.com/Vilros-Raspberry-Starter-Kit-MAX/dp/B0D232HN74
Raspberry Pi 5 8GB
https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-8GB-SC1112-Quad-core/dp/B0CK2FCG1K
However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. I plan to use the MagicMirror for displaying calendar, weather, news, and home automation controls.
So which one should I buy? Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hey Folks
I cant seem to get MMM-Spotify to work at all.
First it started with not being able to generate a user token, as the callback routing always resulted in a unknown URL. So I found an alternate way to generate a token. There is nothing in the logs to tell me that I’m not authorized, but there is also nothing say that I am.
When MM is running, the module does nothing. I’d really like the functionality if I can, but for now I’m just gong to rem the module out of my config and work on setting up others.
I’m new to MM, so lets start by blaming it on that.
Running MM on RPI4B
spotify.config.json
{
“USERNAME”: “Family Account”,
“CLIENT_ID”: “edXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXea”,
“CLIENT_SECRET”: “3eXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXb635”,
“TOKEN”: “./FamilyAccount_token.json”,
“AUTH_DOMAIN”: “http://127.0.0.1”,
“AUTH_PORT”: “8888”
}
]
FamilyAccount_token.json
{
“access_token”: "BQXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXi>
“expires_in”: 3600,
“timestamp”: 1762903217
}
Module config.js
{
module: “MMM-Spotify”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
style: “mini”,
control: “default”,
updateInterval: 1000,
clientID: “ed5XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXcea”,
clientSecret: “3eXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX635”,
accessToken: "BXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXU>
refreshToken: “YOUR_SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN”
}
},
I had enabled HTTPS in the config.js but then the mmpm.ui stopped working and started throwing all kinds of errors:
4|mmpm.ui | OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

I tried setting useHttps: false but that didn’t appear to revert anything. Is there something special that I have to do to disable HTTPS?
These errors seem to be repeating constantly, unsure if they’re related:

I’ve tried several times to install MMM-NOAAForecast and it has failed every time. When I restart MM it shows “Loading” and that is all. I went back in the logs for this last try and found the following:

[2025-11-08 16:30:50.516] [LOG] Initializing new module helper ...
I was using MMM-CONFIG installer to do the install. This is MM on Docker. Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu 24.02.
Just updated MM (wew what a battle to update node on pi4…)
I have the weather module called 3 times, one for current weather, and 2 for weekly forecast for 2 locations.
Both of the weekly forecasts that use “weathergov” are still loading fine, but the section that uses “openweathermap” and type “current” no longer loads properly after the update.
The module title is “undefined” and the rest is like “Invalid date” and “NaN” for the temperature.
Have I missed something?
Re: MMM-CountEvents (2.0.0 - Revamped)
I have been working on integrating this module in order to show a daily countdown for when my kids need to leave the house. It should show the module only between 730am to 8am on weekdays, with 745 being the targetTime.
I initially was trying to set up a function to dynamically change the targetTime to support weekdays only, but I couldn’t get it to update the value for the module except when it was loaded. I seemed to be able to get around that by scheduling a browser refresh every morning using MMM-ModuleScheduler along with MMM-Remote-Control.
The challenge I am having is that the module doesn’t seem to be clearly responding dynamically to the ignoreBefore and ignoreAfter config parameters. I have them set to “15601000”. When 730 rolls around nothing happens. Then I refreshed after a couple minutes and the count events module showed up. Around 16 minutes after 8am the event was still showing, but when I refreshed the browser it went away.
I have the refresh time set to 1000 and show showSeconds is true.
Is this expected behavior? I had anticipated that the event would appear at 730 and disappear at 8 automatically without having to refresh. Am I configuring it wrong somehow (probably). Thank you!
Recently updated MagicMirror and noticed the News Feed Title and Publish date are now running together – there is a space missing after the comma after the Title, so it looks like this:
New York Times,2 hours ago:
when it should look like this (space after the comma):
New York Times, 2 hours ago:
I haven’t noticed this in the older version I was running; Was showPublishDate used to be handled differently (via CSS and/or a div/span) instead of being inline with the showSourceTitle?
Can anyone help with getting the missing space back into this News Feed module output?
How do i use more of the bottom bar ?
Currently i have
moon LARGE SPACE calendar LARGE SPACE current weather (Stacked on) weather forecast
I want to use that space to the right of calendar so i can arrange the screen better. I do not want to stack.

start little ‘advertising’ … (this is what you get when you ask AI to promote your project…)
Stop juggling terminals and fighting file permissions. With MMM-DevContainer you can develop MagicMirror in VS Code using either Docker Compose or Dev Containers — your choice.
Why it’s better:
One workspace for everything: modules, config and css all in one place. No more multiple windows or scattered folders.
Works with Docker Compose and/or VS Code Dev Containers: pick the workflow that fits your setup.
No file-rights hassle: edit and save directly from VS Code without sudo/chmod pain (unlike editing inside a running MM Docker container - if you’ve ever tried that).
Reproducible, clean environment: consistent installs, easy onboarding, and less “it works on my machine.”
Great DX: built-in terminals, IntelliSense, debugging, and Git — all inside the container.
npm install runs automatically on first start, so you can get coding faster.
Get started: https://github.com/HeikoGr/MMM-DevContainer
Quick start
Clone the repo:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/HeikoGr/MMM-DevContainer.git
cd MMM-DevContainer
Add your module:
Create your module inside modules/YourModule (or add it as a Git submodule).
Keep MagicMirror core, your modules, and config together in this single workspace.
Choose your workflow from below:
Option A — Docker Compose
docker compose up --build
Open the app in your browser (e.g., http://localhost:8080)
Stop when done: docker compose down
Option B — VS Code Dev Container
Install VS Code + the “Dev Containers” extension.
Open the MMM-DevContainer folder in VS Code.
Reopen in Container when prompted (or use Command Palette: “Dev Containers: Reopen in Container”).
Notes:
At the moment it’s only testet on linux (or windows with ssh on linux…)
Dependencies: npm install runs automatically on first start (via the devcontainer/compose setup). If your module needs extra dependencies, you can still run npm install inside the container terminal.
All source folders are mounted into the container; edits happen from VS Code without permission issues.
Suggestions and feedback welcome!
Have ideas to improve the setup? Issues and PRs are very welcome.
Tell me what works well for you and what could be smoother.
