I am working to get the MMM-GooglePhotos module working on my first MM project. I have noticed that I get odd refreshes of the images sometimes. An image may be displayed for 10-15 seconds, or 1-2 seconds before the next image is displayed. No rhyme. No reason.

I figured it was something I was doing wrong, but then over the weekend I installed the MMM-NFL module. Love it. Real time game updates across all divisions? Awesome. But then…I realized that my photos were no longer showing up because I hit my API peak. Huh? How?

Tonight, I experimented and removed the MMM-NFL module. My photos now refresh about every 30 seconds. My refreshInterval is set to 1000 * 60, so I thought this should be every 60 seconds, but at least I am at a consistent refresh rate.

My hypothesis is that when an NFL game is going on, the MMM-NFL module is updating like crazy, and that is triggering notifications causing other modules to fire and refresh.

As I mentioned above, this is my first foray into MM, so I may be off base…but…am I?

I have mm updated and working with ‘clock’, ‘current weather’, ‘weather forecast’, and ‘calendar’ all functional. Attempting to ‘dress it up’ with font and color changes. I’ve reviewed much of the CSS tutorial, and have been focusing on changes to ‘clock’ by changing items in custom.css as a learning. So far I’m failing miserably in attempts to change font size and color. Changes to custom.css seem to result in random changes to my display. And, have been unable to change color. My assumption is that I am misnaming ‘class’ and or ‘element’ items. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

I have been running MM on a raspberry Pi with a monitor attached to the HDMI port. No problem. The raspi is also running an Apache web server. I no longer need the pages that Apache is serving, but would like to see the MM as a web page in addition to the attached display. How do I do this? Does MM use Apache and if so how do I configure that? I tried shutting down Apache service thinking MM has a built in web server, but no luck. Can MM do both… display monitor and web service? How do I config this?

Hi all, need help changing the date format here please.
I’m running mmm calendarext3 ( with the default calendar hidden) and ext3agenda (with the default calendar showing holiday).

My date is currently November 30. Am trying to get it to show 30 November across the board.

I have tried changing time format to absolute and changing date format to desire but nothing works.
Next tried changing the locale to say FR, the date format changed but it’s in French.

Any ideas?

Please give me ideas on how I can turn my system on and off without doing too much do you use motion sensing or what are simpler ways that I can make sure that the system is not continuously running and am able to turn it off each night. Thank you!

Morning All.

total novice here however i have managed to get my MM working with quite a few modules on it.

I was looking to add MMM-Remote -Control however seems to be above my pay grade as can’t even get the config to fire after adding this. when i remove it is working fine.

When i run the config checker i get the below -
Line 134 col 17 Unexpected ‘‘’.
Line 135 col 19 Unexpected ‘‘’.
Line 138 col 21 Unexpected ‘“’.
Line 140 col 17 Unexpected ‘“’.
Line 135 col 17 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 133 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 136 col 9 Expected ‘]’ to match ‘[’ from line 28 and instead saw ‘config’.
Line 136 col 15 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 11 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 136 col 16 Missing semicolon.
Line 137 col 26 Expected an identifier and instead saw ‘,’.
Line 137 col 26 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 137 col 27 Missing semicolon.
Line 139 col 9 Label ‘customMenu’ on showModuleApiMenu statement.
Line 139 col 9 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 139 col 26 Missing semicolon.
Line 139 col 26 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 136 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 140 col 9 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 140 col 15 Missing semicolon.
Line 140 col 9 Unrecoverable syntax error. (82% scanned).

The config for the module looks like this -

{
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
position: “bottom_left”,
config: {
customCommand: {}, // Optional, See “Using Custom Commands” below
customMenu: “custom_menu.json”, // Optional, See “Custom Menu Items” below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: “”, // Optional, See API/README.md for details
}
},

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance

I can’t seem to make the color formatting work for the dates shown on MMM-CalendarExt3 and MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda to make all of my dates be white in lieu of ‘gold’, ‘blue’, and ‘red’. I tried the changes below in my custom.css, but it has not worked no matter how many times I have messed with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.CX3A .cellheader .cellHeaderMain .cellDate {
color: white;
}

Hi,

I found an old R-Pi 1b I had laying around, and thought it might be neat to play with a MM setup. However, after checking around online, it sounds like this unit might not be able to run MagicMirror due to Software limitations. Can anyone confirm that?

If that’s the case, what is the oldest/cheapest Pi that I can use to run MM without any issues? This is just for playing around so I don’t want to go buy a brand new Pi. Can I use a Pi 2 or 3? Any reason to go newer vs older?

Thanks!

When the presetted interval is up, the MMM-ioBroker fadesOut and then fades in the actual content of the datapoint. How to switch off this behavior ?

Nach Ablauf des voreingestellten Intervalls verschwindet der Text des MMM-ioBroker langsam vom Bildschirm und erscheint dann langsamm mit den aktuellen Daten des DP zurück. Wie kann man dieses Verhalten abschalten ?

Ich greife im MMM-ioBroker auf einen DP zu, der Text mit Zeilenumbruch (\n) enthält. Kopiere ich diesen Text aus dem DP und füge ihn in Notepad++ ein, wird der Zeilenumbruch auch dargestellt (er ist also wirklich vorhanden!)

Wie könnte mit das Modul dazu bewegen, diesen auch darzustellen, also dn Text auf dem Mirror mhrtzeilig auszugeben?

Cross posting as I’ve opened this as an issue on the git repo for this but I’m curious if anyone else has figured out a way to get this to work.

I installed ToDosit module today and have been struggling to get it to work. I’ve been reading ToDoist’s API documentation and I see a few things that are not up to date per their documentation.
In the MMM-ToDoist.js currently the defined API call is
apiVersion: “v9”, apiBase: “https://todoist.com/API”, todoistEndpoint: “sync”,

But when you go to ToDoist site https://developer.todoist.com/sync/v9/#summary-of-contents

The url they have documented is https://api.todoist.com/sync/v9/sync

I’ve modified the apiBase to use the new url but that still sits and loads… Looking further into the documentation I think the header needs to be `application/json’ and if this is strictly to pull projects the read API url is https://api.todoist.com/sync/v9/projects/get_data where you only need to pass an API key and project ID.

I’m thinking that the node_helper needs to to make a read request and not a post but I’m not entirely sure because the post might be to pull the access token. Unfortunately I can’t seem to figure it out and I’m curious if any else has modified the node_helper or the MMM-Todoist.js to get this to work for them.

Ist es möglich vom MMM.ioBroker Modul mehrere Instanzen anzulegen. Wenn ja, wie ?
Ich möchte verschiedene Infos an verschiedenen Orten auf dem screen darstellen.

Hello everybody,
I just set up my MM software on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. You might ask why such an old device in 2023… well there are several reasons for that:
1st I just had some laying around from past projects and 2nd ( and most important ) the low power draw of the Zero W was just perfect to power it off a USB connection on my monitor, so I did not have to fiddle around with buck converters to power the pi.

I ran into several problems while installing it, and I just want to share the solutions I found for them.

¿RaspberryOS light or full?
Well, the easiest way is to opt for a full flegded OS, but since the Zero W has so limited capability, I opted for a Light install. So I had to adapt my installation mixing several ( outdated ) installation tutorials I found. In the end, I installed Xorg and openbox manually and start them from my .profile with autologin. After that, I start the browser from whithin my /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart

Which lightweight browser can I use on the Zero W?
The quick and easy answer is none. Chromium is not supported anymore on the Zero W ( legacy build is an option though, but segfaults frequently due to the limited amount of ram ); Midory works ok, but I was not able to remove the direction bar from the top, so that did not work either. So in the end, I opted to write a simple “browser” myself with Python Webkit2 bindings. I had to install de following software:
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev python3-gi

After that, the following file did the trick:

¡The boot process is ugly!
Yes it is and I installed plymouth to make it more attractive. In the end it doen’t actually matter and it even delays de boot for a few seconds, but I like it!
I installed the plymouth spinfinity theme and made it all black. After that I added splash quiet to the /boot/cmdline.txt file and that was it.

I hope that this helps a few fellow tinkerers who wish to repurpose their old Zeros.

Best regards
Merlin

Not sure where to post this at or if there’s a forum for it but I need help… so I have hand gestures setup to control my pages. If I swipe left it goes back a page, swipe right it goes ip a page… but I want to integrate it into Spotify to play, pause, and change tracks by hand gestures. If anybody could help I’d greatly appreciate it.

hi all

my mmm google photo is not showing anything in the magicmirror.

this is the error code -
[26.11.2023 01:38.28.391] [ERROR] [GPHOTOS:CORE] response.data:
{“error”:{“code”:429,“message”:“Quota exceeded for quota metric ‘All requests’ and limit ‘All requests per day’ of service ‘photoslibrary.googleapis.com’ for consumer ‘project_number:524777145159’.”,“status”:“RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED”,“details”:[{“@type”:“type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",“reason”:“RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED”,“domain”:“googleapis.com”,“metadata”:{“quota_location”:“global”,“quota_limit_value”:“10000”,“quota_limit”:“ApiCallsPerProjectPerDay”,“consumer”:“projects/524777145159”,“service”:“photoslibrary.googleapis.com”,“quota_metric”:“photoslibrary.googleapis.com/all_requests”}},{“@type”:“type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.Help”,“links”:[{“description”:"Request a higher quota limit.”,“url”:“https://cloud.google.com/docs/quota#requesting_higher_quota”}]}]}}

seems like a quota thing? what do i need to do fix this?

Hello,

I’m a complete newbie and just started exploring the Magic Mirror setup. I’m trying to set up a weekly calendar and came across the MMM-MonthlyCalendar module. I’m lost as to how to add my Google calendar to this module. I dont see any detailed information in the docs on how to configure the module or where to place the iCal url. Any help or a snippet of your config for this module is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,
My monitor is showing me strange things for the second time. The first time at the beginning of the week, restarting didn’t help. Since my monitor restarts every day at 5 a.m., I no longer had the problem the next day, but the next day it was back.
I can’t explain why it is, does anyone of you know the problem or the solution?

Some modules are duplicated, sometimes the monthly calendar, sometimes the Google calendar or even the Netatmo and weather module

Hi All,

Newbie here having an issue with new installs where everything works perfectly following the official installation instructions (https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html) until I implement PM2.

I am using Bookworm 64bit desktop on a 3A+ with a 32gb SD. Running “npm run start” launches Magic Mirror on the desktop and all is good.

But as soon as I try to autostart (https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/autostart.html#using-pm2) when it launches, it is actually launching an empty black Electron app on the desktop. If I close that app then the Magic Mirror 2 app launches and runs fine. It’s completely weird. I have run through this from scratch 3 times and the same issue each time.

Any help is much appreciated.

Anthony
