Hello All,
I am new to MM2.
I have done my fair share of configuration of MM. I am unable to understand how to make two modules communicate with each other.

For eg:
I want to connect MMM-WeatherOrNot with MMM-Snow
just FYI, MMM-Snow is a module that puts snow flakes if the config is set to Snow with other configurable options being Water or Heart.

If I want to pass on the information from Weather module to change the parameter to different valuew, how should I do.

Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

I have many other use cases to make the magic mirror more magical(or smart I should say) for eg my BMW module shows the fuel left. I have integraed with an external API to extract the pertrol prices and I want my mirror to show the nearby Petrol Station with the fuel prices only when the leftover fuel reaches a defined minimum threshold.

Thanks in Advance.

@Fozi Thanks!

@Stormanzo Hey mate, used one way mirror glass from Viridian glass! Heavy though, was like 8mm thick, couldn’t find any thinner in Australia

@Bolovai good to know it’s not just my config. Would be great if it stayed current when you use fixed in MMM-pages too… But it looks great… So small complaints 😂

@SiDuMo Thank you! I’ve been struggling to get my calendar looking the way I want, so the config helps.

Very post ! Can you please share with MM modules you have used ?

First of all - thank you to everyone who created and contributed to this project and to this forum and the various support threads on GitHub. I have a long standing hit-or-miss result when I dabble with this kind of stuff. MagicMirror has been a solid HIT! I found everything so well documented that most of the common issues I ran into had been discussed and solved before.

I’ve got two SD cards runnable. I did the first setup over the holidays and stuck with the basics. Time, weather for my location, compliments (that’s a nice touch - I really like that part of this project). I was able to set up several of our local news RSS feeds (only to find out that they all really have the same headlines so I cut back how many feeds I was pulling from). I couldn’t resist the Dad Jokes module and have had many good chuckles thanks to that one already.

I then made a second SD, starting from scratch rather than cloning the first…good opportunity to learn deeper. Once I had it at par with the first I proceeded to get MMM-Face-Reco-DNN functioning, identifying four of us in this household and adjusting the mirror accordingly.

I’ve JUST got my shop tidied enough that I can get my table saw out to make the frame for the screen and mirror so will post photos of that process. The glass measures about 18” x 25” (vertical) and I used one way mirror film direct from the Amazon with pretty decent success. The cost of the glass and film was less that $30 combined. A true mirror would have cost me $130 locally.

I found the screen through Kijiji - a 24” Samsung T240. It wasn’t until I got home that I discovered it was a hybrid HDTV/Display. That’s not ideal actually. It means more weight to the build because of all the TV related stuff. However it may prove valuable down the road in terms of added functionality I may get from having a reversion tuner built into the screen. We’ll see about that. One day. One other downside is the lack of a power brick. This weight again is built into the screen. And it also means a pretty thick cord going up the wall to the mirror. But not deal breakers. I’m super pumped to hang this up and enjoy it.

So thanks again for all the help you all didn’t even know you were providing me. I look forward to making more and more of this Magic Mirror. Pics to follow (once I learn more about how this forum works).

My concern is accessibility for service. Is there access somewhere? Maybe a side profile picture?

@Dropzone1969 Great looking MM, do you mind sharing the config portion of calendar ext2? I can’t seem to get mind working properly.

@lucas781 Looks sick man!!! Are you able to share your config file for just the calendar ext2? I’m a noob and can’t get that module working on mine.

@pieguy said in my no mirror mirror:

wish i could make even one …

Wishing won’t get it done. However, reading and asking questions goes a long way. I was you (so to speak) 4 years ago. I found this site and all I wanted to do was make a module. I had no prior coding experience at all and learning this stuff at my age was a challenge. Proof that it can be done.

If you are enthusiastic enough and willing to work at it, you will be able to code some modules. I asked for help in the beginning. I still ask for help. I write the simplest of modules. When I get in past my safety zone I reach out to a few friends here on the forum. Thankfully, they have been kind and generous with their help.

So, if you have questions, ask! If I can help you, I will. That’s how I pay back the kindness shown to me.

Peace

@JerryP , hi, the module is MMM-rain-forecast

update successful

@sdetweil can you share what you did? I am also doing a 4k setup and love it, but trying to figure out some font sizes

@monkeyking said in Big landscape mirror with two displays:

upgrade my smart mirr

thanks i’ll check it out

@lucallmon Try with some candies first :)

Hah I bought 5x of these monitors for work. They shipped me 6…Thinking about using the spare one to do this exact this. (At 80$ A piece on sale couldn’t beat it)

o.k. danke dir…

und das ist SCHWARZFOLIE keine Spiegelfolie???
