@sdetweil said in global variables in config.js: @Sean “24” means not am/pm, and it shows seconds ticking… That is my point. Each value could have a different meaning in different modules. I can’t use MM-level-global-timeFormat in calendar and clock modules which are created by me because that value is too ambiguous and has a meaning only in default calendar/clock modules. But If timeFormat would become the definite global value,(well, frankly it is already) the user will expect it works also in my modules like default module. But I can’t. How about location? Some of the default weather-related-modules are using it like location: "New York", but other Geo-information-related-modules might need another format of value as that kind. If it could not be used really GLOBALLY, how it could become really useful?

@Serge @Sean @lavolp3 cool I found this the other day, maybe it will help your UI https://github.com/Toreke/MMM-Dynamic-Modules allows live dynamically positioning module content

@palula this is a volunteer project, with no dedicated development team… SO… if u can/want to… have at it… if it works and u want to give it back, you can

@sean i sent it

Is there a budgeting module out there? If not, is there a solution using a spreadsheet or something similar to display budget on Magic Mirror?

@Mykle1 nice!

@dragontattoo this is really unrelated to the MagicMirror software… you need a bluetooth device in the hardware, and then connect the bluetooth speaker… same as for your phone. i think the pi has bluetooth see this https://lifehacker.com/everything-you-need-to-set-up-bluetooth-on-the-raspberr-1768482065

I’ve cloned the clock module and tweaked the code to create a custom module.

@j-e-f-f can you share a quick guide to how you did this and the simple module you created? this is exactly what I have been looking for. please and thank you

This is what I followed when I started learning. Short and simple: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1885/github-tutorial/2

I want to use kodi in my mirror with pressing a switch. But walking to the mirror and tilting it, is inconvenient and annoying. I couldnt find a configuration or a module for this pourpose. I am not that good at programming, so if I can change it easily somewhere in the code, I am sorry, I dont know how. Thanks

@aljosie thisis the first link I found on google. Their’s tons of doc if you search . https://www.tomsguide.com/us/connect-google-home-philips-hue,review-4217.html Ejay

@michmich said in Add further npm dependencies to basic MM installation: And how would we select which dependencies we include in MM and which dependencies we don’t? Well that is obviously a case-by-case decision and therefore a bit tricky, I admit. But from these two I’m sure they are valuable to the MM environment. A Google translation API (which tbh needs to be chosen carefully because one on npm is currently not working unfortunately) A Charting tool. So why not use them? It’s “only” a few JS files. However, it’s your decision and I fully respect your point.

@lacaca i don’t think so… you could fork the repo and add support for HTTPS (and how to make it work for others), and submit that back to the project for inclusion in a future release I looked at this for someone else… came to same conclusion you did

@artieikon u can get files from the filesystem without special config settings just setup an express url handler in the node helper. See the MMM-ImagesPhotos module for an example use. Node_helper sets up the express url handler, module does a request to that url, and handler gets invoked, and files are found and their names are returned. The a url request is made for a file and it’s contents are returned. Module doesn’t know helper provided the files list or data

Many thanks got similar great info from discord as never have patience, apols. One last thing as I said because I have done a little script for Pi Zero https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/MagicMirrorPi0StretchLite that has chromium with all the commandline settings need for the above. I said to Mich I was just looking @ Selenium as thinking of doing a Chromium watchdog and he suggest mm_watchdog. Then I barbled on but with hindsight does mm_watchdog also work with standalone chromium? As if so all I have to do is work out why plymouth confuses me so much as to if it will work or not and maybe show on whatever chance that might maybe :) Thanks for a great explanation though. One more question is how do you mark as solved?

@sean said in One-line switch to enable / disable modules: @rudibarani @michael5r Here is my version. No need to list all modules. const pre_disabled = { "UNLISTED": true, // default value for unlisted other modules. "alert":false, "clock": false, "MMM-Remote-Control":false, } var DISABLED = new Proxy(pre_disabled, { get (receiver, name) { return name in receiver ? receiver[name] : receiver["UNLISTED"] } }) Lovely :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

You say: just finished a Magic Mirror2 module that lets you display content…!! just let me know about it?? And where is it? Git hub?

@seedhe If I remember correctly, the Twitter API changed and the module did not keep up.
