The module embeds the whole dashboard in one iframe rather than one iframe per panel. Each iframe runs its own copy of the Grafana app, so a single frame is much lighter on a Raspberry Pi.

It shows live GPU/CPU usage &amp; power, unified memory, the Ollama models currently resident (with VRAM), and Hermes status.
[image: MMM-OllamaHostMonitor]
Why a companion agent + MQTT? macOS doesn’t expose GPU/memory over HTTP, and hermes-agent has no metrics endpoint. So a tiny collector runs on the Mac (using the sudoless macmon, the Ollama REST API, and process inspection) and publishes retained JSON to your MQTT broker. The module just subscribes — it’s push-based, needs no inbound ports on the Mac, and populates instantly on boot. If the Mac/agent stops, an MQTT Last-Will greys the card out.
Features

GPU &amp; CPU utilization (bars) + power draw, unified memory, swap, GPU/CPU temps
Ollama: up/down, version, each resident model + VRAM, installed-model count
Hermes: up/down, configured model, CPU%/RSS
Native MM look: standard module header, theme color variables, relative sizing so it scales with your font size and drops into any region
i18n-ready (getTranslations), requiresVersion set, smooth non-flashing updates
Bonus: built-in Home Assistant MQTT discovery — flip one config flag and every metric auto-registers as an HA entity under one device (loaded models exposed as attributes)

Requirements

An MQTT broker reachable by both the Mac and the mirror (e.g. the Mosquitto add-on many of us already run for Home Assistant)
macOS host with brew install macmon; Ollama on :11434

Install (module side)
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/coreycaverly/MMM-OllamaHostMonitor
cd MMM-OllamaHostMonitor &amp;&amp; npm install
{
  module: "MMM-OllamaHostMonitor",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    mqttServer: "homeassistant.local",
    topicPrefix: "ollama-host/metrics",
    title: "Mac Studio"
  }
}
The Mac-side collector (setup, launchd service, config) is in the repo's agent/ folder with its own README.

Repo: https://github.com/coreycaverly/MMM-OllamaHostMonitor

Feedback welcome — happy to generalize beyond Macs if there's interest.

I wrote a small module that displays near-real-time Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite imagery on MagicMirror².
The images are retrieved directly from the official EUMETView WMS service and automatically processed into a transparent full-disk image, so they can be placed nicely on any MagicMirror layout.
Screenshot
[image: screenshot]
Features

Near-real-time MTG satellite imagery
Multiple official EUMETView products
Automatic updates
Transparent Earth disk for seamless integration
Configurable image size and source-image resolution
Optional source, product and timestamp caption

The module is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/FHFH2025/MMM-Meteosat
Installation, configuration and available products are described in the README.
This is my first MagicMirror² module, so there is certainly room for improvement. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, please let me know. Feedback, bug reports and pull requests are always appreciated.

Perhaps this works better :-)

This module queries the DTU via the local network at regular intervals and visualizes the current power, daily energy, and total energy values on your MagicMirror.
