  @daegon-jjiya the installation was successful. From the software side you don’t have any errors yet (only “warnings” from npm that can be ignored for now). Flickering screen sounds like a hardware problem. How is your monitor connected? Run DISPLAY=:0 npm start as described and let us know what happens. If it’s only a black screen after a minute or so run npm start dev and let us know if there are errors coming up in your console.

  @Bruno said in Halloween mirror ghouls anyone?: Nice!!! I’ll give it a try. It’s nice that I can define width and height!!! Thanks!! You’re welcome, mate. If you are still wanting to create your own module, feel free to take whatever you find useful from the module and use it in your own.

  I’m thinking about a solution for secure passwords in modules. Expl. default calendar module and 100 others also need password and I have to write it in plain text in config.js Is there a way to get this in a secure way?

  Hi all, Found MM and think it’s the bee’s knees… Have not been able to stopping thinking about how to use it Looked at some of the bin collections modules and they are brilliant but I didn’t want to use CSV files. So I came up with a way to reuse the calendar module. Create a bin collection calendar in Google Calendar and then adding recurring entries for collections, for me it’s every two weeks on a Monday: Moved any individual dates that clashed with Public Holidays (Easter Monday) etc and then added a new entry in config.js { module: "calendar", header: "Bin Collection", position: "bottom_left", config: { maximumEntries: 3, // as I only have 3 bins fetchInterval: 3600000, // update every hour timeFormat: "dateheaders", // group by date maximumNumberOfDays: 14, // it's a two week cycle for me fade: false, // no fade please calendars: [ { symbol: "trash", // trash icon :) url: "webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics" // update this to point to your bin calendar } ] } }, and now the below is exactly what I need: Hope this is of use to someone Carl

  @FruityBebbles the voice based modules have a heck of a time… lots of tricky dependencies (which keep changing out from under the module as time goes by)

  @Tomexx that looks ok… but your words above are confusing… What I couldn’t figure out is how to install MMM-WeatherForecast or MMM-Wallpaper. After installing both of them, they never appear, not even trying to load. they ARE in the modules folder, yes? standard rules, ALL modules get installed in the modules folder generally they come from github so the download process is cd MagicMirror/modules git clone ????? where ??? is the url provided by the github repo for the module. you find the module repo (google, or whatever), then push ‘clone or download’, and push the button (looks like clipboard with and arrow pointing to it) to get the proper clone url string, then paste that string after the words git clone, and hit enter then follow the instrucitons for the module to complete its installation and config some modules need you to run npm install to get other code they depend on installed. neither of these do

  Magic Mirror + GassistPI and more

  Hello all First post on here, apologies if it’s in the wrong place. I’ve been playing with MM for about a week now, got the basics up and running, but need some help with the long term goal/ideas. I already had a GassistPi running with the GoogleAIY V1 Hat, I also have a genuine Alexa. The GasisstPi had a large 20 x 4 LCD display attached to it and I initially had the thought that with the addition of an MCP23017 I2C multiplexer, I could add some buttons to call various scripts and the info could be displayed on the LCD. Examples of the scripts I needed were: Bus arrivals at 5 local bus stops. Arrivals at my local rail station. TfL Tube status. Webscraping of DHT sensors or similar running on a Nodemcu but still on the same network. Possible logging of these. A couple of Internet radio stations start/stop. Volume up/down Did make a cool laser cut case but didn’t get as far as doing anything with the buttons, have coded MCP23107’s before on Arduino, confident of being able to do it on the Pi and also willing. Bus scripts were done for all 5 stops, but it is in Python 2 which as you will know is near end of life. Train arrivals was done in Python 3, but only one way, not a major issue as I only really need to know what they’re doing in the morning. Tube status – didn’t look into it. DHT sensors – didn’t look into it. I then found a URL for train departures which loads super quick, just what I need in the morning: http://realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/ldbcis/departures.aspx?u=039B1CD1-14D4-4CB9-83B1-A84CC3AEDF83&crs=HHY&H=6000 changing the code HHY to other station codes will give info about that station. Brilliant! But obviously, this will be better on a screen rather than an LCD character display. Some kind person then gave me a 7” HDMI touchscreen. I then discovered MagicMirror. So I can load up the Tube status via a webpage (https://unop.uk/tube/) using the smart web display module and also the national rail link above, but I need them to go to the top of the page, not below the news feed which is at the top centre and still visible. Nor do I want the weather which is top right to be visible through the station departures web page. How can this be achieved please? Should at this point say, GassistPi and MagicMirror will be/are running on the same Pi Longer term, I’d like GassistPi, Alexa and the buttons to display an individual module only when requested and for about 30 seconds before they disappear and the screen turns off. Apart from the web radio which will be an on/off thing. An infra red remote control option doing the same thing would be handy too. Anyone have any thoughts on this? My boss then challenged me to build something “funky and Linuxy” for the office. We’ve got plenty of screens around, so MagicMirror is in the running, but it may not be a mirror, more like an info board. What would be needed for the office is a clock for most of the time, some news feed maybe, weather, Tube and National rail info at home time only and some photos, probably our company values. Plus all of this only visible when someone is there, so PIR module would be installed, that’s a minor issue. Again, with some buttons, each module is displayed for a period of time as someone may leave at some random point in the day and need to know when the next train is. I appreciate this is a long first post, but any help or pointers would be good. Thanks in advance

  I have a HS student in my creative CS course that is going to make a magic mirror. We are a K-12 school, and I would love for him to create a mirror that will do one or two things when a student walks up to it: 1 - Creates some fun images that would overlay on their face - moustache, glasses, etc. 2 - Shows a random inspiring message I think the module I would need could essentially choose from a random set of PNG images that would take up the entire screen. I suspect I would just need an ultrasonic or proximity sensor as part of the frame. Thanks!

  @geo clock takes time from system config. You can change am/pm or 24 hour in the config.js every module has a config: { … } section in its definition in config.js each is different, and u need to look at the README.md for each module to determine what settings you need to provide, for it to operate as you wish… some are easy, some are very detailed…
