@mumblebaj thanks. makin progress…

Thank you for your quick response

Hehey,
New here and just set up a mirrorless version. I would like to have a slide show using images from google photos/drive/blabla and, either depending on which image it is (if (image==“bg_weather.jpg”…), turn on/off modules, or, use some slide show module for 1 loop, and then 10 sec where the slideshow module is off and instead are showing time and weather on some custom background. Pref. fading the modules on/off.

So the end result in either solution would be no modules showing and only image 1 for 10 sec, image 2 for 10 sec, image 3 for 10 sec … and then 10 sec with no image/custom bg and time and weather module showing. And then back to no modules showing and looping through the images again. New here, so perhaps there already is a solution/module…activator(?) out there, but I just haven’t found it yet.

Cheers!

@sdetweil yes and no luck

The best way for me to do it was to use node-red. Fantastic program for us newbies with little coding experience. Highly recommended. I’m running it on the pi that is sending the values to the MM pi. Works great.

Hi Guys,

I’m new to MM and wasn’t too sure where to post this question, please forgive me if it’s in the wrong forum.

I’m building a MM to use as a dashboard/control panel in our kitchen and was inspired by a YT video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzZpRx7Mg1s). The owner is using Android/Dakboard/Fully Kiosk, however I am hoping to use Rpi/MM/Chrome browser (locked down), I’m unable to locate any info regarding using MM as screensaver and when touched defaults to Chrome in locked down mode to my Home Assistant URL and then after a specific time with no activity MM would start again as the screensaver.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction and thanks in advance for any advice.

@differentjacob said in Pool chlorine value in mirror:

I’m having a unit called blueconnect. A little floating things in the pool, this is connected to wifi or bluetooth and saving chlorine, temp values in the cloud. Is there someone here having same solution to the pool or spa. I’m not a developer but realy cool to see in the mirror every morning. Maybe anyone here can develop 😃

@andybriggs03 Hi Andy,
I’ve kinda done this using the calendar to get all premiership fixtures and also MMM-soccer to show the Premier League table.

Next job is to get the club emblem in the background.

BTW, I’m a Leeds Fan. MOT

So basically if u install chromium media edition on your rpi and use Spotify web as the music player and run magic mirror on top of it u might be able to use magic mirror with any Spotify control module to contol playback on the web play.

Please someone develop a module for this

Or just guide me with the first step in creating a module for Spotify

Long time Linux user, still have problems remembering rarely used commands. Thanks N-O-D-E guy! Recommend anyone using this and hoping to master BASH to still create their own scripts (got to do it to learn it!). Create a dir, eg, “my_scripts” and add it to your path. jiofilocalhtml https://forpc.onl/snaptube-for-pc

@Bugsounet Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse et, de manière générale pour l’ensemble des ressources mises à disposition.

It appears to be working now (snuck to the Pi on my lunch break). I left one compliment in the afternoon class of the defaults list in compliments.js and put one into the instance tagged with my name as the class in config.js using the proper formatting. I now see where I went wrong so thanks for the help. I’ll try making multiple instances in config.js with different users tagged in the classes.

Pedro - trust me on this. There is so much satisfaction that comes from the major frustrations you’re sure to encounter in the process of “figuring it out” on your own. I’ve just now signed up to the forum to first thank everyone that helped me through their threads that Google found for me when I was stuck and now, with TWO mirrors running to dig deeper beyond the “already made” stuff. You can do it and you will, like me, learn a whole pile of new stuff that you’ll carry on to many other projects.

I’ve learned about terminal commands in Python, installing stuff through git commands, searching through error code and more. My first mirror was a basic setup which I then searched and experimented with to get localization working for time setting, news relevance, weather etc. I then figured out how to get our own families’ Google calendar events showing and so on. Mirror #2 started out from there and had facial recognition added to it for four members of our household.

There were MANY hiccups along the way but I did it. You can too! Follow the guides that are out there and celebrate each success you have!

I started this with minimal previous knowledge other than how to flash an SD card.

Hey, there are multiple mirror sizes available and I am unsure about whether the size of the monitor and mirror will be “in sync”. I am thinking of buying a 12" x 18" mirror. Advice for what size monitor to get? (Going for a budget mirror)

shorturl.at/ntxIT -> It’s an amazon Link trust me on it

Also, anyone has any examples of what sizes they have used for both the mirror and the monitor?

@sharklaser said in axios request returns no data, while http request does:

:
axios.defaults.headers.common[‘User-Agent’] = ‘PostmanRuntime/7.26.2’;

That was the solution! Thanks!!

This is amazing, thank you so much!

Happy New Year everyone! May 2021 be the year that will bring everything you need in life.

This is driving me insane. I’m running my MM in portrait mode. How do I tell raspbian to open any new window op top of the display instead of position middle?

So when I open terminal the window opens in the middle of the screen and I have to drag it to top to work pleasantly. Same with the file explorer and all the other windows I open new.

Sorry for being a massive n00b. I really can’t find a way to google myself out of this.
Help?

Good info. Thanks again.

I have both MMM-KeyBindings and MMM-TelegramBot installed and working well. Is there a way to have telegram simulate key presses for MMM-KeyBindings to respond to?

My scenario is this : I have MMM-Carousel set up to cycle through two pages but sometimes I want to manually advance the page. The only way MMM-KeyBindings works is when I’m connected to my Rpi using VNC. So that’s not very practical. If I can trigger a virtual keypress via MMM-TelegramBot, that would be awesome.

Has anyone tried this?
