    @OrangeMirror the current docker setup will only work for multiple instances IF you use the MM_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to run instances off different config files, or the MM_PORT env variable to override the port if using the same config.js all the files will come from the ONE folder tree ~/magicmirror so this means you would have to setup multiple entries in the compose.yaml to launch multiple instances (with the different config parms) You have to change the container name too this is because all the DATA used by the container is external (on docker host filesystem) and not IN the container an example NOT using docker, but same idea here https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#advanced-configuration-and-frequently-asked-how-to-configure-examples

    Hi guys, thanks for the great guide @sean. I am currently using it with MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation and it works fine. I am struggling to execute a command for another project. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/123787-raspberry-pi-powered-surveillance-camera-monitoring-display The command is /etc/init.d/displaycameras {start|stop|repair}. How can I execute the command via webhook? I would be delighted to hear from you. With kind regards mopedmann

    @BigDanT Hi, you need another module to get it work: MMM-ProfileSwitcher The idea is to define a “normal” class to which all modules do belong that will be displayed if motion is detected. The Slideshow will be in class “slideshow”. The Screensave module is configured to not shutoff the monitor but change to the “slideshow” profile. If SCREEN_ON is triggered the Screensave module will change back to the profile that was used before the screensave (in our case “nomal”). I updated the config example to do the job (but i could not test it at the moment): var config = { address: '0.0.0.0', electronOptions: {}, ipWhitelist: [], modules: [ //Screen on & off timer{ { module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler', config: { notification_schedule: [ // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 07:30 EVERY DAY { notification: 'SCREEN_ON', schedule: '00 07 * * *', payload: { 'forced': true } }, // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 22:30 EVERY DAY { notification: 'SCREEN_OFF', schedule: '30 22 * * *', payload: { 'forced': true } }, ] } }, { module: 'alert', config: {}, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'updatenotification', position: 'top_bar', config: { ignoreModules: [] }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'clock', position: 'top_left', config: {}, classes: 'normal' }, // top Right Calenar { module: 'calendar', header: 'Family Calendar', position: 'top_left', config: { calendars: [{ symbol: 'calendar-check', url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxx.ics', } ], }, classes: 'normal' }, // Weather Section { module: 'currentweather', position: 'top_right', config: { location: 'UK', locationID: 'xxx', appid: 'xxx', }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'weatherforecast', position: 'top_right', header: 'Weather Forecast', config: { location: 'false', locationID: 'xxx', appid: 'xxx', }, classes: 'normal' }, //Screencast { module: 'MMM-Screencast', position: 'bottom_right', config: { position: 'center', height: 600, width: 800, castName: 'MagicMirror', }, classes: 'normal' }, //PLex Slideshow { module: 'MMM-PlexSlideshow', classes: 'Digital-Pictureframe', position: 'fullscreen_above', config: { plex: { hostname: '192.168.1.123', port: 32400, username: 'xxx@xxx.com', password: 'password', }, transitionImages: true, }, classes: 'slideshow' }, //MM Remote Control { module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', header: '', config: { customCommand: {}, customMenu: 'custom_menu.json', showModuleApiMenu: true, apiKey: '' } }, //News Headlines { module: 'newsfeed', position: 'top_bar', header: '', config: { feeds: [ { title: 'BBC News', url: 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml' } ], startTags: [], endTags: [], prohibitedWords: [] }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'MMM-GPIO-Notifications', config: { '4': { gpio_state: 1, gpio_debounce: 0, delay: 30000, notifications: [{ notification: 'SCREEN_ON', payload: { 'forced': false } }, {} ] } } }, { module: 'MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification', config: { delay: 60, hideInsteadShutoff: true, //do not shutoff the screen changeToProfile: "slideshow" //change to this profile instead of hiding the modules } }, { module: 'MMM-ViewNotifications', position: 'bottom_left', header: 'Notifications', config: { timeout: 0, format: '{time}: "{module}" sent "{notification}" with {payloadData}', // See below for configurable options includeModules: ["MMM-GPIO-Notifications", "MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification"] }, classes: 'normal' }, { //https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher", config: { defaultClass: "normal", ignoreModules: [ "MMM-ModuleScheduler", "MMM-Remote-Control", "MMM-GPIO-Notifications", ], } }, ] }; /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/ if (typeof module !== 'undefined') { module.exports = config; }

    @interman I am not aware of any particular solutions. I am into the mechanics, not the ui. couldn’t make a pretty ui if I tried (and I have a few dozen times)

    I sent the oracal back (very expensive stuff) as I could get much cheaper and darker stuff from our local hardware store. So I got the back covered with it, and then cut holes in it for the LED lights and monitor, it seems to work very well.

    @WendyColbert this looks like a garbage post (your two)… what does ‘site’ mean? and who are the ‘professionals’ we are all volunteer here, and no one is available (generally) work for hire…

    Maybe I am confused. I thought this was a discourse forum. I was suggesting using the same plugin to make a gallery from the “show me your mirror” section. It would be nice to be able to browse that section with a chosen image from each post with the title of the post.

    @velkrosmaak I also use motion to detect and then stream the video via to the MM via MMM_SmartWebDisplay In the motion config file (/etc/motion) search for ’ # Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none) '# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap '# on_event_start value '# Show iFrame in MagicMirror on_event_start /etc/motion/notifyOn_MM.sh '# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion '# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap. '# on_event_end value '# Hide iFrame on MagicMirror on_event_end /etc/motion/notifyOff_MM.sh and the scripts could look like: '# Show SmartWebDisplay in MagicMirror (iFrame no longer supported in MM 2.7.1) curl --no-verbose http://:8080/remote?action=SHOW"&"module=module_10_MMM-SmartWebDisplay Peter

    @wishmaster270 I used to try the forced armv7l approach, but had failures in other areas as the versions of node increased. u can see the code commented out in the script. I finally gave up and implemented the script to launch chromium over the server as the only reliable approach.

    Most monitors are IPS panels while most TV’s are VA panels. IPS has wider viewing angles with consistent color. The VA panels have better refresh rates for motion (which is not commonly needed for something like a mirror). TV’s can be an easy choice because they can be much more available and a remote could be useful. A monitor will generally make for a preferred screen by having better viewing angles and being lighter overall.
