@Sean said in How to add an up counter with years, months, weeks, days: @CaramelCase set “unit” field to "years"or "seconds"or any other units you want. I want it to show years, months and days. No just one unit.

@hungns35 sure… do it the same way… my MMM-SleepWake module allows some external motion detector to signal start/stop motion, and can hide modules, use dpms or pi tvservice. I use the github motion project to monitor the camera for motion

Did you ever figure out how to use Spotify commands with Alexa on the Magic Mirror like the guy does in the video you are referencing?

@Snow_white Yes, I use it more than my phone because it’s always on and is in the hallway. Mine is always on, I just turn off the screen during night-time. The real benifit is when you are more than one person in the household… you don’t have to look at like five different apps for each person’s phone, the mirror just shows an overview of it all. For the other modules I did not mention… The default clock calendar_monthly Weather forecast Next bus departure MMM-MyCommute National soccer league standings

@Betialai I suppose you must change the slideInterval parameter on the module config. By default it’s configured to change every 5 minutes: slideInterval 5 * 60 * 1000 If you change that value for this one: slideInterval 10080 * 60 * 1000 It must be change every 7 days. 7 x 24 = 168 hours a week. 168 x 60 = 10080 minutes a week. Hope it helps

does anybody have MMM screencast running on Mac?

@640008915 Nothing wrong with answering your own question. Thanks for sharing your solution with the community. Mark the post as solved so that others may know that it has been resolved. Enjoy your mirror.

Is the module still working ?

@hungns35 Have you read this? Is it different with your wants? https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10917/guide-control-mm-via-google-home

@planet4 Vad man blir glad att se svenskar:) Din sidan har jag hängt mkt på:) grymt bra. har lyckats installera alexa, nu kommer det svåraste av allt att lösa confi.js det är lurigt… den är ju gansak så känslig på de:/ inte hittat några riktigt bra program, använder visual studio code…

Hello, I’m trying to make this project ( https://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Based-Living-Portrait-Player-Intro/ ) into a Module. The difficulty I have is that I’m using Simple-Swiper module to switch the pages of my mirror. Here is what I’m trying to do : the user can navigate on the different pages. when he reaches the last page , omx player is displayed with the video but doesn’t play the video. It just display the first image. This is what is done in the Living-Portrait-Player. if a move is detected, the video plays. if the user switch the page, omx is killed and disappears. I’m asking for your help because I have already started something but I can’t manage to make it work. I’m getting inspiration from multiple modules for this project. MMM-PIR which is the one I’m using as a main module and I’m modifying the code of that module. MMM-Podcast MMM-pages to find out what is the current page MMM-RTSPStream for methods related to omxplayer I wonder if I can use the callback method in MMM-PIR to run the script when the user arrives on the page. I haven’t tried that yet. And also, how to kill omx when the user changes the page. I’m also having difficulties to get the current page in the MM-PIR modules. I’m using this.sendNotification(“QUERY_PAGE_NUMBER”); in the MMM-PIR.js but seems like MMM-pages doesn’t receive the notification. I would be so thankful if someone could help me working on this.

@allebone yes, run unique docker instances for each person. Port 8080 for Sue 8081 for Bob 8082 for Ted Etc. The internal mm config is the same, port 8080. Just different modules and config for each.

@Stoffbeuteluwe nvm help easy installation and maintenance. And furthermore, you can test different versions of nodejs and npm in one device without removing current version and resinstalling.

I built a MM running on Win10 for the kids showing agenda, weather, and news headlines. Now my wife would like one in the kitchen. Not a MIrror, but an information screen to replace our paper calendar. What she’s asking for ideally is a calendar display, with a touch interface to show the daily agenda. If it could also somehow display a recipe on request that would be awesome. Is something like this possible with MM on a PI, and what kind of hardware would I need?

as for the config.js not showing as modified, it is EXPECTED that this file will be modified and so it is not tracked (see the .gitignore file) so that on updates it will not be overwritten

@leoly77 i am running MagicMirror on an Odrodi XU4 with Ubutnu 18.04 without problems. no python… MagicMirror is all Javascript also running smart-mirror (evan cohen on github), still all javascript

I am looking into building a smart mirror within the next month and would like to have google home functionality integrated. I have been unable to find any information regarding a smart mirror using a pre-existing google home mini. I have only seen them using the google AIY voice kit. I am wondering if the same can be accomplished with my google home mini as has been done with the AIY kit. Thanks.

@trividar yes, and yes. I start the motion program as part of the little script to start mm. Short term just type sudo motion &
