@mbeiswenger Suggest you take the free TryGit course. You can also consult the Git documentation and ask questions here (search first!).

In terms of collaborating, it depends if you will all be working on the same or different features. You will want at least one fork. Also, make your commits small and related (not “here is MM3.0” but “added optional config param capitalizeAll to newsfeed“). You can either share contributor access to a single branch, or all have them fork-your-fork and submit Pull Requests to your fork/branch. You shouldn’t need to modify .gitignore – it should already ignore the right files plus a lot of OS-specific cruft.

If you ever intend on submitting your changes to the MM develop (not master) branch, see the contributing notes in Contributing.md.

Sincere thanks. I really appreciate it. It’s just what I was looking for.

I finally received my replacement mirror and it has no defects. So basically I got two mirrors for 48€ incl. shipping. The first has only a tiny defect which makes it still usable for a second mirror.

My frame is also almost done. I just painted it a second time and I am now waiting for the paint to dry. Next week I should be able to put everything together.

@Albinolan I had the same idea a few months ago and I’m still thinking about realizing this. There is, after all a module here that can show pictures in the background. There is also one guy using MM without a mirror on his fridge.

Lots of cool ideas

Regarding this: The smart mirror idea has been getting some push in recent months/years and some people try to make money out of it. There’s a lot open source to build upon I guess.

@Myst yes, would make sense in the wiki

@cruunnerr said in what mic?:

In some cases it could be, that USB mic’s got a little more latency

I can confirm this. I’ve been doing a lot of voice work recently and there is a noticeable lag when using a USB microphone. If you’re using a Pi then you don’t have any choice but to use USB. :-/

@redink if you can, get their SSID and password and enter those in the PI wifi config before delivery.

Personal information, like calendar etc you should just leave the default settings and then help them set up their calendar after first boot up.

So what I’m saying is, leave it as stock as possible (so they can start it up and look at it) after that help them with the personal stuff :)

@Mykle1 Thanks for your quick response.

glad to hear that.

moreover u did a great job with your mirror ;)

@Mastermark maybe they have some sort of non metallic mirror coating (foil?)?

there is also an option to activate “description” in the newsfeed module to get more information.
(if the rss-source have put anything in the description that is)

@joela85 Currently I’m using my phone and laptop to play Spotify. MMM-Scrobbler works fine when I’m streaming using phone and laptop, but when I try to stream using raspberry pi the track information won’t update.

. double opt in didn’t seem to work a while back, is it working now?

I doubt that. Their email addresses are random characters @ outlook.com

Hi @kiki99:

You can send the SCREEN_WAKEUP notification to MMM-PIR-Sensor via MMM-Remote-Control (some details how to structure the GET request here): https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6106/use-mmm-buttons-to-hide-show-modules).

If you can get the Alexa wakeword to send the notification, it should wake the monitor as though you triggered the PIR.

@cruunnerr said in I messed up:

i think the process of pm2 is called MagicMirror

Ahhh, thanks for putting me straight. I don’t do automatic installations anymore. I’ve only installed PM2 manually and use the commands that I stated. Good catch @cruunnerr! :-)

@nh_790

Wow!! Thank you very much for that two tricks! Working just perfectly. I think this monitor is now the perfect one for my mirror. Although this will take some time… :)

@Sean with Chromium I believe you can make to work all modules
I did some modules to work with Chromium https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/32731

@tbbear said in Additional Info for each module:

So what do u all think about this idea???

I like this idea and I will comply with all future modules. :-)

My recent Hello-Lucy enhancement for MMM-voice does make mention of the cpu it was developed on and the expected latency when using a non-integrated USB microphone. :-)

The lights WOULD create a glare…you’d have to test one to see how badly.
But those vanities look dynamite…my daughter would love one!

A backup of a running system is a good idea. Keep in mind how often we have trouble with new Raspbian versions. It still seems to run best on Jessi, so at least keep an image of that Raspbian version at hand that works for you (but then again, why not a complete backup image?).

My Mirror crashed with data loss and corrupted sd card and for weeks, evening after evening I couldn’t get WiFi to run on my RasPi with the new card and latest Raspbian. Finally found my old Jessi image and it worked immediately. If only I had made a backup, it would have been a 10 minute thing.
