My daughter is really interested in birds, so I thought it would be fun to create something bird-related for her. I came across a great API that provides bird facts and images, and decided to make a simple “Bird of the Day” module for MagicMirror². 🐦

The module displays a random bird at a set interval using the Nuthatch API (https://nuthatch.lastelm.software/). The API is free, and you just need an API key to get started.

Here’s an example of how it looks:

You can customize the interval (weekly, daily, or hourly) and choose which bird facts to display, such as name, region, conservation status, or scientific name.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can find the project on GitHub:

I created a module to allow you to display (and upload) images from AWS S3.

you can read more about the features on the github repo but in short the module has your standard affair when it comes to displaying images along with some scripts to both deploy aws resources and allow you to upload photos to the s3 bucket from the pi.

There are a couple quirks i am still working on ironing out but thought i would share.

the aws cost for 10gb of photos stored on the free tier should be about 30 cents monthly if you follow the recommended settings, and <4.5GB should stay within the free tier entirely.

Nice work.

UPDATES V1.1.0 Fixed issue with cast list appending cast members from different movies to the same list. Now only cast members of the displayed movie is displayed. Update and simplify the API calls to reduce the number of calls.

@sdetweil

thank you very much!

@cjkowatsch sorry for late response. yes plese try a gain there has been a lot of updates.

DISCLAIMER: I made this module using AI; I am not a developer (I only know enough to be dangerous) and made this for personal use. For this reason there is no official support for this module though contributions or suggestions are welcome. Like any other module you are using this at your own risk.

This is a simple module that displays affirmations from the affirmations.dev api. It provides some very basic features (Not to mention the positivity!)

I hope you enjoy :)

Welcome, friend. You’ve stumbled upon the MMM-OnSpotifyDude module, an easy-going companion to the MMM-OnSpotify module. Think of it as the Dude’s way of grooving along with your Spotify tunes, providing some laid-back commentary on the currently playing song. It’s like having The Dude himself lounging in your MagicMirror² setup, casually sharing his thoughts on your music.

@bthuilot I know this is years later but is this module not available anymore?

@greedyvegan yes, just use a link to map the mounted usb stick to where the module expects the images to be.

I do that with a file server mount for

MMM-ImagesPhotos

see the ln command

@sdetweil Thank you. That’s sense, I guess.

@Jonae hi did you ever manage to control another way?

Awesome! Thanks!

@vita10gy this is another module that could use a custom form layout in my MMM-Config module.

then it could present a drop-down list of locations, and not depend on users typing

Hi there!

Since I never done anything in JS and wanted to create a module of my own to start this development, I created a module that fetches a random MTG (Magic The Gathering, for whoever is unfamiliar) card.

Link to repo: MMM-MTG Repository

I just created the first release which is compatible with MagicMirror v2.25.0. I haven’t tested any other versions but it doesn’t use any other dependancies.

Example:
MTG card

@hogedir @Shinigami
I didn’t test all the feature, but still working as expected in MM 2.26.

Tested config is here;

{ module: "MMM-YouTube", position: "top_right", config: { defaultQuality: "default", width: "400px", height: "300px", onStartPlay: { type: "id", id: "UOxkGD8qRB4", shuffle: true, loop: false, autoplay: true, }, } },

@mumblebaj Added the same link to the github. Noticed there’s another module in the MM Github named MyVideoPlayer. Will look into another name tomorrow.

@thartley said in MMM-HolidayLights beautiful CSS for a slightly calmer light:

@Sam-0 Thank you for this module and the css code.
I like that the lights are partially covering the information that is already being displayed in the upper area, but the “twinkle” effect lets the information show through when the bulbs go into their dim phase. It is kind of a 3D effect.
I usually struggle with trying to modify css to tweak settings. Your comments/notes in your HolidayTemplate.css file explained things nicely for what the various parts do and how they control parts of the light string.
Using that information, I added a couple more colors (blue and orange) to a copy of the Christmas.css file. With all the examples you provided, I was able to copy code snippets from your other examples and paste them into my Christmas test copy, edit their position numbers, and add two more instances in the “.strand li:nth-child…” section of the css file. One thing that wasn’t notated in your documentation was what color name (ex: blue or red) each section creates, but you did tell us to go to https://www.colorhexa.com/ where we can get the information. From there it’s an easy task to get the color names and add a color name comment for each light in the css file.
I grabbed the code for the blue and orange from your Pride.css file. Blue is light #2, orange is light #5 from that css file.
One last comment - my normal MM setup is pretty basic. I can run my Le Potato with just a heat sink and the CPU temperature stays at 46C. With the Holiday Lights module running, it gets up to 67C so I reinstalled the 10cm fan that came with the case and it’s down to 49C.

Thanks for your comment. To be clear, I am not the creator of this module. But I enjoyed adjusting the colors and sharing this css. What you also indicated and I now see the connection is that my CPU heat also increased. I have installed heat sinks for this.
