  @jani-karna yes that is normal, if a module doesn’t have the optional file node_helper.js you will see it in the logs

  @BigMan said in Create another config.js file: even easier! put all your configs into the config folder then just set which on to use #!/bin/bash # set my config export MM_CONFIG_FILE=~/MagicMirror/config/config1.js # then call mm.sh exec ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh thanks @strawberry-3-141

  @Tracy said in “Virtual” Window How-To?: I’ve seen the Sky Factory website, and that’s exactly what I am talking about I was only using it as a place for others to focus on your requirements/idea, not ‘the’ solution. cost should be fairly low… I put together a 32 in tv based photoframe for $125, all in. and I have a 55 in 4k tv in my office, i bought new for $220+$50 for my SBC (pi/odroid/jetson nano) the rest is software and some configuration… if you want an actual window look, the framing is a little bit more… go to a habitat for humanity store and get a removed window… (I am speaking US locations). but u can prove the system quickly with any computer monitor… I would go for the higher end SBC, if u want smoother motion on screen (more lifelike)

  I have a raspberry pi zero with the Raspberry Pi Camera v2.1. I am trying to make it stream video and work with the MMM-RTSPStream module installed on the main Rapsberry Pi 3 but am getting errors. I am setting up the RTSP stream using instructions found on https://zoneminder.blogspot.com/p/rasbpeery-pi-zero-camera.html and when I get to sudo systemctl start v4l2rtspserver I get an error and nothing happens I noticed that the file referenced in the system file I had to create does not exist in the usr/bin but I found it in home/pi/v4l2rtspserver location so I used the terminal to copy it over. However that did not fix the issue Camera I am using: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-camera-module-v2-1-with-mount Any help you can provide with this is appreciated I included a photo of the systemctl status file

  First of all follow the instuctions in the below link, then go to the calender in Office 365 (web) and right click on the 3 dots next to the calender you want to display on your Mirror, click the share and permissions invitation, there are a few opions like, can view when busy, can view all details etc etc, pick the one that suits you then email yourself the share link, copy link and paste into the config.js file under the module “calender-check” url: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calender/followed by loads of numbers and your user account ending in/reachcalender.ics Mine works a treat https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/manage/share-calendars-with-external-users?view=o365-worldwide

  Try tried an app two years ago but I didn’t remember the name. It was the best website I used it for your query also. You can download songs from soundcloud using something like this soundcloud downloader Just paste in the URL of the soundcloud song. And you get a mp3 download.

  @nimbus78 yes. Assuming you are in Windows… download notepad++. It’s free. Once you have it open go to the plug in manager and search for java or jscript plug ins. I can not think of the one that I really like at the moment but you can then copy your config to your windows box. Hit one button and it will line everything up nice and clean jscript format. It will make looking at your config a lot easier. From there it will also tell you if you are forgetting a comma or curly bracket as you add modules to your config. Use winscp to copy the config to/from your pi. Also. Once you have a good workin config and you wanna play with a new module. Make a back up first so that if it doesn’t work out or you are frustrated you can “restore the back up” On the pi command line to create a back up. Navigate to the die with your config: cp config.filename backupfile.name cp is the copy command and it works as “from” and then “to” If you ever need to restore: cp backupfile.name config.filename. Reload and you are safely back where you started before screwing with your config. Hopefully some of this helps you.

  Really cool idea. I’d just go with an accelerometer sorry just found that with a really quick google search on a German site, but you’ll get what I mean https://eckstein-shop.de/GY-346-Accelerometer-3-Achsen-Beschleunigungssensor-ADXL346-fuer-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi?curr=EUR&gclid=CjwKCAjwmq3kBRB_EiwAJkNDpx2x0CsKx1VTSGcU_NeQNqVU1vRg7enu1Nt0FTXsmRLgGDGBaxgYFxoChuMQAvD_BwE

  Hi Guys. I am really keen to start building a Magic Mirror. I have been trying to think of a good use case so that my Mrs would be on board and actually enjoy using it. In our Kitchen we have a weekly meal planner so that we know on what day we are having fish and chips or what ever. Now i think the use case could be replacing the pen board we have and replacing it with a Magic Mirror. Just some back ground info we use Samsung SmartThings , Google home. So is it possible that we could display a weekly meal planner on the Magic Mirror? In order to get the info on the Magic Mirror it would be good to say Hey Google add Fish and Chips to Monday planner and it some hows adds this to a file or system that the Magic Mirror can pick up I love this idea combined with showing new and calendar infor on screen. It just seems to amazing. So is this possible or is it still far to Harry Potter? Thanks in advance
