Does any programmer accept the challenge of creating a module to put KODI / LibreELEC in MagicMirror?
I could for example watch TV while shaving. rsrs

@BKeyport
possble. some modules like RemoteControl and notificationTrigger, can receive HTTP Request. If your script can send custom HTTP request(to localhost or internal IP), those modules can control other modules.

Thanks! I will update when the module is published.
First I need to solve some issues :)

@sdetweil oh I see, I made some modification based on your suggestion

const spawn = require("child_process").spawn var NodeHelper = require("node_helper") var process = spawn("python", ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Attend/attendance.py"]) require('events').EventEmitter.defaultMaxListeners = 0; module.exports = NodeHelper.create({ socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload){ switch(notification) { case "GIVE_ME_DATA": process.stderr.on("data", (data)=>{ console.log("attend process errorr= "+data) }) process.stdout.on("data", (data)=>{ console.log("attend data = "+data) var result = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array((data))) this.sendSocketNotification("HERE_IS_DATA", result) }) break } }, })

is this what you mean based on your previous comment. Because I don’t really get it

@MichMich none of the tests pass on my mac Catalina

@sdetweil JSON is perfect:

Thanks for the help so far!! Now I have my data I can play around with it.

@cookblook The MM2 is a webserver, more or less.

Take a look at MMM-Syslog (https://github.com/paviro/MMM-syslog)

@lavolp3 updateDom() returns a promise, but then IMMEDIATELY calls getDom()…

so the wait is ineffective

all you can do is check the dom to see if your minimum content some anchoring div) is present, and retry that until it is.
then call updateDom() to force a refresh

this is what I do in getDom(). i have an array of different charts to present

// if we are not suspended/hidden due to sleep or whatever if (wself.suspended == false) { // make sure we don't start before the data gets here if (!this.loaded) { < - just a flag for first time this.loaded = true; return wself.wrapper; } else { // loop thru the data from the blynk server, one chart per data point/pin for (var pin_index = 0; pin_index < wself.config.Pins.length; pin_index++) { // get the pin text name. used for index into the data hash var this_pin = wself.config.Pins[pin_index]; // clear the work variable var canvas = null; // try to locate the existing chart if ((canvas = document.getElementById("myChart" + this_pin)) == null) { var c = document.createElement("div"); c.style.width = wself.config.width + "px"; c.style.height = wself.config.height + "px"; if (!wself.config.stacked) {c.style.display = "inline-block";} wself.wrapper.appendChild(c); canvas = document.createElement("canvas"); canvas.id = "myChart" + this_pin; c.appendChild(canvas); } // if the chart has been created if (wself.charts[pin_index] != null) { // destroy it, update doesn't work reliably wself.charts[pin_index].destroy(); // make it unreferenced wself.charts[pin_index] = 0; } // create it now, into the special div object for this chart wself.charts[pin_index] = new Chart(canvas, {

my ‘schedule update’ asks for more data from my node_helper…
it informs me when its back. and I call updateDom() after saving the data where getDom() will look

u can see my code at https://github.com/sdetweil/WaterLevels

@spitzlbergerj cool!!

@Mykle1 Nice job :)…Thanks

I’m looking to set up a mirror which activates with a proximity sensor and I was wondering if it’s possible to adjust the compliments module so that it displays a compliment when the pi is powered up and then fades to blank until next time the sensor is activated.

I can’t see how the current settings in the readme would make this happen?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Let me know if it is and I’ll move it :)

thanks in advance

@sdetweil feels like you are my personal trainer :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Thansk for this link!

@Antagonist
Definitely there be 1 or 2 facial detection module as 3rd party’s. they are based on opencv, but personally i havent used it. so cannot remember the name. You can search in this forum with keyword facial or detection.

@bdream in the case where I made a copy, and NOT a fork, i create a fork, rename my installed instance out of the way, then clone the fork from MY github userid, and then copy the files from the saved instance to the new instance, retest, then use git to save those (commit to local repository) and then push to the fork. then u can erase your saved instance

now on the fork, others can try it out, as they can clone YOUR instance, instead of the original.

you can then create a pull request to the original repository.

your form does NOT stay in sync automatically with the original…

YOU have to create a pull request FROM the original to your fork to get and merge updates…

@lilpkstud cool… if need it in strings someplace, need to convert it back object=JSON.parse(string)
