@DevilRev I think this is currently not possible within the core application. I also wanted this for my remote control, however I concluded that for now it is sufficient, to add the module to the config, and restart the application in this case. However this might be worth being added to the core.

:-p thanks :-)

@strawberry-3.141 , the json will be on the server, check the link below. It will be very similar. The number 83139 refers to a bus stop and will query the bus arrival timings. The module will need to be able to reload the content every minute to get the updates arrival timings. Ability to query multiple bus stops will be great! https://arrivelah.herokuapp.com/?id=83139

@strawberry-3.141 thanks :-) yes was a bit lost in the code to found the broadcast

I’m really interested in adding voice control, especially a solution provided by amazon or google with good recognition. I can see in the video above alexa can answer all sorts of questions but how can this be incorporated into magic mirror to do thing like restart, show and hide modules, etc? Also, how would alexa get information about things like the current location to give travel times etc? I guess the end goal would be to have other modules controlling things like lighting (phillips hue?) and using the voice control to turn it on/off & change colour as an example.

Hi guys. I can’t explain how much I love to see this community, just the story about how MagicMirror came to be. This is truly remarkable. I’ve decided to make a mirror of my own and I’m already begun to purchase the main parts. Before my mirror can be fully functional I’ll have to develop some modules for it - but, first things first. When you’re using open source and have the opportunity to contribute, you’re in my opinion obliged to do so. Therefore I’m offering to translate your modules from English to Danish. No matter if it’s a small module with 1 string, or a big one with 1.000+ strings. My only demand is that the module is open source and free to use for others MagicMirror users. Just post a GitHub repository link for your MagicMirror module in this thread, and I will fork it, translate it and create a pull request :-)

Oh OK sorry I I haven’t understand you right. It was my mistake. I will try your post tonight. Thank you again Greets gismo

@strawberry-3.141 hope you will get an awesome topic :) Good luck. I ve just finished my bachelor thesis 😄

@geeflaxx on top of the suggestion of @bhepler you can also make chnges to your cumstom.css to limit the width of the newsfeed

@gismo2006 no worries, if you come up with more questions don’t hesitate to ask

@gismo2006 look out for the else if statement http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_if_else.asp

From the quick googling I’ve done, it may be possible to disable/enable raspberry pi usb power with commands: Disable echo 0x0 > /sys/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/buspower Enable echo 0x1 > /sys/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/buspower However I haven’t tested. I’d recommend writing a new module that handles this and listens for the USER_PRESENCE event notification that the Pir module triggers.

@zichao92 feel free to ask again if you stuck on something

Most of the time when I develop, I run server only mode and test most of the work in a default browser.

Thanks for the responses, guys. The E-Monitor API specification has a listing of the supported API methods (page 3), like authenticate, deauthenticate, getCurrentData and so on. Aside from Module.register, getStyles, start: function(), and getDom, are these methods listed in the API specification the ones that I will use as functions in my code? For example: Module.resgister ("MMM-Emonitor.js", { }, getStyles: function() { }, start: function() { }, getDom: function() { }, // And then the EMonitor methods below: authenticate: function() { } deauthenticate: function() { } getCurrentData: function() { } //... and so on down the list of the supported API methods

@bhepler I’m currently using a VPN called NeoRouter. It dose not require any ports to be open for the clients only for the server. The plus is if you have or host your own server somewhere like i do with Digital Ocean which only cost me 5 US dollars a month. I can control all of my Pi’s that are not connected to my network. I hope this help.

@KirAsh4 said in Christmas Countdown: Since he said smart nerds … here ya go http://bfy.tw/80wP Excellent :)

@shvncrvn Well then you might just do something like this (needs jquery) in your module, and catch the typing of the scanner.

@amcolash Well we’re not comparing as much as just joking around between a couple of NY’ers LOL

Why not upload it to GitHub or GitLab and then present it in the module showcase section? :)
