So I have been working on my smart mirror and I got a IR-Frame for it. But for now the interaction is very limited and I wanted to change that and tried to add webbrowser into the mix, but the biggest problem was that I couldn’t write anything. I searched for virtual keyboard module, but couldn’t find any. Is there even a module like that? Also when I didn’t find one, I tried to do one myself, but I’m new to programming and especially javascript, so I did some googling and found SimpleKeyboard, which seems to be what I need but I don’t know how to integrate it into a module.

@fallandegubbe this is a great project to learn how to code, and JavaScript is quite a forgiving language, so it’s perfect for beginners. What you’ll need to do is pretty straightforward and common for MM modules.

First search for an online JavaScript 101… plenty of free resources available. Then download and examine the code for an existing module as a template to get an idea what the structure looks like. Finally do a bit of Googling to learn how to do specific things like make an AJAX for API data, and how to programmatically create HTML markup.

Try to keep it simple from the get go. You can accomplish what you want to do without anything fancy like a Node helper File or even an external CSS file. Once you have a working module (which will quite a satisfying accomplishment — congrats for sticking with it!) you can make improvements in order to learn some of the more advanced stuff.

You can do this! Speaking as someone who does not code for a living, nor would I consider myself a “programmer,” I can confidently say that you can learn everything you need with a couple days effort and liberal Googling, a dash of determination to stick with it. Also, this forum is a great place to ask questions when you get stuck. Lots of us got started in the exact same way.

Once you’ve finished your module, you can get the fancy “Module Developer” badge beside your name too!

@sdetweil That is correct; you are a very skilled developer @sdetweil !
Thank you for all your help :)

@piyushtanksale00 - I do know that the MMM-Fitbit module includes a heart rate statistic. The module is a little unreliable due to Fibit’s weird API. But once you get it running you can get all sorts of fun fitness information from it.

Depending upon your coding skills, just about anything with a REST API can be displayed on the mirror.

Hi,

Depending on how you configure it, you can have something pretty good with :

MMM-CalendarWeek

I will try to test my code skills (inexistant for now) and propose a PR in future to be able to change start date upon notification (ill be me the possibility to go to next month with a gesture).

Keep you posted.

Is it possible to track a device?

Works like charm!!!
@Sean = this guys rocks!
Thank you very much for that.

@adubrovs Yeah good thought! Hope it works for you.

MagicMirror and GassistPi are two very cool project that can run on the same Rpi3.Gassistpi is the cooler google assistant project out there,no one has so many features available.I am gonna post it to the GassistPi chat too if someone with the right knowledge can make a MagicMirror module for visual presentation of Gassistpi .I thing this will be the cooler features of all.There are several MM modules for voice control but in my opinion Gassist running outside of MM is way better.

@surger13 yes, sorry, didn’t mention mount was required to get access first before the link…

hidden folders. that is a a surprise!

@ryck said in Worldclock & Currency:

@yawns You can always use https://exchangeratesapi.io/ if you don’t want to make people get an apiKey…

Thanks for the heads up. I updated the module to use the new source instead.

@revdbrink

If you have the code for the widget you can insert into an iframe and boom! :-)

@ganget yep checked it out nope doesn’t do that. The main idea was to hook it to my account so when I AirPlayed stuff it ie music it would show up, but guess I’ll have to look at something other than MM for that bit

Quick head’s up to that topic! Surprised that nobody jumped on it!

I’m interested too.

Actually, I’m planning to use Familink Feed which I woud love to integrate on the mirror itself.

Hi!
Would you mind trying to solve this one also (both are related to the same topic) :
MMForum Post
Same Issue on GitHub

within your PR?

I still would like to have 2 different instances which doesn’t overwrite each other.

If OK for you, I will close the other post and refer to this one.

Regards

Hello,
Is it possible to create several Profiles with several pages each?

ist es möglich MMM-ProfileSwitcher and MMM-pages so zu kombinieren, dass man mehrere Profile mit mehreren Seiten hat? Oder gibts es andere Module für diese Lösung ?

@skorpionbird It depends on what you mean ‘command’
Command for Page increment and decrement is easy enough. That is prepared by other module with simple notification. But By example; for reboot; you need something(module, shell command or script or extern application.) to do really reboot. Then you also need an activator which relay MMM—Hover to that command execution. Hover itself doesn’t have that feature, you should do one of options which is described in above post.

Will do. It seems like all the components are there. One of those location clocks had a full walkthrough, including how to hook up the gears. The app for the phone exists, code examples exist, etc. The app includes a free tier of location processing & storage, so it seems like all of the hard stuff has already been done.

I have one more mirror on my plate before I start work on my Weasley Clock. It should be fairly easy to turn that into a module. Should.

I have tried this on multiple installations and it just seems broken. Maybe google changed the API or something. I also do not think the original creator is coming back.

There should be a way to mark projects dead. I wasted a good bit of time on this.
