next question.
is it Possible to use this module two times in one MM?
I want to use it on left for home sensor and on right for own meteo station and air quality?

@yawns Can I interact with the web view (i.e. go to different pages, etc.) or is it just static?

Hi djo,
I am having exactly the same idea and problem. My wife and I use a cooking blog on a mobile phone and it is very easy to send a link with a particular recipe to a given email address with the link in the body of the email. Based on that my solution (not tested yet) is the following.

Setup an email client and a parser on your Raspberry so that the url is taken out of the email and written down to a separate file. Example here.

Use one of these modules iFrame or iFrame Reload to load the contents of a html file. The difficulty here is that the file is not on the Internet but it’s a local file.

The parser from 1 can construct the local file in such a way that it contains another iFrame pointing out at our url with the recipe.

We need a way to get rid of the recipe from the screen after, say, an hour. This is something to be worked out. Maybe the second module can handle that. Or any other way - voice, another mail, etc.?

This is my rough thinking. I will be testing it quite soon. Let you know about the results.

Good morning, I’m looking for a todo list that supports a DAV server. use a nextcloud server for years and would like to continue this. is there a module here?

Howdy all,

I’m new to javascript and I’m looking to convert the awesome existing MMM-DCMetroTrainTimes Module from the WMATA API to the amazing MetroHero API. I believe this is more complicated than a simple HTTP swap, since WMATA uses HTTPS and MetroHero uses POST.

I’ve pulled my own fork to start working on GitHub and have started attempting edits (unsuccessfully). I’ve gotten an api-key from MetroHero, and have made successful queries using Postman.

Here’s the WMATA API Documentation
Here’s the MetroHero API Documentation

Any advice, examples, required reading that’d be helpful?

Am I better off starting from scratch?

Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

I’m pretty new to MagicMirror and have only basic knowledge in programming through my university, which makes changing and editing code in MM quite complex. I was looking at the module MMM-nextbike which uses the nextbike system. In my hometown Gothenburg our system is operated by Allbikesnow/JCDecaux. As far as I understand it is possible to basically do the same thing with Allbikesnow except that an API is needed for the requests. Can someone help me out with editing this script? or at least tell me where and how I could start?

Both Endomondo and Strava are tracking your position only when you activate the exercise.

In Endomondo users get this feature for free - they can open their browsers or run the smartphone app to see which of their Endomondo friends do something and where they are. However, as you mentioned, Endomondo has no API available for public.

In case of Strava, when you start your activity you can select an option for Strava to send by text message to predefined contacts a link to a website with your activity, map and position online. It is called a Beacon and it is paid. Users have checked that in fact anyone who has the link can visit this page and see the location. Whereas all other features are well described in the API manual (http://strava.github.io/api/partner/) the Beacon feature is empty. Maybe if you are a premium member they will reveal the contents of this part.

In my opinion you are not limited to these two apps. There must be plenty of others, particularly those designed to track children etc.

can someone guide me on how to open or close a module via test notification. I have this code for notification which should broadcast message to all:
this.expressApp.post(‘/module’, function (req, res) {

var data = ""; req.on('data', function(chunk){ data += chunk}) req.on('end', function(){ req.rawBody = data; req.jsonBody = JSON.parse(data); url = req.jsonBody.url statuss = req.jsonBody.statuss console.log(url) self.sendSocketNotification("MODULE", {"module":url, "statu": statuss }) res.sendStatus(200); }) });

Tesla have an API for their cars - can be used to access info about the car and to set/start functions in the car.

Here is a thorough description of the what the API can do - https://timdorr.docs.apiary.io/#
My programming skills are not good enought to write a module to use that APi to display information about the car.

A module that displayed lock status, location, charge level, location… would be very nice.

I presume it would be quite trivial for a good programmer. The Nest API used for the NEST module seems quite similar.

Cheers

Hey there,

this forum has been a huge help for me the plan and build my magic mirror. It will have indirect lighting included and needs a way to switch that on.
I planned to do this controlled by motion. I found the various modules here, but don’t know which is best to use. I also plan to use @paviro’s MMM-Facial-Recognition and read that some are not compatible and block the cam. Is there any motion detection module that uses camera and is compatible with the facial module?
If not I might use a PIR, but that’s only the worst case (I don’t like the hole in the front, maybe I mount it below the frame and adjust sensitivity to trigger with moving feet…).

hi guys,i need an text slide to show my text as slideshow and auto refresh every x second for new words,anyone can help me?

City mapper has a very complex api that I’m pretty sure requires a key, but if someone could map this in it would cover tonnes of areas (I know that none of the existing modules cover me here in Australia).

@yawns Thank you so much!

Can anyone revive one of the stock modules using Alphavantage’s API ?
Might be some better alternatives, but this looks promising?

Thanks alot!

hi there,

anyone know if the mm-toon is getting a update because they changed the website for the api and now im not getting the module working on my mirror ?

@ChrisEW

Post your config entry for NOAA here (in a code block) and leave the weather station ID in so I can test that as well

Did you ever get this going? If so please share how. I could not with html…
I too have a text file, a grocery list from any.do that I want to display.

I was using todoist with this but want to display more than one list.
