Check out my new module here:
[card:shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream]

The API is goofy. API calls don’t work on postman but they work on their swagger and not all the calls work on swagger. I’ve got a ticket out to NPR API team. https://github.com/alberttwong/MMM-NPR/issues/1

Hi there,

as finally put my MagicMirror on the wall I want to see all the trams from my next station.

I tried to use the EFA-Module but the API of my city has a different format output.

So I would be happy if someone could help me.

The API endpoint is

http://efa155.efa.de/efaws2/default/XML_DM_REQUEST?sessionID=0&requestID=0&language=de&useRealtime=1&coordOutputFormat=WGS84[DD.ddddd]&locationServerActive=1&mode=direct&dmLineSelectionAll=1&depType=STOPEVENTS&useAllStops=1&command=null&type_dm=stop&name_dm=25004321&itdTime=1640&itdDate=20170608&mId=efa_www

Thank you in advance!

Rafael

@pjkoeleman Thanks for you reply. I was looking at unsplash, I’ve never heard of it before. They had some quality images but I’d still prefer the 500px one.

Phone app to update compliments to make it easier to change the compliments without having to go into login to the pi and change the config. Be able to put a reminder up on the compliment with a couple clicks of your phone

@Anhalter42 Whoa that’s it!! Thank you so much!!

Now there is :smiley: There are new config items:

showAlbumArt: true, showMetaData: true,

So if you want to hide the album art just set showAlbumArt to false.

Looking for some guidance. Is there a module that reads a table on a webpage and then rotates the statuses like the new feed? If not, I would settle for just updating the status.

There is a commuter train that runs from Virginia into Wash., DC. called the VRE. Their site has a RSS feed, but it doesn’t really track individual trains. The status that I am looking to pull is on this site: http://www.vre.org/service/status/

I haven’t read up on iframes and I am pretty sure that I am not using iframes in my current build. I guess I could, if that is required.

It is late in the day and the number of trains are starting to fade from the webpage, so here is what it looks like in case there are no trains listed when you look.

0_1496362484176_train.png

The code on the page looks like this:

<div class="widget case-status"> <h3 class="label case-status">Live Tracking</h3> <span class="label case-status">(Status Tracked via GPS)</span> <p class="description case-status">Train Status as of <span id="tripUpdateDate">Thursday, June 1, 2017</span> - <span id="tripUpdateTime">7:44 PM</span></p> <table id="tripupdates"> <thead> <tr> <td><strong>Train Number</strong></td> <td><strong>Status</strong></td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2">Loading...</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div id="delay-status" class="flow-center"> &nbsp; </div> </div>

Thanks,
Danny

Re: PICamera Gesture Recognition

Ok, guys I am setting a project with a Pi MagicMirror2 including a couple of enhancements:
the PI camera gesture detection and an RFID tag reader. All the hardware is already in place and I am stepping now to setup first the gesture recognition with the PiCamera V2 then the ideas was just to provide a MagicMirror2 module. While I proceed in the bare development please can someone address me who to contact and with whom I should stay in touch to test and deploy this module? Some suggestions? Ideas?

Ah ok, so could put them in preference order then. My dates now appear in dd-mm-yyyy format. Could be doing that on location basis.

I am finally pulling pieces for my mirror.
I came across orl rather looked for some fun libs using the camera.

Now my question assuming hardware used is powerful enough is the framework - electron capable of integrating such a thing as any of this libs:

@j.e.f.f Very cool! Thanks for replying with that here. Ill take a look at it and even if I dont end up using, itll be a great learning tool to review.

Following the steps on this thread is a good start for the zero W.

I like the MMM-door-sensor module, and I see that it uses notificationReceived to change the icon, but how do you send a notification to the module? I have tried this.sendNotification but I cannot seem to get it to work…

@SurfingCA IIRC MMM-Podcast works together with MMM-Button which enables you to use a hardware button to start playing the video/podcast. So you can either (1) use this OR (2) emulate its behaviour using MMM-RemoteControl.
(1) is properly documented I guess.
For (2) you have to send the exact notification MMM-Button would have sent. By looking through source code, you’ll see that it is BUTTON_PRESSED (with a payload of true, which gets ignored in MMM-Podcast anyway). So, you should be able to use http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=BUTTON_PRESSED to activate MMM-Podcast to play the video. Note: obviously you have to replace ip with the correct IP and you have to remove the whitespace between & and notification which I had to insert to prevent & and not to get converted to ¬ on this board.

Thx, for support

@hulkhaugen No but you could implement your own module based on the MMM-PIR-Sensor one that sends notifications to MMM-ProfileSwitcher instead of directly driving the HDMI output state.

I think Netflix API would be ok too: https://www.programmableweb.com/api/netflix

@strawberry-3.141 Just to repeat my thanks for sending me this. I installed it a couple of weeks ago and I’m very pleased with it. Highly recommended for people who like unusual words in the English language.

@JackONeill12
I’m doing a module you might be interested in.
