27" Kitchen Dashboard

@jconno03 This is fantastic! I am about to get started building a screen for our family kitchen. I hadn’t thought of putting a frame around the screen, but that would be a nice touch to match our cabinets.
Thanks for listing the materials and modules. I just discovered MM this week so am eager to get started!

@jconno03 Awesome!

This is really cool, great work. Any chance you can post the code. I can’t get AlexaControl to work for some reason.

can u look at the messages at MM startup, it should give you messages about listening on ports for the AlexaControl devices…

and SOME alexas cannot find the AC devices… my echo 1 can, my echo show 5(v1) cannot

@sdetweil Thanks for the tip, I’ll check

@JeanMichelC we should take this to a new topic

Here is my Alexa configuration. I am have an Echo Show 5 and an Echo Input. My feeling is that verbally asking Alexa to scan for new devices works better than attempting to scan from the app. Works flawlessly for me.

		module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
		position: 'middle_center',
		config:{
			image: false,
			deviceName: "Mirror",
			pm2ProcessName: "MagicMirror",
			vcgencmd: "wlr-randr",
			},

Awesome MagicMirror setup.

Any chance of looking at the config.js, please?

Aboslutely outstanding!

I did a similar build (down to the recessed outlet and french cleat).

I used a PiZero2 to keep things as thin as possible, but I see your build uses a full-sized Pi and looks great – the thickness looks prportionate.

I bet your guests say ‘whoa!’ everytime they see it.

@jconno03, Nice build? How did you get the Worldclock times to align in a row (horizontally) instead of the default vertical orientation?

@sheptastic
Custom CSS which I think I took from another person’s post in this forum. Here are my entries…

/* Worldclock **/
/ Arrange clocks horizontally /
.MMM-Worldclock .worldtime {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.MMM-Worldclock .world{
width: 140px;
}
.MMM-Worldclock .world-0{ / 1st clock = UTC clock */
width: 140px;
font-size:100%;
}

/* Time title font color and size */
.MMM-Worldclock .zone {
font-size: calc(var(–font-size) - 6px);
color: var(–color-text-bright);
}

/* Hide time difference to UTC */
MMM-Worldclock .gap {
font-size: 1px;
color: transparent;
}
