My 1st MagicMirror2
-
@Cato It always triggers when it should. The sensor is quite powerful though in that it will work through stud walls… even with the sensitivity at the lowest setting! Not really a problem as the Mirror is downstairs in the house so when people are in the mirror is ‘on’ but come bed time and when the house is unoccupied the mirror turns off.

@djdwayneanthony Sure,
Here is my config.js:

I have removed api keys, destinations, etc so anything in ITALICS you would require adding your own variable here as described in the modules.
The Modules I used are:
alert (default module)
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Snow (I only configure this ON during the holiday period!)
clock (default module)
calendar (default module)
currentweather (default module)
weatherforecast (default module)
MMM-NetworkScanner
calendar_monthly
newsfeed (default module)
MMM-Traffic (used three times, for different commutes)
mmm-systemtemperature
updatenotification (default module) -
You could remove the margins of the MM body, that way you would utilize more of the screen itself, since you have more mirror on the sides of the monitor :)

@broberg I will look into this - will give me a little more room. Cheers!

@djdwayneanthony Also here is my custom.css - it is only colour changes for the Weather forecast and not my work - copied from someone else’s post here…

Looks better - plus can get more calendar entries on the screen now! Thanks for the tip.
-
@sithlordhood no probs! glad I could give useful tips :D
On my raspberry I also noticed my 1920 background didn’t display correctly, I had black borders around the workspace that cut off some graphics, so I followed this :
http://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/raspberry-pi/28/raspi-display-setting.htmlAnd gained a couple of more pixels :) (ie I got the full 1920 resolution again)

@Cato I’ve been looking for a usb extension … I found one once that was round with 2 USB ports but I can’t find it again :( I would have drilled through my case and installed that!!

It´s easy just add this to your custom css:
/***************************************************** * Magic Mirror * * Custom CSS * * * * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl * * MIT Licensed. * * * * Add any custom CSS below. * * Changes to this files will be ignored by GIT. * *****************************************************/ body { margin: 20px; position: absolute; height: calc(100% - 40px); width: calc(100% - 40px); background: #000; color: #aaa; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 2em; line-height: 1.5em; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; } .region.fullscreen { position: absolute; top: -20px; left: -20px; right: -20px; bottom: -20px; }just play with the px and don´t forget about the fullscreen mode for modules :)
