Family Mirror

[dathbe]

I finally got around to making my mirror presentable, so I thought I’d show it off.

Yes, I do have eventual plans to do something about that brown electrical cord hanging out the bottom.

The guts are a 30" TV I pulled out of its shell and a Raspberry Pi 4B. I used some 1"x3" and some molding to build a simple box frame.

The primary modules are:

alert
updatenotification
clock
MMM-Remote-Control - used for updating several other modules
MMM-CustomText - used to show a message via a python script when there are apt updates for my RPi, and weather alerts via another python script
MMM-EarthquakeAlerts
MMM-RandomPhoto
MMM-MagicMover
MMM-ModuleScheduler - hides certain modules when they’re out of season
MMM-Carousel - rotates through 5 separate pages

Page 1 - Calendar
MMM-CalendarExt2 - It pulls from a generic GMail calendar I’ve convinced my wife to invite to anything the whole fam should know about
MMM-Multimonth

Page 2 - Weather
MMM-RAIN-MAP - only displays when rain is predicted in the next 12 hours
weather - used only to trigger MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast
MMM-MoonPhase
A proprietary module that displays a day/night map of the earth
MMM-Block - adjusts the height of the two bottom modules so they line up

Page 3 - Home Automation
MMM-Rest - several instances; grabs info from my home automation server
MMM-NestRemoteThermostat
MMM-GoogleMaps-Tracking - updated via python script
MMM-Block - to move modules around so they line up

Page 4 - Sports
MMM-MyScoreboard
MMM-MyStandings - multiple instances
MMM-PGA

Page 5 - Info
MMM-SimpleLogo - a logo from our school
MMM-LINQConnectCalendar
MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu
MMM-JsonTable - displays gas prices via a python script
MMM-Pinfo
MMM-Block - multiple instances to adjust things so they line up

The Future
Adding touchscreen capabilities? This seems like a pain that would ruin the aesthetics, but maybe.

Really nice! Thanks for sharing and the description with details about the modules! 👏

Cool setup.
Under page 5 you have the json table setup for gas prices.
Can you share the url for the gas prices you use?

[dathbe]

@plainbroke It’s a custom python script, and it has broken since I created this post. Working on a plan B.

This looks great! How did you get only the lunch menus to show?

[dathbe]

@Lmagenis custom CSS:

/* MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu CSS */

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu {
  max-width: 500px;
}

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu .meal-list {
  margin-block-start: unset;
}

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu li {
  font-size: var(--font-size-small);
}

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu ul {
  padding-inline-start: 0;
}

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu .large {
  color: #f8dd70;
  line-height: unset;
}

.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu .meal-title,
.MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu .breakfast-description {
  display: none;
}

The last entry is the key to what you’re asking.

@Lmagenis Looking again, it appears that my tweak to the module to add the ‘.breakfast-description’ class was never merged. I’m on my own fork of the module:

https://github.com/dathbe/MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu/tree/combined

(Note that it’s the “combined” branch not the default branch.)

You can see the various tweaks I’ve made to my fork here:

@dathbe Thank you! I’m still learning all of this. I appreciate your help!
