Old Modules from MM1 transfer to MM2

shgmongohh

Hi there,

is it possible to transfer old modules for the Magic Mirror Version 1 to the new Magic Mirror 2?
I have found some cool modules for MM1 but I don´t kown how to install them to the MM2. As I know MM1 has an Apache Server and MM2 uses Electron.

Can anybody help me or as some ideas how to do that?

For examlpe, this guy has a smart mirror witih a speech module, what I also like to have. Smart Mirror
And this guy, his homepage is in german, has an video rss stream from a news magazine, what I like to have. dracary Here you can download his API. His Interface comes from here.
To start the video rss stream a physikal button is needed. Here he explains how to install the button and here you can download his interface with the button.

My understanding is, that the button in your link is only a virtual button. The other button is a physical button. I have no touch screen, so I need a physikal one. With the physical one i could start the video rss stream.

That´s the reason for my question. Is it possible to adopt MM1 modules easily to MM2 or is it a lot of effort.

it’s a physical button because you can define which pin it’s connected to on gpio in your module config :)

this one is just a virtual button https://github.com/masters1222/mm-hide-all

it is definitely possible to adopt those modules but it’s probably less effort to rewrite them from scratch

Okay, thanks for the information. I will try it.

I’m actually looking to do the reverse, take some MM2 modules and add them into my current MM1 (more for learning purposes). Any idea if this is possible?
