Thanks for the compliments.

You can add a background with your custom.css like the link u posted, yawns.

My custom.css looks like this:

 body {
	background-image: url("background9.jpg");
	background-size: cover;
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-right: 30px;
	margin-top: 15px;
	margin-bottom: 15px;
  	position: absolute;
  	height: calc(100% - 28px);
  	width: calc(100% - 22px);
}
.MMM-SystemStats  {
        color: #CEF6CE;
        } 
.MMM-MyCalendar {
  max-width: 300px;
}

The image is called “background9.jpg” and has been placed in the “home/pi/MagicMirror/css” folder.

I needed to play a little bit with the margin’s, until it fits perfect. Keep in mind that your picture should fit the screen resolution. It shouldn’t be smaller. if it is, you should take a look at the MMM-ProfilePicture module.

@nikobelohlav
I just used the MMM-PIR module for it. It turns the HDMI signal off, and my monitor recognized that via HDMI-CEC/ARC and turns off. When the signal comes back the motor turns on within 2 seconds. thats quick enough i think.
I don’t know if it is possible to change the MMM-Pir-Sensor.js so that not the command “tvservice …” is executed, but a notification will be sent to other modules like the profile-switcher. Maybe you should open a new thread, even if I don’t quite understand why you don’t want to turn off your monitor.

The scrobbler module was a little bit tricky. First you need to register your apps, to share the current playing music with last.fm.
I actually just use Spotify, so in the Spotify-settings of my phone, tablet and macbook i needed to login to last.fm via the Spotify app.
Sometimes i got the same problem as you, but its not a failure of the module. I played music and checked on last.fm if there is actually scribbling something, but there wasn’t. Then i turn back to my Spotify app and just log out and log in again (to last.fm in the Spotify settings) and that brings the scrobbling back.
So its more a bug, that happens sometimes, cause Spotify didn’t correctly streams to last.fm i think.
When u don’t pause the music it should scrobble continuous.

Also keep in mind:

When is a scrobble a scrobble?
A track should only be scrobbled when the following conditions have been met:

The track must be longer than 30 seconds.
And the track has been played for at least half its duration, or for 4 minutes (whichever occurs earlier.)
As soon as these conditions have been met, the scrobble request may be sent at any time. It is often most convenient to send a scrobble request when a track has finished playing.

Ja im Winter ist es manchmal schlimm mit den Hundis ^^

I really like how you integrated the motion sensor! The rest is a little bit too much “screen” (as opposed to mirror) for me, but I can see the appeal. I like it.

i know what you mean ^^
But since i found out how many things can be shown with the MM, i couldn’t let it be :D
Maybe the background is “too much”, but i like it anyhow XD
but if i turn on the room lights, its bright enough to use it as a mirror :P

Whatever you like is how your mirror should be.

Again, well done, mate. :-)

Peace

Hello, is a really awesome mirror really!!!

one question, how can i get the header over the qr code picture?

thanks

cruunnerr

@fischi87

Just type a header in the config:

{
    			module: "MMM-EasyPix",
			header: "WLAN-Code",
			position: "bottom_left",
			config: {
				picName: "guest_wifi_config.png", // Enter the picture file name.
				maxWidth: "150px",      // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
			}
		},
