MMM-MagicMover

C-son

Hi all!
I recently made my first MagicMirror² addon. I call it MMM-MagicMover, and prevents screen burn-in.
Installation and more information can be found here: https://github.com/Lavve/MMM-MagicMover

What it does is to randomly and smoothly move each section a couple of pixels up/down/left/right.

Suggestions for improvements are totally welcome. :)

Hmm very usefull module here thanks.

It will come very handy once I’ve setup my daughter 24/7 smart mirror!

@Cr4z33 Thanks for feedback, and good luck with your daughters mirror :)

hi C-son thanks for your module, I’m just building and trying out my mirror and avoiding burn-in sounds like a great idea.

I’ve been slowly configuring my mirror and started using the module MMM-BackgroundSlideshow as well. I’m finding that if I enable MMM-MagicMover then my background images don’t show (I just get my Clock, Calendar modules etc. displaying on a black background). If I disable MMM-MagicMover then the background images from MMM-BackgroundSlideshow are displayed under my other modules ok like before.

Do you know if there’s a way to run both modules at the same time? I’ve experimented with changing the module position values in my config.js but it didn’t seem to help.

(My MMM-BackgroundSlideshow is in position: fullscreen_below incidentally)

thanks for any help anyway

@raymondjspigot thank you for your bug repport. I will try to find a solution for this.

Installed new version today, and now the middle column of items are pushed way right. don’t seem like anything is moving around either.

Anything I can do to fix it, or should I wait?

C-son

@BKeyport hard to say since I have no idea what other modules you’re using. It’s also hard to anticipate what and how other modules available for the Magic Mirror will affect Magic Mover. :)

@C-son Apparently, updates you did between my post and my capturing screen shots fixed it. It’s now working normally after another git pull.

Thanks!

@BKeyport awesome, thanks for getting back to me!

A new version of MMM-MagicMover is now released. Now you can add regions that shouldn’t be included, by adding them to an array:

{
  module: "MMM-MagicMover",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 60 * 1000,
    ignoredRegions: [],
    maxMove: 20,
  }
}

Valid regions are: '.region.top.bar', '.region.upper.third', '.region.middle.center', '.region.lower.third' and '.region.bottom.bar'.
