Personalized Widgets with fingerprintsensor

[IM_IBJO]

Hey guys, I have a question. I want to personalise my Magic Mirror with a fingerprint sensor. That means that the people who are registered in the database will see their personalised widgets. Can I somehow create multiple directories for each person who has registered?

Ideally, possible, but heavy modification might be needed. Because;

• What you need is fully personalized MM, not so easy. MM doesn’t consider profile or account by default. Some modules support multi profiles or accounts, but not all modules can do that. And MM doesn’t support dynamic configuration, so you need to restart to apply a different configuration.
• Just what you need is one or two specific modules for personalizing, It makes sense. Just make those modules you need on your own, and connect the fingerprint handler. Handling fingerprints is not a job of MM, so you need to find how to handle it by yourself. Anyway, once you find a way how to work with the sensor, you can build your needed modules by yourself (or with a help…)

@mmrize do you have an example witch module has multi profils? that sounds really complicated for me to be honest

@im_ibjo MMM-FaceReco-DNN is one of the most frequently used .

yes, it is complicated. mm can hide or show modules. your new module has to add everything else

reading the sensor
associate it w a user (and somehow registering the user in your modules context)
have a list of modules to be shown for a user
decide how to handle if they are still present
and then showing just their configured content
