Hallo Jalibu, hab ich gemmacht.

I don’t know whether anyone has already done this, but just wanted to share with you something which I have created.

So, I have been using the MMM-Wallpaper module and changing up the sources to find some other wallpapers and I found that I liked the firetv source best. I tried reddit sources, but those tended to contain many personal photos and not quality wallpapers. But after a few months, I found that only the same wallpapers were being repeated, so I dug into the code, and found, as of course, many of you perhaps know as well, there is a fixed cache of firetv wallpapers which are cycled through, and even though the list is long, it’s still finite.

So I started thinking about how can I get more wallpapers for my magic mirror. I knew that there is one custom option in the module which would let me use my own images through a specific folder that I specify in the config. So I started creating a background application that will scrape a wallpaper website, download many wallpapers into a particular location and then, as the config is pointing to that folder, the wallpapers would be new.

But that would mean that I had to go into my raspberry Pi, run the script manually, perhaps changing the wallpaper genre as well to get new wallpapers. So, I made a basic Android app as well with just a drop-down and a submit button. The app, when started, would query my background application in the pi for the list of genres in the site, and populate them in the drop-down. Then, when I select a genre and click submit, it automatically scrapes that particular genre in the wallpaper site, downloads the wallpapers and in the next refresh cycle, the new wallpapers would appear.

How do you like my concept?

@sdetweil Sorry. I thought I had put this in the Calext3 forum, but apparently didn’t. I’ll just re-ask there.

@sdetweil

Sorry.
thx. now it work´s well

Many thx

After playing with various options for countdown clocks, and not really liking any of them, I’ve decided to revive an old module, and make it my way… Much credit to the original author.

MMM-CountDown2

This is a module for the MagicMirror² which can count down the days to a date/event.

This module is an updated version of MMM-Countdown.

Using the module

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

var config = { modules: [ { module: 'MMM-CountDown2', config: { // See configuration options } } ] } Configuration options Option Description position Required Where do you want to place the counter (use standard magicmirror positions) event Required Name of event to count down to (displayed above counter) date Required Date to count down to (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) showHours Decide whether or not to display the hours. Default is true showMinutes Decide whether or not to display the minutes. Default is true showSeconds Decide whether or not to display the seconds. Default is true customInterval Change the update interval which will help reduce load if you are only showing specific time metrics. Default is 1000 daysLabel Choose how you wish to display your Days label. Default is d hoursLabel Choose how you wish to display your Hours label. Default is h minutesLabel Choose how you wish to display your Minutes label. Default is m secondsLabel Choose how you wish to display your Seconds label. Default is m

If either of the above are missing, the module will count down to the New Millenium (3000-01-01)

Version History

V1.0 - Adjust name, Fix counters to show 0# under 10s for all but days, remove unneeded fluff, not allow to go past time. adjust for my uses. Publish
v1.01 - CSS now works through MMM-CountDown2.css - please use custom.css to override as you like.

Planned work Setup more options. Make labels more intuitive/optional. Make sections “optional” under condition. EG: if time left is over 1 day, don’t show seconds. I’d like to work on integrating with calendar module(s), but that’s very long term at this point.

@Varguit glad u got it!

I added a graph about the progress of the CPU-temperture of my RPI3 to my MM via RRDtool:
3b90bc2e-76cd-4e30-a2c4-5434cb843638-image.png
It looks a little bit nerdy, but the temperature is a nerdy hardware characteristic. OK, it is not so beautiful like grafana…but much easier to use.
Therefor, it needs only a few steps to realize it:

sudo apt-get install rrdtool

will install it.
Only one time create the database in the terminal session:

rrdtool create cputemp.rrd --step 300 DS:temp:GAUGE:600:-20:90 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31

Add two tasks to crontab:

2-57/5 * * * * rrdtool update cputemp.rrd N:$(vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c "6-9")

moves every 5 minutes the temperature to the database established above.

0 * * * * rrdtool graph /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/cputemp.gif --start -24h --title "CPU-Temperatur" --vertical-label "Grad Celsius" --disable-rrdtool-tag DEF:cputemperatur=cputemp.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:cputemperatur#ff0000:"CPU-Temperatur" ;

generates once in an hour a graph which will be displayed later. If you like, you can adjust the map legend (“CPU-Temperatur” and “Grad Celsius”) with descriptions in your language.

Now create a file named cputemp.html in the modules-folder of your MM:

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>CPU Temperatur</TITLE> </HEAD> <body bgcolor=#000000> <img src="cputemp.gif"/> </body> </HTML>

and use MMM-SmartWebDisplay in your config.js to show it:

//################################################################################# { disabled: false, module: 'MMM-SmartWebDisplay', position: 'top_center', config: { logDebug: false, height: "180", width:"500", updateInterval: 0, NextURLInterval: 0, displayLastUpdate: false, url: ["/modules/cputemp.html"], } }, //#################################################################################

Based on these steps, some more modifications of the appearance are possible. Please use your favorite search-engine for more.

@karsten13 Thank you… that explains a lot…
I’ll keep my eyes open.

@kfyfeg Hey did you found a solution?

That’s interesting post

I have been searching for this everywhere but just can’t figure it out.

I cannot change the format of the date on the first day of the “week” view. It currently shows as “M/D” but I would like it to show as “D/M”.

I have set the locale for the RPI to en_AU.UTF-8 which I believe is the correct date format (no sure how to check).

Set date format for the view but this only changed the format for the events not the title of the first day.

Set slotTitleFormat for the view but that only changed the other days on the calendar again not the title of the first day.

This might seem minor but this will be an issue for my wife I am sure as for us in Australia this date format is backwards.

@celliott the module hasn’t been updated in 5 years. who knows if it still would work

@unfriendlydevice @mumblebaj

thanks guys.

send me text messages if u think I’ve missed some other troublesome users

@nicoh I do not know, sorry…

@cyw00d Nice! I will definitely be installing this when my Ioniq 5 eventually arrives. Thank you.

@t-moe Why yes there is you can do 1 of 2 ways:

First way:
Add this to your custom.css

.MMM-Openhab .ifr { border: 0; }

OR
In the modules directory where this module is open the css file and where you see this…

.MMM-Openhab .ifr { width: 400px; height: 680px; }

Change it to this:

.MMM-Openhab .ifr { width: 400px; height: 680px; border: 0; }

Should do it.

@sdetweil Thank for the links. It really helped. My issue was not installing the modules within the modules folder. I reinstalled MagicMirror entirely as the program was acting buggy when I manually deleted the folders. Thank you!

@sdetweil thanks

Could someone give an example how to activate / deactivate the monitor (hdmi) with dependency to the ping order?

Like: if pinged device = onlinte then set hdmi := online if not hdmi := offline

Thanks a lot

@chris47803
I have the same issue. Only the headings are displayed
