@sg437 Version of Magic Mirror?

@saltedcod I can’t answer on the module info.

@clebo99 yes, zoom setting will be remembered

Hi everybody!

I currently have an event on my local MQTT server which provides me with the event that sun has risen or has set. This has different consequences around my house, specifically when the sun sets: curtains go down, ambiental lights go on (this last one obviously depending on whether we are home or not), staircase gets illuminated, etc.

I have a magic monitor (on display here) which I want it to be coordinated as well: whenever the sun sets, the theme should set to be a dark theme, otherwise during the day it should be a white(ish) theme.

I have currently overwritten some values in my CSS so that during the majority of the day it displays the light theme, but now I would like to go a step further and implement this so that after the sun sets, the screen is no longer so bright.

Now comes my question: how would you begin to do this? Has anybody already done this before? Can I use some existing implementation to read out MQTT and perform an operation based on such an event?

I can program comfortably (actually pretty new to nodejs!) but I’m just curious as to where to begin. Hopefully you can help me more.

Thanks and greetings.

@AndrewEscobar and this is related to the MagicMirror 2 platform how?

@Macgomes
Are you saying about MagicMirror?

OK, makes sense. Thanks!!

@TazDev Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to change my MagicMirror so it displays Aurabesh for some of the data.

I, like (I assume) many of RPi tinkerers and hackers, make code changes on my desktop or laptop and then use git to push new code to the RPi. Since MagicMirror doesn’t track css/custom.css, the mirror fails to load up if the file is missing.

I tried to come up with a PR to have the loader.js file check if the file exists before appending it to index.html. However, since this is client side JavaScript, it does not have access to the file system and can’t use the fs JavaScript module.

I then tried to use code like:

var fileDoesNotExist= function(url) { var http = new XMLHttpRequest(); http.open("HEAD", url, false); http.send(); return http.status==404; }

to do an http request to the server for the file, but realized that it’s just as bad as the actual http request that tries to load the file and will result in the same errors.

So, I’m posting this here in case anyone has ideas and can help me with creating a PR to solve this problem. It’s not really a bug and not really a feature. Just an error check that’s missing.

Thanks.
