<![CDATA[MMM sensor+WS2812b and MM CONFIG RESET button]]>This app was made to add some kind functionality to Magicmirrors run on RPis.

App allows you to:

  • control LED strip by sensor and also
  • rreset MagicMirror’s config.js file with a hardware button connected to Raspberry (so config should be set to default values). The operation will be confirmed by three red light blinks.
    Here is short video (press on pic)

Is it possible to know the connection?
Is the switch just a push button or a stop market button?
thank you so much
I love what you did.
