Wider Veriety of Modules For Different Kinds of People
-
Hi all,
I have been using the magic mirror for a couple weeks, and it has occurred to me how great the system really is. As a Muslim , I have to stay on top of all of my religious duties, so I was wondering if there are any other Muslims out there with more tech knowledge than me who are able to develop modules for Muslims such as prayer times ( islamicfinder.org/ ). I also would suggest that different modules be made to help people with their everyday lives. Again, these are only suggestions, but I hope all of you tech savvy people keep doing what you’re doing to make everyone’s life a little bit easier.

I am working on a project that uses the raspberry pi to monitor and control the irrigation of plants. Is there any way to create a custom module for that sole purpose? Anyone who knows please respond because this project’s deadline is creeping up on me.
-
I was doing some research, and I found what’s called an “Air Bar”.
https://www.amazon.com/Neonode-Airbar-15-6-Display-touch/dp/B01N3MHMSF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483878889&sr=8-1&keywords=air+bar
Does anyone know if it is possible to add that to the magic mirror in any way to make it touchscreen? I’m thinking of developing a module for it if it is possible to use the Air Bar. Also, if anyone has any cool ideas for modules related to the ones I’ve suggested, just post them here. -
From now on I will use this topic as a way to just give ideas to the community. If I think about anything that would be nice to put on my mirror, I will post it here, and I invite others to do the same.
-
@AAPS since the airbar is USB based I don’t think you would need to make a module for it and it should work by itself
-
Do you think I could use it with just one AirBar, or would I need to put 4 around my mirror? I guess it just depends on the size of the mirror itself. I’ll do more research, but it seems like this would be a low-cost way to add touchscreen to my Magic Mirror, so I’ll test it out.
-
@AAPS only one would be enough, however the airbars are available in a few fixed sizes, so your mirror can’t be that big

Hi, i’m an Indonesian and a muslim. I plan to develop a new one. I’m just finished develop a module to display a random ayah/verse of Quran. Please check : https://github.com/slametps/MMM-RandomQuranAyah.
Hope it useful. -
@slametps Much appreciated. I was able to get prayer times with http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/ and the calendar module, but this will make a fine edition to my Magic Mirror.

How you display this? using iframe or parse the content?
-
@slametps I used the calendar module. First I changed the settings on http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com Then, I hovered my mouse over the link that says “iCalendar Feed”. I replaced the current ical on my mirror with the one I found from the website. It shoul something like this: http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=0&s=0&j=0

There are a variety of modules to choose from already… many people working on more all the time.
-
@cowboysdude which module?
-
All types and kinds right here…
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/7/showcase
Calendars, schedulers, traffic, weather… tons of them. with more and more being developed everyday.
If someone needs something specific they can go the request forum and ask…
As for touch screen there are modules for that too… there are voice modules…
Some requests are met, some are not. Everyone that builds modules do so for free and it takes time… even the MagicMirror itself is free… This is THE one place in my life that I can come to and talk to all kinds of people from all over the world. I like that very much :)
-
@AAPS your calendar module setting?

Yes, that is the first place I read after I installed my first-time MM a month ago.

@cowboysdude I completely agree! Working on my Magic Mirror is the highlight of my day. I just wanted to suggest different ideas that popped into my head (many of which already became modules before or soon after I posted here), and I do recognize the work that many people put in to this project daily. :smiley:
@slametps I didn’t do anything to alter the config file except change what was already there for the calendar module. I fixed settings from the top right corner of prayerwebcal.appspot.com. Once I got everything the way I wanted, I just replaced the default calendar with my new url.
{ module: "calendar", header: "Prayer Times", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/0.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=-300&s=0&j=0" } ] } }, -

{ module: 'calendar', classes: 'default everyone', header: 'Prayer Time', position: 'top_left', config: { calendars: [ { symbol: 'calendar-check-o', color: '#00ffff', url: 'http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/?z=420&l=Bandung%2C+Indonesia&x=-6.8963981&y=107.6750389&s=5&j=0' } ] } },If I copy the URL into my browser, it display the result.

problem was solved. The correct URL should be:
http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/Bandung%2C%20Indonesia.ics?x=-6.8963981&y=107.6750389&z=420&s=5&j=0 -
@slametps Yes, I am very sorry that it wasn’t clear.
