    Hi,

    I started this project with the intention to create a smart mirror for my bedroom, but after noticing all the awesome modules available I quickly realized that a bedroom display are just not going to be enough.

    So, step 1 was to find a central place in my house where I could mount the screen (LG 19" Flatron) with all the branding removed. I decided that the kitchen was the best spot.

    After I mounted the screen I used a Raspberry Pi 3 to run the screen.
    I used the following modules to get the desired results.

    Standard Modules:
    Alert
    Clock
    Calendar
    Newsfeed
    Hello World

    3rd Party Modules:
    calendar_monthly
    MMM-ModuleScheduler
    MMM-Remote-Control
    MMM-WunderGround
    MMM-Wunderlist
    MMM-Traffic

    I used the MMM-ModuleScheduler in conjunction with MMM-Remote-Control to turn the screen on between 05:00 and 09:00 in the morning Monday to Friday
    and show a set of modules related to my morning schedule.
