My 1st MagicMirror2

Nice, really clean dashboard

djdwayneanthony

I love this! What a great dashboard! The colours, the layout, the features/modules you are using! I really like the “Hood Family mobile phones” module! What a brilliant way of keeping tabs on who’s in and who’s out! Commute to different destinations, it’s great!

I’m sure none of it is overly difficult to an experienced wizard, me however, it’s like learning Russian and Cantonese at the same time, my mind is melting! haha

Would you be willing to share your config.js.sample, .css and any other relevant info (probably with instructions for the newbies like me) and for others to clone parts of your fantastic design?

@Cato It always triggers when it should. The sensor is quite powerful though in that it will work through stud walls… even with the sensitivity at the lowest setting! Not really a problem as the Mirror is downstairs in the house so when people are in the mirror is ‘on’ but come bed time and when the house is unoccupied the mirror turns off.

@djdwayneanthony Sure,

I have removed api keys, destinations, etc so anything in ITALICS you would require adding your own variable here as described in the modules.

The Modules I used are:
alert (default module)
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Snow (I only configure this ON during the holiday period!)
clock (default module)
calendar (default module)
currentweather (default module)
weatherforecast (default module)
MMM-NetworkScanner
calendar_monthly
newsfeed (default module)
MMM-Traffic (used three times, for different commutes)
mmm-systemtemperature
updatenotification (default module)

You could remove the margins of the MM body, that way you would utilize more of the screen itself, since you have more mirror on the sides of the monitor :)

@broberg I will look into this - will give me a little more room. Cheers!

@djdwayneanthony Also here is my custom.css - it is only colour changes for the Weather forecast and not my work - copied from someone else’s post here…
