Magicmirror touchscreen tablet dashboard

[CobraRL_]

@Axel51 I did a bunch of small changes to the JS like adding extra class names, adding extra wrappers, and removing the sounds because I found them annoying. The extra class names and wrappers helped me with the css. Hopefully the css variables are self-explanatory that it still makes sense.

Let me know if you need me to clarify anything!

Here’s the .css code

.MMM-KitchenTimer div {
  display: grid;
}

.MMM-KitchenTimer .text {
  font-family: var(--font-primary);
  font-weight: 300;
  font-size: 12rem;
  color: var(--secondary-background-color);
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 1;
}

.MMM-KitchenTimer .paused {
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6);
}

.MMM-KitchenTimer .button {
  font-size: 20px;
  font-weight: 300;

  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  min-width: 6rem;
  aspect-ratio: 1;
  border-radius: 100px;

  background-color: var(--primary-background-color);
  color: var(--primary-foreground-color);
  backdrop-filter: blur(var(--blur));
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(var(--blur));
}

.MMM-KitchenTimer .list-container {
  display: flex !important;
  justify-content: center;
  gap: 1rem;
}

Here’s the .js code

Nice job on this. I was also thinking of going the tablet route with MM. I never thought of the server approach, which seems to make it a lot easier. Although I’m guessing streaming video wouldn’t work out so well (if I wanted to implement that).

Question: How did you set up the client on the tablet? Is it just a full-screen web browser?

[CobraRL_]

@wfsaxton Yeah its just a fullscreen browser. I’ve tried doing google cast and a smart assistant on it but neither of them worked for me.

[frentemorao]

Your project is quite interesting.
I also have a pizero running MM on server mode and a tablet as a dashboard.

I would like to know how you manage to move between the different screens as it is a fullscreen browser.

Thanks in advance

[sdetweil]

@frentemorao he uses the MMM-Pages module which creates logical pages by showing and hiding modules in groups.

[frentemorao]

@sdetweil thanks for the explanation but I am afraid it’s not the answer I was waiting for…

I understood he touches the screen to move between pages. Am I right?

[sdetweil]

@frentemorao I doubt it, pages will cycle thru, mmm-carousel can too.
I haven’t seen a module that does touch screen swipe. I have seen swipe with additional sensors

here’s a talk about mouse gestures in browsers

Hi,
you can use MMM-Touch to react to swipes. I am not sure if it works with pages but it does with the MMM-ProfileControl.

[sdetweil]

@wishmaster270 very cool…

[frentemorao]

@wishmaster270 do you think this solution will work in a tablet considering the server is in an external rpi?

[wishmaster270]

@frentemorao Did not test that. I have it running on the same Pi in my case. But as MMM-Touch only sends notifications to other modules I do not see a reason why it shouldn’t.

[frentemorao]

@wishmaster270 I can confirm you that it does work in an Android tablet !!!
Now I have to figure out how it interacts with Pages (and MMM-Remote-Control)
