<![CDATA[MMM-SantaTracker]]>I created a quick module that will map Santa as he travels around the world Christmas Eve to distribute presents. This is a quick & dirty module that uses the data from Google’s Santa Tracker suite of applications.

One of the recent changes turned off digests, maybe it turned off notifications.

Thank you for your work in updating the module. I’ve merged your pull request into the baseline. I encourage everyone to update the module and check out the new features.

Update for 2024!

  • Latest version has a more robust image loading which should cut down on missing images.
  • Implemented the overTime variable, which will allow you to override the calculated date & time for Santa’s trip. This is useful for testing beforehand.

Merry Christmas!

Are you updating for 2025?

I forked it and made some speed increases and made processing happen in a node helper which helps if you use magic mirror in server mode. My my powerful server does all the processing and keeps it off the client. Will push up my code

I had this idea too but got lost in the details. What API you using? My idea was to have a lat and long and countdown to when Santa is coming there. Feel free to steal it.
