MMM-AddressBook - Display a list of people/addresses
-
Description:
One of the main reasons I wanted to build a MagicMirror was to have an easily accessible list of family members, doctors, and medicines in case of an emergency. I saw how much time it took for EMTs to try and gather that info for my mother-in-law and even then we weren’t 100% certain that the info was correct. So I built a module to display an address book.
In addition to family contact info, medical providers, and medicines we take, I use it to list travel memberships (mileage numbers and such), subscriptions and login info (Netflix, Spotify, etc.), and Utilities with account numbers and contact info. I’ve also added an instance listing our political representatives and important government contact info as we fight to slow the descent into totalitarianism.
It’s pretty flexible, I think, so hopefully others can put it to use.
Screenshots:
A single-column instance
A two-column (the default) instance showing family contact info. (Until recently, we had two kids away at college, so a lot of different addresses)

@UncleRoger I would put those behind QR codes so someone could scan them and save
thus ability to use the text or numbers quickly
vs take a picture and have to rekey it all…nice Idea tho

Thanks for the suggestion!
