Not sure what you mean here. Yes, you can have many modules running at the same time. Didn’t you start out with a clock, and a calendar, and a newsfeed, all at the same time?

Ah, there’s my confusion…i thought the magic mirror (date, weather, calendar etc) was one module. :-))
I was wondering if it is possible to have the magic mirror 2 running on the screen with Alexa ‘asleep’ in the background to be woken with a ‘wake’ word and say, a music app playing etc.

Yes, the WunderGround is the one i was looking at…very nice.

Heeds battered…how do i use the wunderground module ??? i have opened the magic mirror config js file i have copied and pasted the block of code (using git clone etc) but it comes up with an error telling me to ‘Please create a config file’ ??? (tried the 3 back-tick rule for code, but this is how it came out)

	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.

	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",
modules: [
{
    module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
    position: 'top_right',
    config: {
        apikey: 'my api i.d. here', // private; don't share!
        pws: 'pws:DH9 6PA', //England
        hourly: '1',
        fctext: '1',
        fcdaycount: "5",
        fcdaystart: "0",
        hourlyinterval: "3",
        hourlycount: "2",
        alerttime: 10000,
        alerttruncatestring: "english:",
	roundTmpDecs: 1,
	UseCardinals: 0,
	layout: "horizontal",
	sysstat: 0
    }
};
]
	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"```

‘top_right’

Well my guess would be that you copied the config from one place to another … replace all of these ` [backtick] with this ’ [single quote]

Then retry ;)

Well, the instructions should be in the README file that came with the module. At this point, you should be making entries without a problem. :-)

I can tell you that the pws: 'pws:DH9 6PA', you are using is no good. I just tried it in mine, with and without the space, which drew my attention.

So, try this when posting code with back-ticks:

Put 3 backticks on a new line and Enter

Post your code under the backticks and Enter

Put 3 backticks on a new line and Enter

And, just in case, NO backticks in your config.js file

You could start a new topic on Alexa, or do a search here on the forum. Other people have integrated Alexa with their mirrors. I have never used it so I won’t be able to help you with that.

No, the backticks I added to try and display the code in my message correctly, obviously didn’t work 😊😊😊.

Just to let you guys know. Magic Mirror works on screen with Alexa (she can’t seem to do much at the mo though, so more investigating and experimenting is going to be needed :-))) still running in the background or vice versa. Still can’t seem to add modules to the original magic mirror though, Wunderground and carousel!!!).
