Me too. It’s the reason I made this module in the first place.

You’re in luck. I made it a few months ago. You can choose from a nice assortment. The “eye” being number 1.

But i only have a Pi3.

Ok, here’s the thing. It runs just fine on a Pi3. However, if you have a lot of other modules running, especially those that are cpu intensive, you might see some loss of fluid animation. Many modules transitioning at the same time could have the same effect.

Two instances of the module in the config.js, both with the eye selected, will give you a pair of eyes. A little css management and you can get them relatively close together.

So, go here
https://github.com/mykle1?tab=repositories
and scroll down and click on MMM-EyeCandy. Feel free to browse the other modules, too.

Mine is also hosting PiHole and also doing a cron job every hour to test ISP download speeds

I don’t have any processor intensive modules installed.

Then give it a try!

Let me know how it works for you

[cowboysdude]

Well mine can whistle Dixie… LOL

I don’t have any processor intensive modules installed, but I do have ones that seem to use memory like no tomorrow. I have a dual monitor installation (write up and pics to follow within the next few weeks), and both have over 800Mb used

MM1

MM2

Is that normal, as when I started out using the mirrors I don’t recall either using that kind of memory ?

[Mykle1]

@Bob said in What can YOUR mirror do?:

Is that normal?

I really can’t say. There are so many different configurations being used (MM versions, OS versions, types of modules, etc) by users.

I do know that all these things make a difference in performance and requirements. Here is a screenshot of my Pi mirror’s system stats. It runs flawlessly with just 5% of Free Ram. However, this mirror is running very many modules so the Free Ram percentage is expected.

[barnosch]

crap.
that didn’t last very long.
My wife is scared of the eye ;)

@Bob
That value is coming from free -h linux command.

Update

Rather than publish this in a new topic I’ll just report the update here. Evidently, I never made an announcement about this module in the beginning. Go figure.

I added a bunch of new animations.

[Mykle1]

This looks pretty slick. The recent additions to the module are mostly “space” based. It’s my thing.

[cowboysdude]

Well my mirror can dance…can yours?

No, but I dance in front of my mirror. Does that count?
