Description:

During the last 2.5 years my good friend @Viatoris and I have been working on a module that we are proud to present here now.

MMM-FrameLight is a module for controlling an RGB-LED strip mounted onto or embedded into a smart mirror’s frame. It provides features for static background lighting, highly customizable effects on notifications and party lighting and can be used with the following input methods:

• touch control (via IR touch frame or similar)
• MagicMirror² system notifications
• separate voice control module of choice

To contribute own lighting effects and for further details on the module, please read the documentation in the repository on Github.

Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we do. We would be very happy about constructive feedback.

Dear Michael,
thank you very much for creating this project and leading it to its great success over the last decade.
I still remember setting up my first try on a Magic Mirror over night while my wife was working a night shift years ago and working more than a hundred hours on an LED module with my good friend @Viatoris, just because it was fun and we wanted to give something back to this awesome community. Now that my wife and I built a house, I even have a special place on the wall for my upcoming mirror in the living room (with sockets and LAN connections behind it).
I‘m sure, this community is able to take the lead and will keep your great work up. All the best for you and your family!

Dear @KristjanESPERANTO,
as my module MMM-FrameLight has a ReadMe with a lot of animated GIF images to explain light effects, I created a media branch to separate the media data from the code of the module to reduce storage needs on user systems. Is your code able to check different branches for images or does it only check the master branch?

@BravoOscar
Very interesting frame. Looks great and can easily be combined with some more acoustic panels. Glad you shared it 😊

@bballboy21
This looks amazing!

@Saabman @sdetweil
Thank you very much for the kind words. We appreciate them :)

Of course we also appreciate the upvotes. Thanks a lot :D

@bhepler very nice work :D

Dear @strawberry-3-141 ,

thank you very much for replying. At the moment I’m quite busy, too, but I will give this method a try as soon as possible :)

@RdP I would recommend editing your token out when posting code.

Dear MagicMirror-Community,

I just joined the community forum, but I am working on a MagicMirror for some time now.
At the moment, it has every module I want it to have, so I am working on some details.

My MagicMirror is based on a 40" TV with an IR touch frame and I am using MMM-Touch
to control the default newsfeed module with some touch gestures. When sending the
“ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS” notification 2 times, the full news article opens in an iFrame
covering my whole screen (horizontal orientation) except a black bar at the top of the screen.
This hides all other modules except the default weather module which is then black on the white
iFrame background. I don’t know why the weather module is still visible, but this iFrame looks
kind of creepy and is way too big for that screen size (see picture 1 below).

That’s why I would love to use a modal of MMM-Modal of @strawberry-3-141 instead of the iFrame,
so that the news page looks like the gas station map of MMM-Fuel and I can close it by hitting “Close”
with one of my fingers (see picture 2 and 3 below).

Sadly I don’t know much about coding in json or css. So could someone please tell me,
how to modify the default newsfeed module, so it outputs the full newspage inside a modal of MMM-Modal
instead of the iFrame? This would be great :)

Best wishes
