That’s pretty nice! I like the classic look.

I’m a pretty heavy user of Google Calendars (16 different calendars between me, the wife, and the kids) and I definitely recommend MMM-CalendarExt3.

Description:

This module checks an e-mail address for new e-mails and displays the subject line on the Magic Mirror. This allows you to post an announcement for all to see or provide information (current wifi password or soup-of-the-day?).

I wanted something like this decades ago (in the time of pagers) but the technology wasn’t available or accessible. Now we all have cellphones and text messages so this is likely not terribly useful but I still wanted to implement the idea.

I’ve tried to document it adequately and done my best to test it but do let me know if you have questions or find a bug.

I’ve updated the module list:

Apparently, GitHub’s automated abuse detection decided I was a bad guy and did indeed shadowban me. (They probably talked to my kids or something.) Anyway, it looks like it’s fixed now.

FYI, I’ve published and posted in the modules/showcase forum.

@sdetweil

Ugh. My apologies. I did the stop/start and rebooted and did it again and now it’s showing up on the screen. Must have been a temporary glitch or something.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

@KristjanESPERANTO said in [MMM-MailMessage] Send messages to your MagicMirror via e-mail:

@UncleRoger Nice. Do you want to add it to the list of modules?

I should do that. I will do that. Thanks for the reminder.

I don’t know if this will work for you but I’ve set up a google calendar called “Dinner Menu” that I use for planning meals for the week. I enter an all-day event for each day with the main dish and, occasionally, sides. Actually, I mostly duplicate previous events as I’ve put the ingredients in the description for most of the meals to help with planning the weekly shopping.

I’m now setting up a MagicMirror and am using an instance of the stock calendar module to list the next 7 days of dinners. (One of the primary reasons for setting this up is to get my son to stop asking “What’s for dinner” every day.)

Here’s what it looks like on the MM:

Actually, that’s from a few days ago; I got rid of the icon on the left for a cleaner look. So far, it’s pretty much solved the problem and it’s not even properly set up yet.

I haven’t looked into recipe modules yet; I might look for a calendar module that can show the description for an event to show today’s meal and the comments I’ve entered for it (usually a list of ingredients) but that’s down the road.

@KristjanESPERANTO

As a heads up, MMM-SFMuniBusTimes (https://github.com/vikramraja1995/MMM-SFMuniBusTimes) no longer works due to Muni switching APIs. I’ve looked at it and have info about the new API but, honestly, I’m like a bumblebee in the deep end of a swimming pool.

Looks like there are some definite errors, perhaps due to it being a 1024x600 monitor?

I set up MM on a Pi Zero 2 and told the install script to not start MM on boot because I wanted to be able to play with it from the command line. Now that I’ve got it mostly where it needs to be, I tried to switch to having it start at boot using the fixuppm2.sh script.

Now it seems to be running after a reboot (I can access it from a web browser on another system) but nothing shows on the attached screen.

It’s a Pi Zero 2w attached to a 7" LCD screen from Amazon using HDMI.

In config.js, I have this set up:

let config = {
        address: "192.168.xxx.xxx",     // Address to listen on, can be:
        address: "0.0.0.0",     // Address to listen on, can be:
                                                        // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                                                        // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                                                        // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                                                        // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
        port: 8080,
        basePath: "/",  // The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
                                                                        // you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
        ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "192.168.xxx.0/24"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses

On the other MM I’m working on (Pi 4), I use this to start it:

mmstart ()
{
    cd $HOME/MagicMirror;
    DISPLAY=:0 npm start
}

Am I missing the “DISPLAY=:0” somewhere?

Thanks!

@brentmatthews said in My kitchen dashboard (incomplete):

I am also thinking of going to a pages scenario where the clock mainly shows with a background image all the time until the pi is triggered somehow to show the other modules.

I am working on a MM project as well and I’m using MMM-Pages with a macro keypad from AliExpress (Like this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806121717796.html) and MMM-Keypress (https://github.com/ItsMeBrille/MMM-Keypress) to control it. You could also use an inexpensive external numeric keypad or even just a keyboard.

How to get MMM-transitfeed working on a new installation of MagicMirror (based on @sdetweil’s assistance)

These are the steps I went through to get the module working after encountering version mismatch errors:

Note that I was starting with a clean install of Raspberry PiOS. I made no changes prior to the steps outlined below:

First, I installed MagicMirror using Sam Detweil’s script:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

Next, I installed the transitfeed module:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
  git clone https://github.com/bnitkin/MMM-transitfeed.git
}

Then this reset the libraries:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror
  rm -rf node_modules
  git checkout package.json
  git checkout package-lock.json
  npm run install-mm
}

I installed the electron rebuild package:

npm install @electron/rebuild

Next, I reset the module info:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  rm -rf node_modules
  git checkout package.json
  git checkout package-lock.json
  npm install
}

At this point, I installed gtfs:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  npm install gtfs
}

And lastly, I rebuilt sqlite3:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
}

Here I added the default config from the module’s github page to my config.js and started the mirror. It worked!

Many thanks to Sam for his patience, knowledge, and caring assistance.

@sdetweil said in Difficulty getting MMM-Transitfeed working:

is this closeable?

Definitely. Thanks again!

@sdetweil said in Difficulty getting MMM-Transitfeed working:

ok, let see if wee can clean up and try again

so we are going to reset the MM loaded libs and the module loaded libs

That worked! Yay!

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate all your help. You are truly amazing.

My next step is to figure out how to get to the same point with my actual dev system before making the same changes to the production system. That and how to get it to work with my local transit system’s feeds.

@sdetweil
It said “Rebuild Complete” but nothing about sqlite3.

@sdetweil

Still no luck. 8^(

I was getting a bunch of errors during the MM install which some googling suggested might be due to insufficient power (which is odd because I was using a big power supply) so I switched to an RPi power supply and still got the same errors. So maybe they’re somehow related? The errors are:

During MM Install:

(node:27144) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 close listeners added to [TLSSocket]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

During the Electron stuff:

(node:42678) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 close listeners added to [TLSSocket]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
