@wyovino I find a very easy setup to be a server on an RPi3 A+ and the client in kiosk mode on an RPi Zero 2W. This also gives one the option of having multiple clients attached to one server. I’m an (old) engineer and a minimalist so I chose DietPi for my OS. This results in very little lag while easily maintaining them via ssh. Total power consumption at full load is 5.5W (3.2W + 2.3W) versus the 4.6W for the Model 3 B+, but incrementally you get power savings as you add more clients. Cost wise, this is also more effective if you have multiple clients. On the server side, I created scripts to install MM and eliminated the need for pm2 in favor of using services, as this save significantly on memory usage (RPi3 A+ only has 512MB of RAM). DietPi + bare services + dropbear + MM server take up only 194-206MB of RAM. Swap varies from 0-30MB. I do not have a lot of modules running. The basic Calendar, Weather, MMM-RAIN-MAP plus a module I create for to capture and display Ring camera snapshots (currently called MMM-RingSnapshot). On the client side, I created a script to perform the most basic installation which reduces all display resources to bare X and chromium. Total is 240-248MB running DietPi + chromium in kiosk mode with no windows manager. Swap varies from 0-120MB while running. I was thinking of posting the scripts on GitHub, but I’m not certain there is appetite for something that is non-standard for MM. YMMV

@Richard238 generally I recommend sticking with the one that comes w the nodejs version.

@sdetweil What’s the procedure to update that module?

Hello, As a dedicated user of Magic Mirror I am frequently searching for a module for my car, a hybrid Toyota Yaris 2025. I can check my car from inside my house, but a MMM-MyToyota module would be very helpful. I don’t have the skills to build such a module, but maybe there is somebody in this forum who is able to do so. Thanks Pim

@sdetweil Thanks! P.S., I really appreciate all your help, not just for me but for everyone. You really are a rock star!

@Thring I belive that there is NO API for this anymore, not since 2020 I think.

@sdetweil Hello Sam. Thank you for the reply and confirmation. I had seen your post to another person’s CSS question where you shared that tool. I used it earlier today and it showed what you saw. I was hoping that due to my minimal skill with CSS I was overlooking something, but I guess I wasn’t.

@Cybex999 all you should have to do is set the color in the default calendar for each url Make sure you set coloredText:true, Before the url list

as i understand it this module has gone through a few iterations/forks, jclarke0000 > qistoph > radokristof im 90% sure im using qistophs version. Google recently (well… maybe a year ago) consolidated “Directions API” and “Advanced Directions API” into their new “Routes API” and changed the way they billed i uncommented code around this time because i expanded my MM Instances, which led to increasing costs due to the “Advanced API” billing structure. wondering if anyone is aware of similar/identical modules that use the updated API, if not ill probably make it my next project to figure out how similar API calls are between the outdated stuff and the new Routes API.

@TX77ConfigMirror where are you looking for changes?

@nowayto I have made changes to the module to accommodate the API key, however, when I tested it, it did not work for me. The Growatt NPM module states the following: You can get the key by having an email sent to you on the Grwatt website for a third party to display the data. The key is the combination of numbers and letters in the link. It has 96 characters. The API key I am seeing is much shorter than the 96 character key mentioned above and as a result I was getting a 500 error when I was testing it. This is obviously the wrong key. [image: 1776362305283-b6202969-721b-43cf-8278-736251ba6f56-image.jpeg] As such, I am reluctant to push changes I am unable to test successfully.

@VPeter custom.css should only be in the config folder on version. 2.35

@SdR awesome. Sorry it took so long. Got sidetracked by the MagicMirror install problem, which wasn’t the cause

@Megawaldi it is fixed in the develop branch for next release You can get the develop branch, Currently we only release 4 times a year January ,April, July, October See https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14327/testing-new-fixes-or-solving-current-problems-with-next-release-code

Hi guys, i have changed my Philips hue Bridg to the new model . I created a user ID I have the right bridge ID Now there is a problem. Hope somebody can help …[image: 1775289047015-bildschirmfoto-2026-04-04-um-09.38.50.png]

@VinGroot said: I got it working again by switching to the V3.0 API on OpenWeatherMap. And remove these two lines: apiVersion: “2.5”, weatherEndpoint: “/forecast” Yes, OW has moved to their 3.0 api

@Cybex999 can you show the module config? Use the code block wrapper please

So I think the “Suspended” thing is a red herring. I booted up my dev system and watched the console messages there. I saw the same behaviour of BackgroundSlideshow being suspended but it does show the images. I’ll update just MMM-BackgroundSlideshow on that system and see what happens.

@sdetweil Today I notice something. I had to turning off my router for a while, so no internet connection were available for nearly 10 minutes. In that time MM goes black with cursor… so the issue could be internet connection related

Out of curiosity, I backed up my image and then started with a fresh, up-todate install. It works just fine now! No clue why, but it does. I do have a follow-up formatting question – if you look at the screenshot below, you can see I turned off the table header (I like a more compact look). But now the rain percentage isn’t obvious to someone looking at it. I want to add the little umbrella icon to the right of the rain percentage on every day row. Could someone point me to the right place for that? And if there’s a way to figure this out on my own, please let me know. [image: 1774040379849-screenshot-2026-03-20-165301.png]
