@morozgrafix Thanks! I am pretty late, but congrats to you and all the other new moderators.

That’s cool. I also found a website where I can just get the .ics file, so I’ll play around with it, and see what works.

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to incorporate the Amazon Echo Dot into the Magic Mirror. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me.

After updating MM from Remote-Control, when I rebooted I got a black screen. I realized that npm install was necessary, so everything works now. Only I thought that updating from Remote-Control would allow me to completely update without having to touch my mouse and keyboard. Is it supposed to?

Oh. I understand now.

I was doing some research, and I found what’s called an “Air Bar”.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add that to the magic mirror in any way to make it touchscreen? I’m thinking of developing a module for it if it is possible to use the Air Bar. Also, if anyone has any cool ideas for modules related to the ones I’ve suggested, just post them here.

I was wondering how to backup my SD card. I already have Win32DiskImager installed on my computer, but I wanted to know how exactly to set up a backup in case something happens to my raspberry pi.

@cowboysdude I completely agree! Working on my Magic Mirror is the highlight of my day. I just wanted to suggest different ideas that popped into my head (many of which already became modules before or soon after I posted here), and I do recognize the work that many people put in to this project daily.

@slametps I didn’t do anything to alter the config file except change what was already there for the calendar module. I fixed settings from the top right corner of prayerwebcal.appspot.com. Once I got everything the way I wanted, I just replaced the default calendar with my new url.

{
                module: "calendar",

		header: "Prayer Times",

		position: "top_left",

		config: {

			calendars: [

				{

					symbol: "calendar-check-o ",

					url: "http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/0.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=-300&s=0&j=0"

				}

			]

		}

	},

I installed the module, but when I go to the website it says : “This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this”

What does this mean? What can I do to fix it?

@Mar What happens when you try npm start?

@slametps Thanks! This’ll work much better than the calendar method.

@slametps While looking at this on GitHub, it seems like it plays Adhan as well. Is this correct? If so, could I make it not play Adhan, or does it come standard with the module?
I’ve been looking for a module like this since I started. Thank you.

Now I know that my problem wasn’t that I was not signed in. I probably shouldn’t try to have two versions of the mirror (one as a backup on GitHub and one that is showing). Maybe this is somehow messing things up for me.

Currently I have two Magic Mirrors on my raspberry pi (one in desktop). My main mirror is not on GitHub. The other one was forked from the main project. My issue is that when I do npm install && npm start or just npm start from the second one’s directory, it only shows my first mirror. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there such thing as npm uninstall or npm stop ?

@strawberry-3.141 Come to think of it … It didn’t even show the changes when I did git status. I wonder why this is. Yes I did commit my files.

@strawberry-3.141 Oh yeah! when I do git push it asks me for my user and password. However, it says that everything is up to date when it isn’t. Maybe I did something wrong.

@strawberry-3-141 ( or anyone else who knows what they’re doing )
The only way I was able to make the changes I wanted was to go on GitHub.com
I would like to be able to push changes from my pi, but I think that doesn’t work since I can’t sign in. What do I do?

I am also new to GitHub. It won’t let me do git push because I am not signed in. However, I don’t know how to sign in without creating another account. Could someone point me in the right direction?
