Installation

Clone this repository in your ~/MagicMirror/modules/ folder ( $ cd ~MagicMirror/modules/ ):

Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

	position: 'top_left', // can be any of the postions
	config: { // Optional - will default to 3 months, with one previous and one next. 
	  startMonth: -1, // Define when you start from current month (negative is before current, zero is current, positive is in future) 
         monthCount: 3, //  How many months to display 
         highlightWeekend: false // highlightWeekend if desired, set to true. 
	}
}

Many thanks to kirash for the inspiration with the monthly_calendar module, sdetweil and lavolp3 for the help in coding and CSS work. Without your help, this would just be a pipe dream.

This is a basic module, but I felt it was good enough for release to the public.

Please, if you have any suggestions for improvement, let me know, I’m learning Javascript and CSS as I write this, and I dream of much bigger things.

~~Localization is provided by moment.js and controlled by the master language of MagicMirror. Please file any errors with localizations as bugs with the moment.js team - https://github.com/moment/moment/~~

Please see github for version info and further instructions.

@tippon To speed reinstall - I have my config.js and custom.css symlinked to a common location outside the MagicMirror tree, and a bash script setup to clone and npm install every module I use, and reinstall the symlinks.

easy peasy…

My system backs that up nightly to a private github repository, and bam quick and dirty way to get my system back running when my pi crashes.

MagicMirror Module to display clocks from multiple time zones

After not getting an answer on Sean’s EXCEPTIONAL worldclock module (His first) from the new maintainer, I decided to fork it and start working on it myself. As such, I present to you “MMM-Worldclock”… It’s mostly Sean’s work, with a few fixes here and there right now.

This will be fully supported, much in the spirit of Sean’s work.

This module is derived from default MagicMirror module ‘clock’ and modified. Thanks to michaelteeuw.
This module displays times from around the world.
Modified fork of worldclock by eouia, renamed and improved.

Installation

1. Execute the following commands to install the module:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # navigate to module folder
git clone https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-Worldclock # clone this repository

2. Then, add the following into the modules section of your config/config.js file:

{
  module: 'MMM-Worldclock',
  position: 'top_left', // This can be any of the regions, best results in top_left or top_right regions
  config: {
    // See 'Configuration options' for more information.

    timeFormat: 'hh:mm A', //defined in moment.js format()
    style: 'top', //predefined 4 styles; 'top', 'left','right','bottom'
    offsetTimezone: null, // Or you can set `Europe/Berlin` to get timegap difference from this timezone. `null` will be UTC timegap.
    clocks: [
      {
        title: "Home",
      },
      {
        title: "HOLLYWOOD", // Too long title could cause ugly text align.
        timezone: "America/Los_Angeles", //When omitted, Localtime will be displayed. It might be not your purporse, I bet.
        flag: "us",
      },
      {
        timezone: "Asia/Seoul",
      },
    ]
  }
},

Of course, you should change the configuration values for your purpose.

for configuration options see github.

Updates:

2020-08-06 (BKeyport) Fixed timeFormat per clock to work properly.
2019-02-24 (Sean) offsetTimezone is added.
2017-08-25 (sean) supports MMM-TelegramBot (https://github.com/eouia/MMM-TelegramBot) command /worldclock is added
2017-08-10 (sean) Country flags are supported. HTML/CSS Structures are refined.

** Note: telegram bot may not work in this version, I did not modify that code in the slightest, however, if it’s relying on the module name, it’s broken. I’ll fix it if it gets reported to me.

Thanks to Seongnoh Sean Yi’s (eouia) for his exceptional module and all the wonderful support he’s done over the years. I wouldn’t have the knowledge I have without Sean’s help.

sudo Raspi-config 

Advanced Options -> GL Drivers -> Legacy.

“legacy” and “normal” drivers are the same thing.

The problem with having the mirror and the sensor so close is that the heat from the monitor and the pi itself will mess with the readings of the sensor.

@MMRIZE I’d love to see a plugin store and/or marketplace of sorts. Some other projects uses NPM with a fancy front end web to do so, much like some modules use(d) a web interface to set up the initial config or adjust configs (Sam’s config module, MMM-RTSP, etc)

This would be an ideal marketplace (Simple, to the point, shows everything a user needs) :

Then when the user wants to config:

Homebridge is one of the better ways of doing things, IMO.

Becky Stern walks us through her Magic Mirror design build, including disassembling a monitor, building a frame, etc. It’s a cool setup.

One of the best commands to know is

 npm run config:check

Start at the topmost error and work your way down the file - it’s got lots of problems, but is easily fixed. Also, I highly recommend a graphical type editor if possible - Geany is what I use.

I installed samba on my magic mirror so I can edit with the PC version of Geany and save it right to the Pi. It’s great.

@danybony Monitors without any on/off logos is gonna be a tough one - You’ll want to use HDMI sleep to power up and down the monitor or simply blank it (I’d go for the latter if you’re concerned about a “No Signal” image).

As for the others - you’ll have to experiment - sadly.

General advice:

Get a monitor with a bezel on all sides - why? No lopsided display when you pull it out of frame.

Get a monitor with the cables pointing out one side or the bottom. Why? Pointing out the back will cause issues in install and make it harder to make it compact.

Get a monitor with a built in power converter (110v/220v direct into monitor) - why? For compactness reasons - less work to build frame behind it.

@mykle1 Yeah, I was looking for my modules too. :)

@ub3rdud3 Interesting… very niche, but oddly, I could use this.

@alex2 Could just need a refresh of the core - sometimes over many updates things will stick just because the OS, NPM, node.js and/or Magicmirror have updated so many times and they just get confused.

I generally rebuild my system with every major OS release that supports my PIs. Copy off the config files and start fresh.

@karsten13 No mention of our desktop enviroments in the main release, so I guess it’s up to RPF to what they’re gonna do.

@Hugo the only real thing that is a concern really is the OS. As the Pi foundation (and the community as a whole) continues to move away from old windowing systems into new ones, there may be compatibility issues with underlying tech MM uses as it catches up. As long as node.js and electron moves with the core windowing system we’re fine…

just a dance you do with any open source…

just for information, the real issue is the the lock file is included in the package, right?

@sdetweil Doh. I’m thinking IRS quarters.

Jan, Apr, Jun, Sep. 🤣🤣

No update? I’m thinking today’s the day!

Effective 8/14/2025 - @dathbe has been provided contributor role in my active modules. I’m not ready to turn them over full time, however, I am glad that someone is willing to work with them. I no longer use the modules myself and I’m welcoming a fresh view on the topic, and hopefully the project will continue in a more effective way, including clean up and improvement of my pre-amateur code.

Thanks for the support over my time handling this code - and if I do decide to pick it back up, I know that it is in good hands.

@sdetweil Nothing works, like everything else with MagicMirror. I can’t get what I want due to CSS and it’s stupidity in general.

One less device to maintain. I’ve not decided if I’m gonna abandon my other modules yet or not, but I’m tired of fighting everything opensource in general - and I’m slowly abandoning everything that is that way.

I’m just done…

@sdetweil Nope. Not working. I give up. Just turning off that mirror completely… will find something else to do my calendar on.
