@MMRIZE that would be perfect, yes.

@MMRIZE I wanna do things a little different (of course) - what I’d like is to have CX3 display the calendar symbol only. No title, preferably horizontally. I can get the title out of the way, but the rest of it I’m not quite sure how - for some reason I’m having a hard time deconstructing how you build.

Thanks!

@Toramanderler try here: https://forum.bugsounet.fr/topic/293/help-me-translate-into-your-language

One of the most important things to do is to run npm config:check in the magicmirror directory to catch any errors in your config. Will help you follow through with some of the things Sam has mentioned here.

Once you get the things corrected to satisfy the config check, modules themselves will run at minimum (assuming all the dependencies are in place), and then you can figure out what’s wrong with your config items.

@lavolp3 I have a feeling that Request or another critical module that used to be in the base install is missing.

@Jonae Nicely done.

I’ve used MMM-CommandToNotifcation/MMM-ValuesByNotification for mine, with MMM-Temperature prior to that. Nice to have a specific to device module, though. :)

@beliar that is way old and don’t have CSS support, it’s hardcoded. I might suggest switching to MMM-Multimonth, which is designed to be like calendar_monthly, but is way more flexible, and almost fully customizable. If you so choose, you can even have just one month.

@themoe Most of what you need is the root section of main.css, which you can modify by adding it to custom.css

Here’s the defaults, adjust as you desire. However, I will warn you, you may also have to do it on a module by module basis - many modules don’t use these defaults for even their base text.

:root {
  --color-text: #999;
  --color-text-dimmed: #666;
  --color-text-bright: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
  --font-primary: "Roboto Condensed";
  --font-secondary: "Roboto";
  --font-size: 20px;
  --font-size-xsmall: 0.75rem;
  --font-size-small: 1rem;
  --font-size-medium: 1.5rem;
  --font-size-large: 3.25rem;
  --font-size-xlarge: 3.75rem;
  --gap-body-top: 60px;
  --gap-body-right: 60px;
  --gap-body-bottom: 60px;
  --gap-body-left: 60px;
  --gap-modules: 30px;
}

@MMRIZE Ok, so how do I defeat this for my module? 🤣

@RIKKO14 You also might still need support with MMM-GoogleAssistant - you’ll need to go to Bugsounet’s forums to get that tho. He’s decided he don’t wanna play here.

@ankonaskiff17 take a look at the https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-CommandToNotification module, along with it’s co-module https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-ValuesByNotification

I use these to convert two physical sensor’s API calls to MagicMirror, as well as a JSON format web based outdoor sensor.

@ankonaskiff17 I actually do just that, however, many modules, like this one don’t use the standard variables. So, I have to set each one manually, thusly:

from my custom.css

:root {
	--gap-body-top: 5px;
	--gap-body-right: 5px;
	--gap-body-bottom: 5px;
	--gap-body-left: 5px;
	--gap-modules: 15px;
	--color-text: #ddd;
	--color-text-dimmed: #666;
	--color-text-bright: #fff;
	--color-background: #000;
	--font-size: 21px;
	--font-size-xsmall: 0.75rem;
	--font-size-small: 1rem;
	--font-size-medium: 1.5rem;
	--font-size-large: 3.25rem;
	--font-size-xlarge: 3.75rem;
}

… Example module change:

/* Flipclock - Set size */
.tick-flip, .tick-text-inline {
	font-size: var(--font-size-xlarge);
}

@plainbroke In the future, you should go ahead and look at the css file for the module, but,

.jast-wrapper {
  overflow: hidden;
  --size: 1.4rem; /* <- here seems to be the key, currently 28px per defaults */
  font-size: var(--size);
  line-height: calc(var(--size) * 1.44);
}

1.4rem is slightly smaller than the usual Medium text, for reference, here are the defaults, out of main.css:

 --font-size: 20px; /* Formula for below: font size x rem size */
  --font-size-xsmall: 0.75rem;  /* 15px  */
  --font-size-small: 1rem;  /* 20px */
  --font-size-medium: 1.5rem;  /* 30px */ 
  --font-size-large: 3.25rem;  /* 65px  */ 
  --font-size-xlarge: 3.75rem; /* 75px */ 

If you want to set it to a standard, I would assume you could use --size: var(--font-size-medium);

@MarNog Multiple instances of the calendar module. One with position in place for the ones you want to show with the default module, one without a position for the ones you want to display with CX3A.

@zdenek That’s either bottom_bar or CSS to stretch it.

@MarNog @mmrize made CalExt3Agenda for that very purpose. Most people will want either one or the other, not both - or if they’re like me, run the two modules side by side.

@MMRIZE hey, is there a way to increase the size of the month name header? That’s the one bit I’d like to change on my setup.

I’m now using your module for this month, then mine for upcoming. 😉

@dave462

FWIW,

Right now, there isn’t an official way to “programmatically” pull AmberAlert data from either AmberAlert.gov or the National Center for Missing Children.

An unofficial service with a RESTful API is available at www.missingkidsbot.org that parses the RSS feed from missingkids.org similar to what is outlined below.

@dave462 Hi.

The build of the “Mirror” is up to you. All the software does is provide a modular display. Many people just build out a screen without a “mirror” face.

Take a look through https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules for things you can do with it without programming your own module.

When you install the software, I highly recommend using the scripts at https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts - the rest of the documentation ( https://docs.magicmirror.builders/ ) is great.

Feel free to look at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/12/show-your-mirror for building ideas, and hunt through the rest of the forum for other ideas.

I don’t know of an amber alert module specifically, however, someone else may be able to chime in on that.

Enjoy the fun of designing.

@Kastore http://pinout.xyz will help you with this now, and in the future.

If the IR sensor is communicating via “17” - it’s likely referring to physical pin 11, actually.

I would highly recommend a more permanent solution… For example, https://www.amazon.com/Status-Terminal-Block-Breakout-Raspberry/dp/B08RDYDG6X/

This is a breakout board for the pi - labels all the IO ports, gives plenty of power, allows you to secure your wires so they won’t just pull out, and as a bonus, allows you to see what your pi is doing on the GPIOs. (pretty blinkin’ lights are always good)
