I can’t seem to find a way to do this with any of the calendar modules out there…
What I want to do is have a calendar module that will display the next appointment/item on my calendar with no details, as my display is in a public place.
“Your next appointment is at 3pm” or “your next appointment is 55 minutes from now” type logic.
Is there a way to get any of the existing calendar modules to do so?
Thanks!
My local glass shops all have “MirroPane” glass for two way mirror type applications. Has anyone used this for our application? Does it work well?
I believe this is the product: https://www.pilkington.com/en/us/products/product-categories/special-applications/pilkington-mirropane
Cron.
# m h dom mon dow command
15 2 * * * sudo reboot
Why 2:15 you might ask? 2 AM daily my camera reboots and usually corrupts the display - takes about 10 minutes for it to restart where it don’t, and 5 more minutes to make sure it’s clear of it’s reboot and upgrade routines.
I recommend https://crontab.guru/ to help you build cron tasks.
Believe it or not, I found that OMX is by far the most stable of setups in my use case. Odd, I know.
I do restart my Mirror daily, however.
@keyun21 You have to set up a pay account, including a credit card, but they give you a specific number of free accesses, and if you keep the module to a timeframe that you’d normally look at it, you’d have a hard time exceeding those uses.
I do two things myself to make it sane.
1st, I use geany to edit. It’s a dream to work with, and keeps all my { with my } …
2nd, I’ve reorganized my config file as follows (Config options and modules removed to protect secure data).
/* Magic Mirror
* Live Config
* By Brendan Keyport
*/
var config = {
modules: [
// top_bar
// top_left
// top_center
// top_right
// upper_third
// middle_center
// lower_third
// bottom_left
// bottom_center
// bottom_right
// bottom_bar
// fullscreen_above
// fullscreen_below
// Hidden & Background
// End modules before this line, do not edit below
]
};
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
Couple of suggestions.
I’m hesitant to donate because I don’t know what the money is going for, nor where it goes.
Same situation, tho… If the heat was a problem before, it would have been handled. :)
Most screens are designed with plenty of holes in the case to allow ambient heat to flow out. There’s really not that many screens that get hot enough to warrant heat control other than passive (holes).
It does not, I didn’t care if I had speakers or not, as I’m running a silent setup.
I’d just run a fan through a couple of extra holes in the frame… Easy – if you get the right voltage, you could just use the pi for powering it.
I grabbed an ACER KA270H Abix - because it’s thin and has very little face plastic - so I don’t have to take it apart to use it. Ended up taking it apart anyway to see if the name badge bar is removable to make no face plastic, and it is… Pulled it off, black taped over the metal piece it hid, and have the button bar ready to move to an edge.
You have to be in the MM directory, FWIW.
I have a script set up in my root directory:
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run config:check
cd ~
I suspect you’re not addressing the video correctly.
https://www.ispyconnect.com/sources.aspx - check your camera model for full URLs.
I have three MM’s running. My home and work ones, and the test MM.
That test one is regularly reinstalled down to the OS (yes, I’ve screwed things up THAT badly)
that’s sounding like you monitor is going bad, honestly.
PIR-Sensor just turns on and off your monitor… The rest sounds like a failing backlight.
Stacking is great, but for those of us that have landscape mode monitors, that becomes useless rather quickly. I’d rather have the modules sit next to each other.
My one mirror at home will go Portrait mode eventually, so the stacking will work… the one at work (due to a broken part) will always be landscape.
I’d love to see this - I’ve got a ton of dead space on my MM because of the lack of 5 columns of info.
