@MMRIZE yes, you have a good point, I will most likely just leave it as is

Hi all,
I’m the developer behind MMM-MagicMover, that prevents screen burn-in. My Magic Mirror is now put down and will probably not be active again for a while, so my thought is to transfer the repo to someone who can take over.

The module has about 30 clones a month, and will probably not need any updates unless something is changed to the MagicMirror² codebase. Latest reported issue is from February '21, and my hope is that this will be an easy take-over.

Are you interested? Please provide me with some information about yourself and a link to your Github.

@c-son If I have a full screen background rotating from Bing or somewhere else, do you think that change is enough to prevent some burn in or would something like this still be helpful for clock, date and other things that maybe are always white and showing up.

Hi @mcaminiti, yes, I believe this module will help to prevent screen burn in if you still have static text or images visible on the screen.

Fairly new to MM and found this module which I think is great idea.

Thank you! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

I didnt know if this burn in was common?

Me neither. :) I just did this module to help those who might have this kind of issue. :)

A new version of MMM-MagicMover is now released. Now you can add regions that shouldn’t be included, by adding them to an array:

{
  module: "MMM-MagicMover",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 60 * 1000,
    ignoredRegions: [],
    maxMove: 20,
  }
}

Valid regions are: '.region.top.bar', '.region.upper.third', '.region.middle.center', '.region.lower.third' and '.region.bottom.bar'.

Hi all!
I just bought a new SD card, a 32GB instead of the current 16GB, thinking that I could clone the current content to the new one. Can I do that, and if so, how? What tools do I need?
I’m working on a Windows machine usually, if that helps.

Hi all!
I’ve installed a Raspberry Pi camera and also the MMM-MotionDetector module, which works perfect. But since this module requires MM² to run at ‘localhost’ and not ‘0.0.0.0’ (due to requirements in Chrome for getUserMedia) I can’t access the MM2 from my PC at http://[MM²-IP]:8080/. As for what I understand the proxy solution mentioned in the README for the motion detector module is for other modules, not for accessing MM² from another device.
Is there some kind of guide for a novice when it comes to these kinds of things, how to make my mirror accessible again?

@sdetweil ok, thanks. I’m trying to solve this by save the timestamp in a file with fs :)

Thanks @Blauenfeldt, but that’s not what I’m looking for. Thanks anyway. :)

That’s my thought as well, the thing is I’m not sure how to do it. Not to store the time each second tho, that will destroy my SD card. But save the start time when I get home, and set the time to 0 when I leave home. And if I need to reboot I will check for the start time value I’ve saved, and if its’ more that 0 I will continue the timer from that starting point.

My question is if there’s a recommended way to store this data, and how should I do it?

Hi all!
I have a Homey device with a MQTT Client who sends out a message that tells if I’m at home or not to my MM². It’s a message containing 1 if I’m home, and 0 if I’m away. If I receive a 1 I start a timer on my mirror telling me for how long I’ve been at home, I.E. 2h 34m 22s. Pretty basic actually.
Now here’s my issue. When I, for some reason, restart my MM², the counter is lost. Is there a way to save the data I’m using somehow? I’m thinking that I can save the start time somewhere, if I have one, and when the MM² starts up I will check for that and continue the timer. But where can I store that kind of data? I guess localStorage isn’t the way to go, or?
