    • [MMM-Pages] Different "newsfeeds" on serveral pages

      Hello,
      I am using MMM-Pages on rotation and want to add different newsfeeds on several pages. For example: The New York Times newsfeed should be on page 1, the Spiegel Online newsfeed should be on page 2.
      I copied the module in my config.js and created two newsfeeds. So far, this works without any problems when displayed on the same page.

      But using MMM-Pages I have to decide on which page the newsfeed module appears.

      Can you please help me to seperate the newsfeeds?

      I tried something like [“newsfeed” {name: “Spiegel Online”}], [“newsfeed” {name:“New York Times”}] but this didn’t work for me.

      Thank you very much in advance.
      Regards,
      C. Keen

    • RE: MMM-Rijks

      @eouia

      Thank you for your huge contribution to the mirror project. I really love all your modules and find them quite useful!

      I like the MMM-Rijks module very much because it’s family education!!
      .
      But I have one question: Is there any possibility to place the description of the picture besides it or is the format unchangeable due to the API?
      As I use the Rijks module on a seperate site (using MMM-pages) I would highly prefer the description next to the canvas.

    • RE: Further development of the MMM-Swipe module

      Hi,
      @nowis: That sounds great!

      Maybe you can also take a look at the module shbatm created. I don’t know what the status of the module is he developed but he wrote that it is up to 90% ready to use.

      Although I have no clue about programming I think it should be possible to use the MMM-Swipe module in connection to the MMM-Pages from edward-shen. He also uses some kind of input (skywriter) to give commands to the pages module to switch pages.
      But for daily use I would prefer the HCSR-04 sensors.

    • RE: Further development of the MMM-Swipe module

      Same here for me. The one from mochman didn’t work entirely as intended.
      The fork from shbatm I never tried because he wrote that due to problems using the sensor which his dog did not very much liked the module is not finshed yet. I totally understand that he is going to try another way because he won’t be able to use the sensors.

      Hope there will be more people who want that module finished. I think it could be a very effective way to switch between pages once it is running.

    • Further development of the MMM-Swipe module

      First, a big THANK YOU for all module developers. Unfortunately - and thats the reason why I am posting here - I am a real programming NOOB. I am only able to follow tutorials others wrote and use the good modules others programmed.

      As already mentioned in the header, I want to aks if s.o. is interested in developing the MMM-Swipe module further , using the HC-SR04 sensors. If you have followed the development of the module two guys (mochman and shbatm) have already programmed on this module and I am a huge fan of the idea - hope that it going to work soon!

      Last time I discovered the MMM-Pages and asked the developer if he would be interested in taking over the MMM-Swipe development as pages could be changed by swiping it. Sadly he won’t have time available in the near future.

      I would be very happy if someone is out there wanting to take over this great project!

    • RE: MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

      @roramirez The first loading of a picture when the mirror gets startet is interrupted, only the first few “lines” of a picture are shown, then the next picture is displayed. I have read about ‘getInterval’ command on the github module page but do not understand it completely. Reading the description it seems the same to me as the ‘updateInterval’ command (??) Any suggestions?

    • RE: MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

      Hello,
      I really like this module but experienced kind of a delayed loading of the pictures. I have the raspberry pi 3 running, the pictures (all .jpg) are about 2MB which I think is not such a huge size. Any idea how to excelerate the loading?

    • RE: MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

      Good evening,
      I was quite excited when I read about this module. And since there is the MMM-Profileswitcher, I would really like to know if someone has tried to connect the swipe-module to the profileswitcher? Unfortunately I am a programming NOOB, is there anybody out there who wants to develop this module any further?
      There is the module from thobach at https://github.com/thobach/MMM-Gestures. But I wanted to use the HCSR-04 ultrasonic range instead an arduino …

    • RE: MMM-voice

      At first when I tried to install using the bash script it stopped at the second step (can’t remember exactly why). But second time it worked itself completely through the steps. Starting the mirror I got the “Error” message. Then I read the thread here completely and removed all components necessary.
      I installed it again using the script and no warnings or errors were reported. But still, after “initialising” the Error message was displayed. ?? As described in the error.log I found “127” and in the debug.log the long message I reported in an earlier thread.
      I still have no idea …

      the bold part was not in the file itself (the forum software did it). The file ends with … pkgconfig as can be seen above

    • RE: MMM-voice

      Hi guys,
      I would like to control my mirror by using MMM-voice. The installation was quite easy. But now, the icon on the mirror gives an “ERROR” after the microphone has been initialised. I have read the whole thread and tried a few options but none of them worked. Reading the error.log it gives only “127”. Reading the debug.log it says: “pocketsphinx_continuous:: error while loading shared libraries: libpocketsphinx.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such directory”.

      At first I thought that not all dependencies have been installed correctly althought the installer did not give any warnings or errors. So I thought the I have to install pocketsphinx_continuous and lmtool myself but found them in the node_modules folder.
      Can you please help me?

    • MMM-temp-ds18b20

      Hello,

      first of all I want to make compliments to all magic mirror developers, you do a great job! Thank you.

      I am studying all topics about the magic mirror already for a long time but only now I am assembling my first mirror. Installing the MMM-temp-ds18b20 module I came across a wierd phenomenon:
      Listing the temperature of the sensor (indoor) via the console shows the correct metric value. But when the mirror is running the temperture displayed is in “fahrenheit” (?)
      I have already checked config.js and the unit is set correctly to “metric”.
      But even more weird is that after a little while the fahrenheit suddenly jumps to celsius (the correct value) and little while later back again …

      Has anyone made a similar observation?

      Regards
      C.Keen

    • Calendar function without google oder ical

      Hello there,

      I am new to this forum and do not really know where to place this question. But I am wondering if there is a possibility to use a different calendar option than google calendar oder ical from apple. I was thinking of an excel table where all necessary dates are filled in. Do you think that this is possible? I have to admit that I am aware of the magic mirror since a little while now and want to build a mirror my own. But I do not want to use either google or apples calendar.

      I would highly appreciate it if you could help me with this topic. And even if you have to tell me that it’s impossible to use the calendar without google or apple.
      Kind regards,
      Nizolai
