      @cheapdad thx, but it not about me… just the expectations are different than the objectives this is a learning tool, which CAN be used in a lot of different ways… it is NOT intended to be an assembly line kit

      @cheapdad said in Changing size/font for a module but not the whole region: .MMM-calendar isn’t that .MMM-Calendar case matters also read this https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14862/help-with-a-couple-css-issues?_=1625369547195 about how to use the developers window to test out the changes needed one thing not known then once you figure out the settings, you can copy paste the top right window to paste into your css entry in custom.css

      @george all of my moniors display ‘no input’, some have blue background, some red… all go to power off after 15 minutes of no input (and the ugly screen) two of my monitors also power off when I hide all the modules… so one solution I have is a 1 second wake up every 14 minutes and 58 seconds…

      @betinaj FWIW, that module is where I got the inspiration to start MMM-Multimonth (I needed 3 months at a time, one forward, one back). If you don’t care about events on the calendar, you could use my module and set it to one month (although, I’m playing with adding events from calendar). If you do, there’s a much more elegant solution in MMRize’s MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda - it’ll take over display of both the built in calendar and a month of data in a mini calendar form, and is much more configurable. Both of these are fully functional, will remain so, and are fully supported.

      @integria92 the qrcode takes some text and makes it available to the scanner it can be anything IF the text is a url, the client app offers to open it so, you config the module with a dummy url https://github.com/evghenix/MMM-QRCode and the the script additions change it to the machine IP address at the time mm starts. which the op’s daughter in college would not generally know. if the machine was powered off for a day/week, it’s ip address would likely change, and so a hard coded ip address would be bad. this code handles any dhcp address change and then the qrcode launches remote controls expected remember, until mm starts, the config.js is a useless text file

      @cheapdad well, its only a start https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14862/help-with-a-couple-css-issues?_=1619795022054 css is an enormous topic… this is the fastest way to see what works… (altho because it changes the topic, its hard to work on some of it… ) https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6808/css-101-getting-started-with-css-and-understanding-how-css-works?_=1611671889049 you will need to change the width of the surrounding elements. newsfeed already provides a couple css styles (which you can override in custom.css

      @sdetweil That did it; thank you! Interestingly, I still don’t see a control menu on the mirror. I can access it through another device, though, so that’s good.

      @cheapdad The forum is for crap at times… someday maybe perhaps some magical moment will occur and someone will actually fix it.

      I’m ready to start building. I’ve disassembled my monitor. The power button is a blister type. I plan to glue the entire strip of buttons on the back of the LCD and use a sharpie to mark what they are. I plan to run the power cord for the monitor and the pi into a 3 into 1 adapter and then run an extension cord from the adapter to the outlet. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? On the PIR sensors, I’ve got one in my Amazon cart, I’d like to get the pre-made wire harnesses for it, but it seems like the smallest number I can purchase is 120. I only need a few, in the event I make a mistake. Any suggestions/ CheapDad

      @bert269 said in Help me choose my hardware: Hi. I also have a Dell(not sure the model) with DVI, VGA and DP outputs. Since I use the rPi 4 I got a converter cable from mini HDMI to DVI cheaper than HDMI to DP. So I went that route and it works fine. I would be really interested to learn how you manage to setup Google Assistant, once you reach that point, as I am really a hard time to do it. The problem that I found is that Google keep changing their device registration websites and I cannot find any updated guides to step one through this -really annoying. In regards to the microphone, I am using a USB model from Amazon which works just fine: https://www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop?ref=ppx_yo2_mob_b_pop__np_5_pp&orderId=111-3131203-6936200&lineItemId=lpkisvksqpotsny&shipmentId=DkND6yTsW&packageId=1&asin=B0779PKLV9 I have not decided if I want to go camera yet or not. Also, I went with the mirror film and are pretty happy with it. It was my first attempt and although it did not come out 100% smooth, I am still very happy with the result. I am very curious to see how you manage to get Google Assistant installed and to learn from you, please. Thanks. Thanks @bert269 !
