Thanks @sdetweil for helping me out making this…this is a ‘whole page’ weather info…

It takes up the entire screen…I’m using Hello-Lucy so it has a page all it’s own…

Progress so far…

NO where near ready for release but it’s in progress.

With MM2 as the backbone … Here it is!
Thanks to strawberry 3.141 for the touch alarm clock it’s working and it’s a pretty powerful little clock! :)

Today I started building my ‘command center’ that will be in my kitchen. It will be a mirror but also the focal point of the house.

I’m using a mini-itx motherboard, intel cpu and 8 gig of ram running with an SSD drive…

Software installed is:
Newest MM2
Voice Control by @strawberry-3-141
MMM-NFL
MMM-NFLweather
MMM-Mail
MMM-Astrology

and default modules [minus - compliments and newsfeed]

The voice software is VERY responsive and I’m VERY happy with it!! Excellent job by Strawberry…

Future plans are:
Lighting control
Thermostat control
Bluetooth door lock control

100% touch screen [have to order ir frame] —!!!DONE!!! as of 3/10/2017 :alien:

So far it’s being tested and it sits on my counter running… or ‘burn in’ as us old computer guys used to call it LOL

I’ll keep you posted as it develops. This is a big project and my hope is to have more voice controlled modules on it :)

So currently I am running MM2 on my bedroom touch alarm clock and I have a MM in my bathroom… so eventually my house will be totally within reach from just about any room or phone! :)

How to help a developer help you.
Making a MagicMirror2 is both fun and educational.
There are many different mirrors….everyone’s is different, unique. That’s not a bad thing but when it comes to helping you figure out an issue it can become very cloudy at best.
So here’s some basic information that will help you.

1. DO NOT change a module core file [that includes the main.js, node_helper.js or css file]
   That’s what the custom css file is for….playing and testing. IF you do and something goes wrong tell the developer what you’ve done so he/she can better help you and try to figure out what you are trying to do and how to best fix it. You may not like the answer ie ‘it wasn’t meant to do that……’
2. Understand above all else including the Mirror software itself that all of this is free to you. Be patient. The vast majority of developers have full time jobs and this is a ‘hobby’…and if they can’t just get right back to you be willing to put something on hold until everyone has time.
   You can do this simply by adding “disabled: true “ at the top of ANY module in the config.js file. This will stop that particular module from running while you wait for help.
   A developer more than likely created a module for his/her own use and decided to share it with the community. They are under NO obligation to help you with it, remember this is supposed to be a project that you actively take part in and not something you should count on others to build for you.
   Like anything new it’s fun and exciting and if everything goes 100% correctly it’s great but more than likely you may run into issues.
   WHAT DO I DO Cowboysdude???
   First…be willing to do some leg work on your own. IF something isn’t working run your mirror in ‘dev mode’………
   HOW?
   In a terminal window simply type ‘npm start dev’………a side window will open and you will see any errors in red. Write down that error because it will help! OR you can do what I did when I first started and had NO idea what I was doing and at the start of this there just wasn’t much help…… I looked up things on the internet. It’s how I got the first version running……I checked the errors and did research and VIOLA…….I got it running!
   WHAT DID I DO?
   Did you change something?
   If you changed something, change it back to see if you still get the error, if not your change is the issue, ask for help.

What did you change?
IF you totally destroy something not to worry simply delete the module and start over. It’s already in your config……so after you delete it you can do another ‘git clone’ and start over. Easy.

Just remember asking for help is not the same as asking someone to do the work for you. I had a TON of help after the forum really got going and when I started I was writing programs in PHP and knew ZERO javascript……here I am today……still learning but writing in Javascript…… I asked for help and YES I got frustrated at times myself but hung In there. Thanks for a few people for that and they know who they are and I don’t need to mention their names. [Thanks Kid ;)]…
SO there you are……
If you’re having issues, ask. If you’re changing files and breaking things, stop. Yes it’s fun to ‘play’ and try new things but I suggest you use a ‘dev machine’ for that and not your main mirror.

The MOST important thing you can do for yourself is read…use the search feature on the forum because more than likely there is already a topic that’s been solved for the issue you are having. What doesn’t help is when people keep creating new topics when there are already a few of the same runs already going. A little reading can save you HOURS of frustration.

EDIT

YES the developer created a README.MD file with the module…take your time and read it!!!

If someone helps you out don’t be afraid to Upvote their helping post!!

This will enable others to understand that someone’s suggestion helped and it makes it much easier to find information for others who may have the same issue!! :)

There it is complete!! :)

Thanks again @strawberry-3-141 for the awesome touch alarm clock! :)

I really just feel compelled to say a HUGE Thanks to @strawberry-3-141 for his infinite patience with me and helping me to pick up js…

With that being said I’d also like to Thank all the developers for taking their time to help, to teach, to offer such a great opportunity, yes opportunity, for others to be able to have a great product built to their liking in their homes!!

NONE of this is possible without all you guys.

I know myself I get frustrated but it’s with myself and lack of understanding… I push myself hard to learn things because hey life is all about learning [I’m a teacher by education]. Currently I am a contractor and own my own business… I build things, I fix things… that I understand and can do easily like so many of you can just program a small module so easily. You guys are truly amazing.

Short story: I’m making a current movies in the US module … I spent two days racking my brain because as my program parsed through the json file it would error on every other one… I tried to find some exotic fix and strawberry walks up to it… changes one line and BAM just like that LOL
I had to chuckle as I’m sure he did too… “eh rookies”… :)

SO for all the people coming here asking for help or trying to learn we all say Thank you!!!

@bkeyport Rude? Seriously? This a ‘project’…that means that YOU are required to do some of the work not just make requests and have people just comply with them. They are not trying to be rude they just don’t have time or desire to build a module for your mirror. Most developers do this for themselves and give it freely to the community.

The REAL problem I see around here is that the vast majority of developers have full time jobs and this is a hobby for them. BUT people are turning their hobby into a full time free job. It’s not how it works.

Developers WILL help you but at times people ask for things that would literally require a developer to rewrite the entire module which, and I don’t blame them, they do NOT want to do.

With all that in mind did you ask ANYONE else for help or just go to the developer and didn’t get what you wanted so now you’re mad? Did you post a topic on the forum asking for help?

This is THE very reason why I quit releasing ANY modules at all. I work all day and ‘tinker’ when I get home but I kept coming home to a WALL of requests to basically rewrite entire modules so instead of showing blue squares it would show red circles…[just a made up example] because one person wanted it that way. I too no longer do that.

Go buy a TV and tell them you want it to be able to come on at 4PM before you get home and turn itself off by 11 when you go to bed…see how that works out for you. Point is they aren’t trying to be rude but what you’re not taking into account is that possibly…maybe…perhaps…they also had a bad day.

I write modules for the ‘majority’…I have had people offer me money to write something specific for them.

So before you come here telling the world someone is rude think about it… you’re just mad because you didn’t get exactly what you wanted. Next time ask the “community” for help OR fork it and try it yourself and if you have a problem ask the ‘community’ to help you. I know they will… I just did that very thing for someone yesterday… they wanted guidance on how to do something…so here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9139/displaying-modules-depending-on-sunrise-sunset-time/2

Asked for help, explained what he was trying to do and VIOLA! Help came…easy as that. THIS, what you’re doing…will get you nothing but more frustration.

I know SEVERAL developers that would have jumped in if you simply asked for help and not did this…

Built with love by me, @Snille, with help from @Mykle1

Didn’t plan on releasing this but due to requests here it is…

This guy writes so many cool modules.

He has like 1000 followers I think.

The man just knows…

Well through determination I figured out the issue :)

There will be 2 branches of this module…the original and the one I call NOAA2

Here’s a screenshot [NOAA2] take up less space, almost ready!!

I am using an RPi3 for my bathroom but the 32" inch mirror I"m using a mini itx board with intel chip 8 gig of ram and 120G SSD.

It has the wireless mini card and the video is amazing. I realize the mirror was built based on the RPi but using a real board gives it that much more power.

So things like @strawberry-3-141 voice module is REALLY fast and responsive. I’m also using an IR touch frame that responds quite well with no additional drivers needed.

Love the RPi but it just wasn’t giving me what I wanted and wanted to be able to do with this project so I opted for more power… :)

Description

Pretty much just getting the bugs out now I’ll repost when it’s ready but in case anyone is interested…
Simple clock with date and your current weather condition.

You can show seconds or not. Weather is a config option [your city name] is all that’s needed.
Color changes to the clock, the day/year and weather will be done via the config file.
