Easy way to keep a mirror from steaming up is rub a bar of soap on the mirror then wipe it off…no steam ;)

@jabellas You are using a pi and they aren’t really powerhouses when it comes to computing. I would try having the video located off of the pi and try it again.

What I did on spring break…

Thank you again Sam for your help!!!

Re: MMM-Astrology

Coming really soon… MMM-Astro…a complete makeover from my old MMM-Astrology module!
Here’s a preview!

New features are: Extended [more info], your mood, your color, your compatibility, lucky time, lottery numbers. Ability to choose 4 different styles of Astrology icons…

I’ve already made a 32" touch screen, now I’m going to do this and build a 24" touch screen.

New Build

I figured why not. I was able to get a 24" IR Frame for 50 bucks and ordered a newer PI cam for PI4. All I’m waiting on now is the camera. I have all the other parts already. So I’m basically replacing my bathroom mirror with this one…

Stay tuned, should be fun!! :)

Description:

Rebuilt AND renamed for 2019!

MMM-Astro

**Currently available in English [Please PM me if you’d be interested in making any other translation files for this ].

@ssauer I understand but here’s the issue with that depending on when a module is made. What I mean is that if a weather module was made 5 years ago it won’t show any ‘hits’ in a voting system. So going to github will give you an accurate view of it’s latest ‘hits’… which to me is an indicator that it works and it’s a good module.

As for ‘downvoted’ that’s not a good idea either. Some people have developed modules and shared with the community. Some developers are no longer here and becuase they offer their modules for free downvoting is a slap in the face. No one can or should expect someone to maintain a free module for life.

The idea of MagicMirror is so that the user can take active part in the development of their own mirror. I know myself have taken someone else’s module and molded to my needs for my mirror which is in all reality is what is supposed to happen. They offer it for free and it’s up to the person using it to modify/fix etc for their own needs.

Matter of fact I’m helping a couple people with a module I didn’t write because like I said the orginal developer isn’t going to maintain it for life. That’s what the community is for. To help, assist and again it’s free. I’m not downvoting a module because someone moved on with their life and don’t have time to maintain something they offered for free because it isn’t working. Modules aren’t a 1 size fits all kinda thing. Sometimes there’s issues because depending on what you’ve done to your own MagicMirror it may cause an issue. This was created and has been maintained as a ‘learning’ experience for users. This basically is an ‘educational’ setting and downvoting would be a bad idea.

I understand what you’re asking for but I don’t see it happening. When the MagicMirror project first started there was very little help. It took me a week to even get mine to start. BUT I took the time, fixed the issues and got it working. I felt good about that because at that point I had NO clue what I was doing and had no help. I am not a programmer, I learned to be one. That was the whole idea here and I am grateful for the experience and the friends I’ve made and the help they’ve given me. This is what this is about. We do live in a [as I call it] ‘buy me, give me, take me’ world where people want instant results. In reality that’s not how things work :)

So a voting system will, in my opinion, deter people from creating. I cannot think of one module developer that would want a voting system. Again they offered for free and if you choose to use one and you have an issue with it come here and ask for help, there are people that are more then willing to assist :)

PS there are a TON of weather modules LOL

Doesn’t matter what you use honestly. IF your monitor gets that hot the finish will be the least of your problems LOL

New config option to hide or show distance column.

example config:

{
          disabled: false,
          module: "MMM-Gas",
          position: "top_left",
          config: {
             zip: "14904",
             items: 10,
             typeGas: "",	//premium, mid-grade, diesel, or blank for regular
             sortBy: "price", 	//distance, price
       distance: false //default is true, so using true just don't use distance in your config
  		}			   
      },

DO a git pull in the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Gas dir to update!

AND a HUGE Thanks to @mochman for all the help!!!

@morozgrafix Yes that’s what I was telling him… a dimmer. I am a contractor so I knew what he was talking about but these are 110V…

There may be a bluetooth connected one out there! :) That may work!

@pflnpi0305

Run that through this: http://javascriptbeautifier.com/

to clean that up… lots of spaces in there… may not be the problem but it could become a problem at some point and it’s easier to read through it when it’s formatted ;)

But I do believe your problem is right here:

That’s not valid… needs to be:

Here is a very good guide on how to setup Linux :)

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop

So what would you suggest to fix it? I mean you know being free software and all that many people spend a lot of time improving…for free.

Once you have Linux installed just follow the MM install instructions…

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

Manual Installation

Download and install the latest Node.js version.

Verison 6
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

OR

Verison 8
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

THEN:

Clone the repository and check out the master branch: git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
Enter the repository: cd ~/MagicMirror
Install the app: npm install
Run the app: npm start
Important: npm start does not work via SSH, use DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start & instead. This starts the mirror on the remote display.

IF you get any errors search this forum or Google your error to see how to fix…

Gotta go to work, Have a good day!!!

@johnnyboy Good, if it helps I’m all for it :)

You’re going to want to use two… trust me.

@McSorley said in Google Assistant Demo and Idea.:

Tried giving the Google Assistant SDK a go. Didn’t work well for me due to my Scottish Accent. If I put on a bad American accent it works well but Alexa seems to be perfect with me.

EVERY American has a bad accent… do your worst LOL
