Funny things those modules…people make them, give them away and they have no further plans on doing anything to them.

Some build them for their own use and share with the community expecting users to use it if they wish, improve it if they wish. No two mirrors are alike and sometimes you run into these issues.

It may yet work but if someone wants to use it they may have to do some work on it and solve some issues to make them work.

I’ve found that not everyone is a life long MagicMirror person… they come, they build they leave… it happens.

@Fozi I’m pulling it from NOAA. What you’re looking at is actually 7 different modules I made put into different regions.

Now shows how much daylight is left and “Time Left” and updates every minute ;)
Under the “Forecast” to the right it automatically rotates through all the days on the left day and night to give you a written forecast.

Nice job!! Looks great!!

@sdetweil Thank you! Thank you for the help in figuring out some of my mistakes :)

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…

Depends on which pi and version of Raspbian you are running.

If you’re using a Pi, no. The Pi is limited and can only do so much. PLUS what other modules are you running at the same time that use up the CPU?

@lavolp3 10 is impossible… You’d need closer to at least 30… I agree with you.

@uros76 same here. I tried the Pi4 and had issues so I went back to the 3 and all the issues went away… so mine also sits waiting for the next project ;)

Thank you for the info!!!

@uros76 said in UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.:

@cowboysdude scripts works fine with my pi3.

It seems pi4 has different way of putting a monitor to sleep, I never figured out how to do it on pi4.
Instead, I tested lubuntu on pi4 and managed to put it to sleep with this mouse click script linked to PIR motion:

xdotool click 1

I can share more details on lubuntu setup if needed.

Yes it works great on a Pi3… :) I am still using it for that…

Yes please… I’d like to update the script for Pi4 but haven’t been able to get it working…
Thank you!

@bachoo786 I have discovered that in the newer versions of the operating software for the PI that my scripts do NOT work any longer as the commands to turn the monitor on and off have changed… I have as of yet to find the correct command lines to make it work. I tested for 3 days and couldn’t get it to turn back on… It’s not MM…

@uros76 said in MMM-News:

MMM-News

Oh I see. I don’t have an api key for that so I can’t really test that one ;) I know you’re setup is not what you wanted but not really sure why running 2 of them is not working without being able to test it.

Here’s an idea… setup up 2 of them again and when you run your mirror run it in ‘npm start dev’ mode and see if you get any errors in the console.

@uros76 sure it is… see picture below…

Just using the stock newsfeed in MM…[I DETEST CNN but needed a quick example]
You can then use them in the same region or put one each in different regions.
The example is both using bottom_bar but I did try and put one in bottom_bar the other in middle_center and still works… ;)

[Just remember IF you copy the below code and put it in your config.js it will give you an error… you have to change the quotes “” or ‘’ because they do NOT copy correctly].

{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "CNN",
						url: "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_latest.rss"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},

There’s a magic button in the upper right hand of the forum… try starting there ;)

It won’t get any easier then this…

No but you need at least a pi… hook the sensor to the GPIO pins…no bread board is needed.

WOW that looks fantasic!!!

@Sean makes perfect sense!! I guessed that was Google … I could only offer that much help as I don’t have time to really look at it either.

Thank you for the response and someone with more time could take a peek at it.
