I finally got around to making my mirror presentable, so I thought I’d show it off.

Yes, I do have eventual plans to do something about that brown electrical cord hanging out the bottom.

The guts are a 30" TV I pulled out of its shell and a Raspberry Pi 4B. I used some 1"x3" and some molding to build a simple box frame.

The primary modules are:

alert
updatenotification
clock
MMM-Remote-Control - used for updating several other modules
MMM-CustomText - used to show a message via a python script when there are apt updates for my RPi, and weather alerts via another python script
MMM-EarthquakeAlerts
MMM-RandomPhoto
MMM-MagicMover
MMM-ModuleScheduler - hides certain modules when they’re out of season
MMM-Carousel - rotates through 5 separate pages

Page 1 - Calendar
MMM-CalendarExt2 - It pulls from a generic GMail calendar I’ve convinced my wife to invite to anything the whole fam should know about
MMM-Multimonth

Page 2 - Weather
MMM-RAIN-MAP - only displays when rain is predicted in the next 12 hours
weather - used only to trigger MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast
MMM-MoonPhase
A proprietary module that displays a day/night map of the earth
MMM-Block - adjusts the height of the two bottom modules so they line up

Page 3 - Home Automation
MMM-Rest - several instances; grabs info from my home automation server
MMM-NestRemoteThermostat
MMM-GoogleMaps-Tracking - updated via python script
MMM-Block - to move modules around so they line up

Page 4 - Sports
MMM-MyScoreboard
MMM-MyStandings - multiple instances
MMM-PGA

Page 5 - Info
MMM-SimpleLogo - a logo from our school
MMM-LINQConnectCalendar
MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu
MMM-JsonTable - displays gas prices via a python script
MMM-Pinfo
MMM-Block - multiple instances to adjust things so they line up

The Future
Adding touchscreen capabilities? This seems like a pain that would ruin the aesthetics, but maybe.

FYI, i have taken over maintaining this module and have made some updates. anyone interested can check out at https://github.com/dathbe/MMM-MyScoreboard .

open an issue if you have problems or a suggestion.

@KristjanESPERANTO - while true, I also plan to replace moment when temporal is available

@BKeyport Awesome. Unrelated, but I love your MMM-Multimonth.

Just FYI, I’ve taken over primary maintenance of this module. It is now available at https://github.com/dathbe/MMM-PGA, with a handful of bug fixes.

@sdetweil Maybe I’m wrong, and I haven’t spent a lot of time trying to test it, but I think regular moment will grab the date in the local timezone based on what is set in the system. You can’t do as much with OTHER timezones in regular moment, but I think at least that works. Whereas the regular javascript date will pull the date and time in UTC. That said, I do use moment-timezone in my modules–though some of them I have taken over maintaining, and they used regular moment to some success.

@BKeyport I couldn’t get timezones working properly. So, for example, if you want to know what day it is, and you’re not on UTC, you’re liable to pull tomorrow’s date. Maybe I don’t know how to do it, but moment is pretty lightweight and makes a few things slightly easier.

I use the following in my css to solve this:

.clock .sun {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.clock .fas {
  padding-left: 10px;
}

The second part isn’t strictly necessary, but I find it gives some needed space between the elements

P.S. I did test it, and it seems to work with moment-timezone as well.

I maintain a couple modules that depend on the moment or moment-timezone dependency. I had always listed those in package.json and asked users to npm install them.

But I just took over another module that I found relies on moment without installing it at the module level. The only reason I found this out is that I was working on something and got an error message that the module was looking for moment in the parent directory (/home/mmuser/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment/moment.js:2613:19).

So, do I really need to ask users to install moment and/or moment-timezone, or is it safe to simply rely on the installation that comes with the the MagicMirror application itself??

@oraclesean Be sure to add your module here https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules

Just FYI, I’ve taken over primary maintenance of this module. It is now available at https://github.com/dathbe/MMM-PGA, with a handful of bug fixes.

@sdetweil I like the idea of scheduling display times for pages.

Most of the rest of this it seems like I can do with Carousel–including giving the pages sensible names, and labeling certain modules to correspond with those pages–if, perhaps, in a bit more clunky way.
