Hi all,

A short intro: I have created a Magic mirror like 7 years back with a friend of mine and created some modules. Great project, lots of fun, but didn’t have a good place to hang the mirror.
Now I wanted a dashboard in my kitchen and was looking for good software. After trying several other things I came up with the idea to use the Magic Mirror software as it’s perfect for this. Because it is not a mirror, I name this project Kitchen Magic² ~~Mirror~~

Setup

My setup consist of a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 touch on a wall mount. With Tight VNC so I can remotely control it. The machine is always on, but I want it to turn on only when someone is in front of the camera for energy saving purposes. In Windows 10 there is no out-of-the-box feature to do this, therefore I have created the Appearance Detector that does this.

Pages

Because it is a touch screen I can add pages with buttons. In order to create them I use MMM-Pages in combination with MMM-TouchButton and MMM-Cursor to show the cursor. All the modules are switched on MMM-Pages by the classname.
I have added css in order to make it two-column in stead of three-column.

Page - dashboard

MMM-SimpleText - for the title
MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda - shared family calendar
MMM-Afvalwijzer - notification when the containers are retrieved, I added CleanProfs data (so I know when they are being washed)
MMM-Quiz - quiz module for fun, which I created myself
MMM-Sonos - which music plays
clock
MMM-OpenmapWeather
MMM-HTMLSnippet - for showing a chess puzzle of Lichess

TODO

There is always work to do. Some of the things I want to do are these:

Cable management - really need to do some cable management here
Make the weather page nicer
Add support for Alexa so I can start music with my voice
Update the Appearance Detector as it doesn’t work well when it is dark (it’s to sensitive then)
Add the possibility to push an html to page to the recipes page from my phone so I know what to cook that day
Add face recognition, so when my girlfriend gets in the picture it shows hearts all over
Need to do something more with the music page, not sure what yet, I am thinking of showing the lyrics of the currently playing song

Dear @jubbles,

I think a full .config file would help here to investigate.

@dawookie1979 seems like the same issue as posted a week ago: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18972/mmm-soccerlivescore-not-displayed-since-today/10

@Dragonfire1983 I use the classes in order to show on the different pages

modules: [
		{
			module: 'MMM-pages',
			config: {
				modules:
					[
						// dashboard
						["title_dashboard",  ...],
						// agenda
						["title_agenda",  ...],
                                                 ...
					]
			}
		},
		//----------------- Page dashboard -----------------\\
		{
			module: 'MMM-SimpleText',
			classes: 'title_dashboard',
			position: 'top_bar',
			config: {
				text: { 'value': 'Dashboard' },
				fontSize: { 'value': 'xx-large' }
			}
		}
]

@SmartBeaker Thank you very much! This looks like a great way to fix the cable management!
