My MagicMirror isnt a mirror at all - its a display that is on in my kitchen. It has two modes - normal - shown below, which shows calendar, what is currently playing on my Sonos speaker in my kitchen, weather, and headlines.
and also a ‘party’ mode, where all that other info is hidden, and only shows me and my guests what music is playing
Happy to share my custom CSS code with anyone that wants to see this.
thanks - Uploaded the code here.
@yawns Ive uploaded my version of calendar.js to github. access it here : https://github.com/dinkybluebug/MMM-CustomCSSv2
It has amended javascript for calendar to show day of week and time.
@schlachtkreuzer6 In Nodehelper.js - I changed lines 104-117. I didnt need the option of monitor on and off, as I have a PIR sensor attached to my display.
if (query.action === 'MONITORON')
{
exec('cp ../MagicMirror/css/party_custom.css ../MagicMirror/css/custom.css', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
exec('cp ../MagicMirror/config/party_config.js ../MagicMirror/config/config.js', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
exec('pm2 restart mm', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
return true;
}
if (query.action === 'MONITOROFF')
{
exec('cp ../MagicMirror/css/normal_custom.css ../MagicMirror/css/custom.css', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
exec('cp ../MagicMirror/config/normal_config.js ../MagicMirror/config/config.js', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
exec('pm2 restart mm', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
return true;
}
As the functions had changed, I then changed the text displayed in the app , by changing the text in the remote.html file. Line 80- 87
<div id="monitor-on-button" class="menu-element button main-menu">
<span class="fa fa-fw fa-glass" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="text">Party Mode</span>
</div>
<div id="monitor-off-button" class="menu-element button main-menu">
<span class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="text">Calendar Mode</span>
</div>```I had installed the remote control module too, and tweaked it slightly, so I can move between Normal and Party mode, instead of using bash scripts via SHH
@MichMich Thanks Michael - Im new to all this - so appreciate your comment
@cowboysdude thanks. Trying to do this remotely though through command prompt/ssh. Any ideas?
Ive connected my magic mirror to alexa - where I can change the modules that are displayed. Currently it changes the config file and then stops the mirror, then loads it again.
Is there a way of refreshing the mirror from the command prompt, which then reloads config.js without quitting and restarting?
Im having some issues with this module. When I add items to my todoist - it appears in the module, but when I mark them as completed , or they are deleted - the items dont come off the module - unless I add a new item onto the list. At that point, they disappear, and the new item gets added.
Very odd.
Ive raised it as an issue here: https://github.com/cbrooker/MMM-Todoist/issues/3
Any ideas why this might be?
Thanks. Much appreciated. All sorted.
Hi,
I know im probably being dumb on this, but I have upgraded my mirror to 2.1.0, and now I cant access the mirror from my PC using ‘http://192.168.1.xx:8080/’
Ive added in the following into my config file
ipWhitelist: [“192.168.1.16”,“::1”], - where ip address shown is my laptop
but when I try and load mirror on my pc, it says access denied.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

This just might be my system though. It was working before - very odd
@charliwest when I first set up my mirror I didn’t have a monitor either for the first month. I think I just left it running without a
Monitor connected and then used another pc on the same network to see output using ipaddressofpi:8080
@charliwest Hi. I’ve updated everything. Home icon looks great. Just tested it and It still doesn’t know how to handle when my heating is Manually off. The module just reports as ‘Loading’
@charliwest hi. Also I noticed that sometimes it doesn’t update. This morning woke up and it was still showing a reading from about 8pm the night before. Not an isolated occasion as it happened before but figured it was a one off. Might be my setup though.
