An updated release of MirrorCommand is available at https://gitlab.com/doctorfree/MirrorCommand/-/releases/v4.0.1r1

Version 4.0.1 Release 1 of MirrorCommand replaces the use of module MMM-DarkSkyForecast with module MMM-OpenWeatherForecast. Apple bought DarkSky and is removing free access to the API.

See the MirrorCommand README for additional info.

The Mirror Command Line project provides scripts to enable command line control of the MagicMirror system over a local network.
The MirrorCommand Debian and RPM format package installation scripts perform automatic installation and configuration of a MagicMirror including:

Automated installation of the MagicMirror software if not already installed Automated configuration of the MagicMirror Automated installation and configuration of several MagicMirror modules PM2 process manager installation and configuration Semi-automated key management to enable a single source for adding, storing, and managing the several keys necessary to activate many MagicMirror modules Hundreds of MagicMirror configuration files preconfigured with layouts for both portrait and landscape mode displays and module activation

The mirror command can be installed on your MagicMirror to issue MagicMirror commands. Currently the command line MagicMirror control scripts include support for:

Specifying the MagicMirror configuration file to activate Starting, stopping, and restarting the MagicMirror Display of various system info Temperature Memory Disk Usb Network Wireless Screen List active/installed MagicMirror modules List available MagicMirror configuration files Rotate the MagicMirror screen Get or set the brightness level Control MagicMirror video playback Start/Stop video play Replay video Play next video Hide video playback module Show video playback module Control the MagicMirror audio output volume level Get MagicMirror status Update the MagicMirror installation or update installed modules Auto generation of new MagicMirror configuration files Interactive mode via menu dialogs Invoked with no arguments the mirror command displays a command menu.

MirrorCommand has been successfully deployed and tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 400 running Raspbian Buster. It has also been deployed and tested on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and Fedora Linux 35 with generic x86_64 hardware.

@bugsounet Sorry, i am not sure i understand. Is it your wish that people not mention your modules on this forum? If so, I was unaware and apologize.

But, I don’t understand why. It is certainly not part of the MIT license under which your modules are distributed. Still, I suppose out of courtesy one might wish to conform to your request. Anyway, I’m a bit confused and perplexed and sorry if I did something wrong.

The MirrorCommandLine package was introduced here in a previous post describing its features and installation. MirrorCommandLine has been renamed MirrorCommand with many new features added and installation packages available in Debian and RPM formats. This post is to announce the availability of MirrorCommand Version 3.0.0 Release 1

See the MirrorCommand README to learn more about command line control of MagicMirror and the automated installation and configuration of MagicMirror with the MirrorCommand package.

This major release of MirrorCommand introduces support for multiple monitors, switching MagicMirror screen display between monitors and full support for both portrait and landscape mode displays.

Voice commands for screen switching have been added via the
MMM-GoogleAssistant module recipe file MirrorCommand.js.

To install:

Download the latest Debian or RPM format packages

NOTE: The automated configuration requires access to some X11 graphical
utilities. Depending upon your system’s X11 configuration, it may be necessary
to grant the root user access to the display. To do so, prior to installation
issue the command:

xhost +si:localuser:root

or grant everyone access with

xhost +

Install the package on Debian based systems by executing the command

sudo apt install ./MirrorCommand_3.0.0-1.deb

Install the package on RPM based systems by executing the command

sudo yum localinstall ./MirrorCommand-3.0.0-1.noarch.rpm

Removal of the package on Debian based systems can be accomplished by issuing the command:

sudo apt remove mirrorcommand

Removal of the package on RPM based systems can be accomplished by issuing the command:

sudo yum remove MirrorCommand

Post installation, configure /usr/local/MagicMirror/etc/mirrorkeys with any keys used by your modules. Once keys are configured, execute the command:

/usr/local/bin/showkeys

@doctorwhen note that mm install needs some changes for the latest pi os bullseye. seems ok for reissued buster/ aka legacy (but other things are broken)

if you open the developers window console tab view, do you see any errors. this module is all in browser

Unfortunately, I can’t see any errors there.

@lavolp3 thanks! Although I continue to find CSS disagreeably confusing, adjusting the vertical position of module placement using CSS is the better solution. I’ve added:

.mmm-hue-lights .module-content { margin-top: 150px; }

to my custom.css and the modules no longer overlap.
