      @DirkS LOL @ “Na, Zuggerschneggsche!”

      For those who don’t know … hmm, should I call it German? ;P

      This is some deep dialect. Zuckerschnecke -> Sugar snail -> like sweetie or sugar plum ;)

      But this is a nice work!
      I had in mind to hide the socket behind the mirror but you got serious! ;)
      Thumbs up!

      Nice way to “hide” the PIR sensor! :D

    • RE: The US Election

      @cowboysdude
      Well, Ronald Reagan was an actor. ;) Coming from lower-income backgrounds.

      I really hope US politics will be quite entertaining for the next four years.
      For me personally, I will observe how much the person has the possibility to influence this position. I think this is easy to track.

      For Donald it must be a relief.
      Finally he doesn’t have to hold back and play Mr. Nice the whole time. :D

      But somehow these are signs of times. It’s not only the US. I feel like there is a general change in a lot of countries.

      Wish us all the best!

    • RE: Looking for beta testers for MMM-Remote-Control

      @Jopyth said in Looking for beta testers for MMM-Remote-Control:

      It does not show the installed modules list on smartphone in landscape?

      Exactly. I just checked again.
      I use a Galaxy S6 (just for the dimensions) and I experience that on chrome and the default browser.
      I have an idea for the reason.
      You work with something like frames.
      You have the fix navigation area with “Back”, “Brightness” etc. on top and you have a scrollable list with the installed mods below.
      When I go for landscape, there is no chance to get to the scrollable area since the fix area takes already whole of the screen.
      The solution could be to make the whole screen scrollable.
      At least for small mobile devices.
      Or you prevent the browser from going into landscape :D

      I guess this is an easy one.

      I tried to install modules. MMM-hue and FUEL worked but I had no time to configure them. But they showed on the mirror.

      Let me know if I should retry.

      @Jopyth
      Ok, nice one!
      Even I’m missing the “switch on for xy minutes” feature ;)

      Anyway, what I realized is:

      • saving the configuration of shown modules causes the mirror to restart. Maybe there should be a confirmation message.
      • if you press “save” without a change, there could be a message telling you that there is no change and thus restart is not necessary.
      • on the smartphone landscape doesn’t show the installed mod list, on the tablet it does.
      • do you need two different switches/lines to show/hide all? Technical reason? Otherwise it could earn you some space.
      • Netatmo is shown twice in the “New module” list -> probably because it is twice in the wiki as well :)

      Installation of new module - I tried the “Callmonitor-Current-Call” - worked smoothly. Even editing the position and header was easy! Sweet!

      2nd installation - this time “Motiondetecter” - ended in an error. The mirror crashes in the moment I push the Download button.
      Retried to download but it seems like it the pi freezes. Tried to restart but i hang up. Had to disconnect it from the power supply.
      Tried again. Same thing. Error while downloading. This time I went back in the menu to restart the mirror. Couldn’t download but the mirror didn’t die. Maybe it’s the motion detector and the neccessary steps to activate the cam module?
      The folder “motiondetector” was created but it is empty.

      3rd installation - Local Transport - Error after starting to download. The mirror restarted.

      Hmm, any module I try causes a crash and restart of the mirror in the moment I press the DL button.

      Any information you need?

      Nevertheless this is a great configuration tool!

    • RE: Motion Detector

      @DirkS Thank you. Pi doesn’t die over nights :D

      But before I mess it up:
      Would the motion detection with the common script work or not?
      How did you realize it? Where did you enter your new script?

      And don’t you want to make an additional motion detector module for those who have the same problem? :)
      I don’t see the original programmer caring to much. ;)

      cheers

    • RE: Introduce yourself!

      Hi, I’m Dominic, 42 yrs old, married with one 2,5 years old boy and a 1,5 year old twin couple (girl and boy).
      We live in Berlin, Germany.

      I learned about the original magic mirror from a friend and started crawling for information. That’s about a year ago.
      After a while I intensified my search and since my wife and children are in my wife’s country for some months, I had time for this project.
      Well, at least I thought I have enough time.
      You know: “If a man says that he will do it, he will! You don’t have to remind him every 6 months.” :D
      Now they are soon coming back and I have a deadline.
      Module assembling is as finished as it can be - always new cool mods that need to be tested ;) - and I go for the hardware.

      This project - the magic mirror - is really great. Probably the best idea I found on the web for a good while.
      For me the mirror will be the main info board, a family calender to plan the days and weeks when the kids going to anniversaries, hobbies and other appointments. Shopping list etc.

      I really like the community. It is a very good size. The communication is very friendly. The input and ideas are great.
      Unfortunately I’m not a programmer. So the best I can do is to have an idea that hopefully one of you guys like too.

      cheers

    • RE: [Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

      @Jopyth I think I don’t understand the difference? :D
      Or you’re talking about the default sleep time that is already set at start up of the pi?
      So that, no matter what you do, you set a (default) timer of i. e. 15 minutes when the hdmi switches off.

      @Jopyth
      This is a hardcore module from what I see here. Nice one!

      Say, would “turn on monitor for x minutes” be a possible feature?
      Like a sleep timer on the TV.

      I come from an energy saving point of view and “turning on” is great but you know how we are. We always forget to turn things off.

      Cheers

    • RE: MMM-PublicTransportBerlin - Public transport for Berlin and Brandenburg (departures)

      (repost - too many spelling mistakes - couldn’t edit - don’t know which mistakes I’ve been missing now ;) )

      I guess this is a “problem” of the rest api.
      I live in an area where I have different stations to choose.
      There is an underground station about 500 m away. A bus station also about 500 m and two other underground stations within 1 km.
      I tried another module that uses the google api and it offered more than one station but only for a specific route/destination.
      What I want is a module that shows all reachable stations in my area (let’s say within 1 km) with the next departure times without a specific destination.
      If you want to check: I live in the area of Hohenstaufenstraße/Heilbronner Straße. Possible underground stations are Bayerischer Platz, Viktoria-Luise-Platz and Spichernstraße. Additionally there are 2-3 bus lines in that area I which use.
      I think, there is no solution. :)
      Cheers
