I have wanted to have my Enphase PV system displayed on myMagicMirror info display.

I repurposed a RPI4 that I was using for MagicMirror configuration testing into a HomeAssistant server and then installed the MMM-homeassistant-sensor module that was developed by @leinich and forked by @snille.

@MichMich Thanks so much for this project. I was looking for a perpetual electronic calendar… probably 5+ years ago. I can across your personal MM2 and hobby page, bookmarked it, and just about forgot about it.

Then during COVID I came across the bookmark and decided to do it as a project. It’s been very rewarding to learn about some of the stuff that is possible with this platform. I even took a series of Javascript, CSS, and HTML classes on Coursera and Udemy.

The Sams Club near me has SanDisk 128GB uSD cards on clearance for $11.91.

It seems that recently the default weather forecast has been showing what appears to be the forecast heat index instead of the forecast high. This may be an issue at the source?

@aldisachen I use MMM-Worldclock to display clocks for other time zones / parts of the world. That module is available on the 3rd party modules page.

Has anyone been using a different single board computer as a viable replacement for the Pi4? I wanted to help my son build a MM but all of the authorized resellers are sold out (or have closed wait and pre-order lists). And the non-authorized resellers have astronomical prices!

I cannot sing the praises of @sdetweil’s (install and) update scripts loud enough. it’s just copy, paste, enter, and restart. Thanks Sam.

@sdetweil I decided to throw caution to the wind and use the native card copier. Good news… The copy was successful and the mirror runs great. I did use the exact same uSD card (both a 128GB SanDisk I got from SamsClub).

My active mirror is at least two updates behind. I just imaged a new OS on a uSD card in a desktop RPi that I built and installed all of the modules from the various repositories on it and it is looking pretty good.

Can I duplicate the uSD card using the RPi’s card copier utility and insert that into my mirror’s RPi? Is there anything else I need to do, either before or after I insert the new uSD card?

@sdetweil Then… I am going to mark as solved. If something comes to you in a dream let us know.

If there is a feature request I would like to see an option for ‘today/tomorrow’ replaced by the actual day abbreviations.

@sdetweil yes, I’m using openweathermap…

I believe they’re based in the UK so I was half expecting it to switch about 6PM our time (their midnight).

I would say that today’s weather doesn’t have much meaning any longer at about bedtime. Is there a config option to show the day abbreviation rather than today/tomorrow? (I looked… but I may have man-looked) That would eliminate some of the ambiguity.

On the default weather module the forecast for the next five days shows the following rows: Today (Friday), Tomorrow, Sun, Mon, Tue.

This is good.

Then… at 9PM the listing changes to: Today(?), Tomorrow, Mon, Tue, Wed.

The default Clock Module always shows the correct time. I am in US Central Time zone. The time is also correct on the RPi4 desktop.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

@sdetweil said in I'm in need of a little guidance:

Thanks. That was by far the easiest, pain-free upgrade I’ve ever just sat back and watched!

I tried to do the update to the current version v2.17.1 just now.

I’m getting a message on the terminal saying that there are changes not staged for commit. The files listed are:

fonts/package-lock.json
package-lock.json
vendor/package-lock.json

I don’t think I’ve done anything to any of those files.

@Jalibu I love the new module… got it going just in time to track Tropical Storm Nicholas

ISO: I would like some recommendations for a(some) newsfeed(s) from France. My daughter is a French teacher and I think that would be a nice addition to my mirror.

@macg I’ve got a version of Option 1. I used a 3-port extension cord and used a child safety cover as a ‘mount’ for the cord. Then there are two outlets on one side - one for the monitor PS and one for the Pi4 PS (which is an Anker 5V/3A wall wart type).

@ankonaskiff17 I’ve been doing some web tutorials and you can change the color of the icons with CSS
