I don’t think this is a good idea. A MagicMirror is by definition an IoT device, and IoT devices are notoriously known for their insecure practices. In fact, the default NOOBS install for the RPi from a security standpoint is a big no-no.

Unless you have hardened your Pi to have sufficient security practices AND made sure that your network is secure, I would highly recommend against having an IoT device have access to your personal/business financial data.

Plus, there are a few QB platforms e.g. online and desktop. Setting up access to a desktop QB file would likely require a computer to act as a QB server 24/7. And Quickbooks isn’t free, and module developers won’t be buying a subscription just to develop on it.

Yup, since APIv2 will no longer function after March or April, the repo has been updated to use the new APIv3. Unfortunately, you’ll need a new key, but it doesn’t require a wait to get a new key.

We’ve also changed a little bit on the config side. If your MMM-MBTA doesn’t work after using APIv3, check if to see if the station name has changed. There’s a list on the repo. We also have new config options, so check that out as well!

If that still doesnt fix it, make an issue on GitHub or privately email me, I’ll be happy to help.

Hey! that looks pretty slick! I especially like your indicator design. I actually considered forking MMM-carousel too, but after taking a look at the code, it seemed like it would be easier to just make my own. Yours definitely seems more fleshed out, especially with the advanced module slides settings.

I think our projects have different audiences: mine lets people quickly get going, while yours definitely provides more features for those who really want to customize their mirror. If I had known about yours, I definitely would have just used yours instead!

Ever want your mirror to have pages of modules, similarly to how the screens on your phone work?

I would like to present to you all MMM-pages!

Here’s a youtube example!

You can set what apps modules you want on each page and what modules you want always on. In the example, I have the clock and weather modules always shown (as well as the page indicator), while switching out the rest.

I originally wanted to add animations (slide left/right) to the modules, but I’m actually very satisfied with how it looks right now. Leave a comment/issue on github if you’d really want those.

Please note that this does not provide manual page changing functionality! You need to have a module that sends a specific notification to change the page!

It’s difficult to implement some form of input recognition when there’s dozens of input methods encapsulated in their own modules. That would require me to basically have some variant of that module in this module, which would bloat it to no end. Asking your module input authors to send a request on a specific action instead is keeps everything relatively bloat free.

While you’re at it, you may want something to indicate which page you’re on, so here’s something to help with that!

MMM-page-indicator!

No need to worry about what page you’re on! With MMM-pages-indicator, you can see what page you’re on! You don’t even have to worry about configuring it, MMM-pages automatically configures it for you! Just add it to your modules!

Quick FAQ:
Why separate the two? Why not make it one thing?

It would make sense to, wouldn’t it? But I wanted this to be modular so that if you don’t like my pages module, you can still use the pages-indicator module for something else. I hated it when I’d love to take a single feature but couldn’t because it was so tightly integrated with the entire thing, so I’m trying to avoid that.

Can I make a pull request to add features?

Please do.

It doesn’t work!

Please be more specific.

How come it changes by itself in the video?

I actually have a separate module set up to read input from a skywriter, but it’s not ready yet for public release.

Hey all,
I made a module to show information about a single MBTA (subway, bus, etc.) station in Boston. When you get dressed, you’ll be able to see the upcoming trains, and when to leave.

You can choose a station, various options (e.g. eta time, arrival time, neither, both) and it’ll show options like alerts, if you put it on a full-width position. You can also filter out types of transportation and cap the number of shown. Other options include formatting your eta time (seconds only, minutes only, or minutes and seconds) and showing the full name rather than the short-hand. I’ve even attempted to match the formatting of the default modules, for better looking integration.

The data was taken from the MBTA api, so this is only as accurate as their stuff :^). Note that their API limits a single type of request to 1 per 10 seconds, so unfortunately I can’t implement more than one station.

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions (please make an issue on github; I’m on there more often!). I’m new to the developer scene, so any and all are appreciated!
