Im main.css you can change the margin, heightand width under ‚body’ as you need. Here are my values I adjusted. The default values are commented.

body {
  /* margin: 60px; */
  margin: 5px; 
  position: absolute;
  /*height: calc(100% - 120px);
  width: calc(100% - 120px);*/
  height: calc(100% - 10px);
  width: calc(100% - 10px);

@sdetweil thanks for the heads up!
Didn’t know you fixed it. I’ll give it a try for my next MM version, I’m currenttly planning.

@nagaculun Are you using MMM-GoogleTrafficMap? This module has a severe memory leak. Increasing swap memory will not help, as it just shifts the freeze to a later point in time. Other option is to setup a cron job that reboots regularly the RPi.

@sdetweil no, it‘s not a hard shutoff. You can easily check the activity on the SD card when executing reboot before it powers off. Means it stops obviously process and writes necessary data to the card first, just like shutdown.

@sdetweil why violent? As far as I know reboot is an alias for shutdown -r and does exactly the same. At least that is info I found in multiple posts on stackexchange. Could you elaborate a bit on that? Just eager to understand the difference and to avoid a mistake in the future.

For executing a reboot you need sudo privileges for the crontab. Try this

Open crontab with root privileges (sudo):
$ sudo crontab -e

Add the cronjob:
# - reboots the MM everyday at 1:05 and 13:05
# - redirects stdout and stderror to dev/null
5 1,13 * * * sudo reboot >dev/null 2>&1

Save and exit crontab.

Please note the ‚sudo‘ before ‚crontab -e’ and don‘t forget ‚sudo‘ before ‚reboot‘.

@techcoderun As the cyberweek on Amazon comes closer and I need another Dot anyways, I‘m curious if I’ lol succeed, too.

@techcoderun That’s interesting. I am somewhat buffeled because even with the a the mirror isn’t detected.

@techcoderun you just bought a new Dot and the mirror was detected?

Also make sure you are using a pull-down resistor with each button to avoid a floating status of the GPIO pin. I currently have no link at hand, but if you search the forum or Google you‘ll find a scheme how wire the pull-down.

@Piggi you‘re welcome! That’s what a community is for.

@Piggi Believe me, it is not a question IF it breaks, it is a question WHEN it breaks, if you just pull out the plug.

Although I don’t know your use case, I have following proposal:

1. Use MMM-Remote-Control to shutdown or reboot your mirror (if you wan’t to do it manually) OR
   setup a cron job, if you want to shut it down or reboot automatically at certain times.

2. Use/program the Sonoff switch to boot the RPi again, if it was shut down (switch off/on)

That way you are on the safe side with the RPi and you protect your investment for the Sonoff.

@Piggi instead of pulling the plug while the RPi is running, I‘d recommend to shut it down gracefully with

sudo shutdown -h now

and then to pull the plug.

Hi community fellows,

after 6 weeks of research, trial & errors I just finished my frist MM! And I am quite satisfied with the result.
Before I go into details I want to thank @michmich and the whole community for the inspiration and help to accomplish that project. THANK YOU!

So here the details of my MM built:
MM is running on a Raspbery Pi 3 B+ which I had laying arround.

For the frame I took two Ikea RIBBA frames that I attached together to have enough depth for the display. They are bound together by wooden dowels, as I was afraid that glue would not be sufficient to hold the weight. The overall weight of the MM is 9.5 kg.

The display is a used 24" iiyama ProLite X2481HS-B1monitor which I got on ebay. This monitor has a VA panel which has a far better contrast than common TN displays. Dismantling the housing was extremely easy. For the display mount inside the frame I made a simple smaller frame which I screwed into the outer frame.

The mirror glas is 500x700x4mm Pilkington MirroPane Chrome Spy. At the beginning I felt a bit concerned if the 4mm glas could hold weight of the display (3.5 kg). But it is no problem at all.

The RPi is powered by a 3000mA supply to have enough power. Internally I took a junction box to wire the display and the RPi, as only one power cable should go out.

Last but not least, I also drilled two holes in the lower frame bar for a PIR-sensor (AM312) and a push-button to switch on the news stream for “Tagessschau in 100 sek.” (German news) via MMM-Podcast2.

I also tried to implement Alexa control but didn’t succeed. Thus I took my Echo Dot and put it into the frame and attached it via USB to the RPI. As the power supply delivers 3000mA the Echot Dot is easily powerd via USB by the RPi.

Here a list of the modules which I currently use:
MMM-withings
MMM-Podcast2
MMM-DarkSkyForecast
MMM-DWD-WarnWeather
Snille/MMM-Sonos
MMM-MyCalendar
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-PublicTransportHafas
MMM-PIR-Sensor
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Buttons

So, this is a screenshot of all modules in action, except the Dilbert module (MMM-Comics) which I disabled again as I am investigating currently a memory leak with that module.

And here a few real images:

Here a picture with the “Tagesschau in 100 sek.” which plays after pushing the push-button and executed by MMM-Podcast2 and MMM-Buttons.

Thats’s all for now and I am pretty happy with the result of v1.0. But I already have some ideas for next releases.

Best regards,
Fozi

Awesome work, really awsome!

I‘m 100% sure you have a syntax error in your config, very likely a missing comma or a bracket. The error message is some what misleading. Post your config and we‘ll look on it.

Maybe it has to do with the css settings.
I use snilles custom.css. Add his settings to your custom.css file and restart MM. You find them at the end of his Readme.md

Which Sonos-module are you using?
There are actually two: One from CFenner and a fork from snille.
I have the fork from snille installed (https://github.com/snille/MMM-Sonos), which works with TuneIn Radio, my paid Spotify and Amazon Music account.
Maybe you try snille’s fork, in case you have CFenner’s module?

Best

I have only MMM-AlexaControl installed, without Pages, as I want to control the Podcast2 module. But also here, the discovery of the mirror fails, as well in the Alexa app as by asking my Echo Dot to discover new devices. My config is the same as already provided here, just without the pages statement. I also changed the startport and switched of the 5GHz band on my routers, but no success. Am I missing something obvious but essential?

@Stoffbeuteluwe ok, I‘ll give it a try later this evening.
Thanks,
Fozi
