Is this module still active or nahh?
I cant seem to get it to display on my mirror, despite cloning it to my modules folder and copy/pasting it in my config file…
Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated 🙂

@Seann Is your module, iClock still working?
I cloned it and placed it in my config file but nothing shows on my mirror… What can i be doing wrong? I really want your iClock because it looks so cool.

@sdetweil @qu1que oh, thanks both of you… I didn’t realize it was as easy as that =]
Now, to tackle MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall (damn, this is proving to be more difficult than i imagined lol)

For context, I am using MMM-Carousel in “slides” mode.
I have one slide dedicated to the NFL, so I use the default newsfeed module to stream an rss feed of ESPN to that slide
BUT
I have another slide where it is dedicated to traffic maps/reports/travel times.

I was wondering if it were possible to use one module, twice?
Like, I want to use the newsfeed module, again, to broadcast traffic reports from my local news station (and not have NFL stats popping up lol.)
Is there anyway to ID two instances of the same module as something like,

{
module: "newsfeed1"
},
{
module: "newsfeed2"
}, 
etc

?? I know there is a MMM-RSS-FEED but that doesn’t run as smoothly as the default newsfeed module and I would really like to use the newsfeed to broadcast both the ESPN stuff and the traffic reports…
Is what Im thinking possible? annd if so, how can I get it done?

@sdetweil
ok, so it turns out that those four are supposed to be outside of the directionsRequest: {} parameters.
While I had my config as

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_left",
config: {
	key: "api-key", 
	**directionsRequest:{**
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246},
		destination: "3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, US",
		*height*: "400px",//default=300px
		*width*: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		*showAge*: false,
		*fontSize*: "80%",
			**}**
		}
	},

I had to move those four out, which made my config:

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_right",
config: {
	*height*: "300px",
	*width*: "300px",
        *showAge*: false,
        *fontSize*: "80%",
	key: "api-key", 
	**directionsRequest:{**
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246}, 
		destination: {"lat": 39.9487306, "lng": -75.1965791}, 
		avoidTolls: true,
			},
		}
	},

the height, width, etc were all in the wrong place-- to me…

@FruityBebbles @sdetweil
Just thought you should know that it works now…
For some reason

height: "any sized px",
width: "any sized px",
showAge: true/false,
fontSize:  80%

…were all the issues-- not sure why but I figured I’d let anybody who may be reading this know that you should make sure to get your coordinates or whatever “right,” then deal with the fancy stuff, like fontSize and stuff… fwiw

@sdetweil said in MMM-google-route Example ?:

@FruityBebbles please use code blocks
I thought I did… my bad

anyhow, try this lat/lng for your destination

39.9487306,-75.1965791

I did, but no change…

i don’t know anything about this module

hahah could have fooled me =)
but no, you’ve gotten me closer to having this work than I have on my own so I thank you a lot.

yes… I should have said that my origin is the lat/lng

origin: {"lat": , "lng": }

and my destination is the

address, city, country

but to make things more translucent, here’s my config:

{
module: "MMM-google-route",
position: "top_left",
config: {
	key: "api-key", 
	directionsRequest:{
		origin: {"lat": 40.0583287, "lng": -75.0074246},
		destination: "3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, US",
			height: "400px",//default=300px
			width: "400px",//default=300px
			avoidTolls: true,
			showAge: false,
			fontSize: "80%",
			}
		}
	},

@sdetweil Thankyou for laying it out for me! I was trying to put

 destination: [lat: number,  lng: number]

instead of

destination: {"lat": number,  "lng": number},

• I didn’t know to add the “” or the {}

now, my config looks like:

module: "MMM-google-route",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		key: "google api-key",
		directionsRequest:{
		origin: "address, city, country",
		destination: {"lat": number, "lng": number},
		height: "400px",//default=300px
		width: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		showAge: false,
		fontSize: "80%",
			}
           }
},

I am getting a 400px by 400px box showing up in the “top_left” of my mirror, but now it’s all white with no map being shown…

@Valkilane Hi, I know this is a bit old but what if you wanted to be more specific because the origin and the destination are both located in the same city…
Im trying to use my address as the origin and a well known hospital in the city as the destination…

my config is

module: "MMM-google-route",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		key: "google api-key",
		directionsRequest:{
		origin: "address, city, country",
		destination: "lat", "lng", // can't figure out...
		height: "400px",//default=300px
		width: "400px",//default=300px
		avoidTolls: true,
		showAge: false,
		fontSize: "80%",
			}
		}
	},

Do you know what order I have to put the coordinations in, so i can get this to work?

@Mykle1

Nein! ;-)

Lmao, touche =P

Oh, wow 3 years? That was around the time I started this project… Im sorry to hear about the Giants-- not really, though-- but wanna say that Ima follow you on insta-- easier to talk through there, personally.

@Mykle1
NYC, cool… have you been living there long? Idk where I read it, but I assumed you were living in Germany.
Anyways, thank you and it’s funny that you mentioned the Eagles since I have made a slide (using MM-Carousel) dedicated to the Eagles and NFL lol.
Your work is much appreciated, here =D

What does he want, exactly?
Just the basic configuration of adding a clock, weather, calendar/ default modules, or does he have any specifics in mind?
I built my mirror not too long ago, but have been wanting to build another…
I reside in the U.S. by the way…

Hi, my name is Joe
Im 29 year old from Philadelphia, PA, USA and became interested in building my own smart mirror after seeing one in a department store a few years ago.
I’ve always considered myself tech-savvy but after diving into this, it seems as if my expertises hardly surpassed those who could restart a router lol.
I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2009, after being mugged by two unknown individuals-- they shot me in the back of my head =/
Despite making-- virtually-- a full recovery, I still suffer memory, comprehension, and concentration issues. Before I get off-topic, I want to say how Michael’s Magic Mirror is what I happened to stumble upon during my hunt for the “smart mirror in the department store.”
I eventually gathered all the materials needed to build my first mirror and proudly fiddle around with it-- tweaking it every chance I get.
I have little knowledge in comp. sci-- being a communications major-- but consider this a huge, new-ish interest of mine.
edit: I just wanted to add how working on the MM has been a form of therapy for me, over the years, and wanted to thank you–Michael and everybody involved-- for this community and making this a project that even I can understand with enough digging.
I just want to apologize now for any and all weirdly worded queries I might have…

@sdetweil sorry for the confusion. I see how I wasn’t making much sense…
I am so out of my realm when dealing with all of this computery stuff, despite being tech-savvy but I was having an issue with my PIR sensor not turning putting everything to sleep.
The module would simply put my Pi to sleep, but I would still have a “No signal” message show up on the screen (indicating no HDMI)…
Idk what I did, exactly but after combing through different queries and reading other’s questions on the subject, it seems to be working, now.
My PIR sensor does put everything to sleep and works like a charm.
You guys on the forum are so much nicer than 99.9% of the internet =)

@lxne @djay07 Same…

@StacheEnthusiast @DavA Hey, I just decided to try and install MMM-PIR-Sensor but am running into the same issue.
I was wondering if you ever did get this working as the directions have stated…

@Robalot So, I made it to this point and am stuck. How do I migrate away from having to use AMAZON.LITERAL?

Hi, I am not too versed in customizing my mirror but I am very interested to find out if I can add the MMM-Memo module to the Remote-Control module list…
Sorry if I’m being clear, but I don’t want to have to always physically type out

http://IP:port/addMemo?memoTitle=&item=&value=

everytime I want to add a memo…

Im not sure if I need to open another topic, but my MMM-Remote-Control module will not restart my MM, despite every other button works…
Does anybody know how I can remedy either issue?
Thanks

Thanks! I appreciate your help, regardless =) It’s people like you who keep me from giving up on thos stuff… I’m not a coder by any means, so thanks again…
