    • RE: Replacing snow flakes with hearts in the MMM-SNOW module

      It is running a bit sluggish on my Pi3 as well. But I love it anyway!

      Briljant.

    • RE: Wunderlist - your todos on the mirror

      I also have 2 Wunderlist/lists running one underneath the other.
      I also implemented this by having the module twice in the config.

    • RE: Send message to the Mirror

      Building on to this.
      I am thinking of a modules that displays a note on the mirror, exactly like the mentioned: I’ll be home late.

      I would think of it as a Sticky.

      I already have the Wunderlist module, so I can image that one of the lists would be: notes. And everyone within the household (connected to the Wunderlist) could switch notes on and off.
      This can ofcourse all be done in Wunderlist, but I would like it to be more explicit than a simple entry in a list. I think it would be cool if it realy looked like a yellow sticky (at a slight angle, somewhat random placed) with black handwriting on it.
      So it is more a different presentation of the Wunderlist module.
      Is this possible? I do not the faintest idea of where to start.

    • My mirror

      My fellow MagicMirror enthusiasts,

      I ran into Michael project about a year or more ago. It kept nagging in the back of my mind. Having revisited it in November I saw that the MagicMirror2 had sprung to life. That got me going, so I decided to start my project over Christmas.

      The monitor and Pi were relative easy, and within a few days I had the computer hardware running (thanks KirAsh4 for an excellent tutorial!).
      Then came the woodwork. Going to a local DIY store and buying some strips of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and a strip of architrave (the strips that cover the gap between a doorframe and the wall) was again relative simple. Getting all that together into a simple, square, seamless frame cost a lot of filler and sanding work.
      3 layers of undercoat and 3 layers of colour topcoat took throughput time (applying was 5 minutes, drying 24 hrs…).
      I had decided that I wanted a metallic finish. So I ordered 5 grams of flakes and mixed them with a clear coat. 2 layers of mixed coat, topped with 3 layers of clear coat (without the flakes) finished the paint job.
      Ah, I almost forgot, I also had to paint the back of and the sides of the frame as they would be visible, also adding to the throughput time.

      In one of the final days of 2016 I went to a local interior decoration store and informed about obtaining an observation mirror. In the second week of January I received their quote, and confirmed the order. Delivery took another 2 weeks.
      So hardware took me about 2 days, the woodwork about a week, the paintjob almost 2,5 weeks, getting the mirror took me 4 weeks.

      The simple 24” 16:9 monitor was about € 120,-, the Pi including power supply, casing, HDMI cable etc. € 70,-, the woodwork € 15,-. The paint was another € 50,-. The mirror was € 120,-. So in total the cost amount to something between € 350,- and € 400,-.

      This weekend it all came together.

      I am quite pleased about the metallic effect:

      0_1485689004262_Metallic.jpg

      The woodcolorred glow on the frame is a reflection of my yellow fleece, not a imperfection in the paint job :smiley: .

      I am running: Systemtemp, Updatenotification, Remote Control (which now has an update module in it!), Clock, Calendar Monthly, Calendar (with Google agenda), Compliments (need to look into using a compliments file…), Currentweather, Weatherforecast, Wunderlist (twice for separate lists), Newsfeed (by nu.nl).

    • RE: White screen after MMM-Remote-Control update

      @roramirez.
      Thanks, you have hit the nail on the head. I did run the git pull command, I have run the reinstall (the script did not work so I ran the manual method, but I did not run the npm install.
      Sorry, I am new at this.
      I did search the forum but could not find a solution.

      So, thank for pointing out my mistake and helping me rectify it.

      @ others: thanks for sharing your problems and logs so the problem could be solved.

      Case closed from my perspective.

    • White screen after MMM-Remote-Control update

      I have run the update on the MMM-Remote-Control module, and now get a white screen when starting MagicMirror.
      If I // the lines on the MMM-Remote-Control module in the config.js the Mirror shows up normally. I have deleted and reinstalled the MMM-Remote-Control module but the problem remains.

      Any advice? I do like the functionality of the Remote Control module.

      @Jopyth,

      As per your request I have added an issue on Github. I am not sure I can be of much help, I am new to this. But thank you for for all the development work.

    • RE: MMM-Remote-Control

      @ostfilinchen

      You got to be kidding me!
      But you are right, I just tried! Chrome: it works, Edge: black screen.
      But somehow I have a feeling it just to work in Chrome before the update (of the MM to V.2.1.0).
      Thanks for the Work-around.

      Hein-Jan.

    • MMM-Remote-Control

      Hi,

      I’m starting with my first MagicMirror. I have run the tutorial over Christmas. All worked as I liked it to. I have run the update today. No I have a problem. If I run the Remote-Control module, I do not get a copy of the mirror, but I just get a black screen. If I than switch to ip:8080/remote.html, I do get the Magic Mirror Menu and the control options.
      I have tried updating the Remote Control module but it says “Already up-to-date.”
      I am at a loss at where to being solving this problem.
