@strawberry-3-141 Thank you! Works perfectly

Hello! I have configured the module and it is working very well. However the alarm doesn’t stop. I want it to ring and display for only 5 seconds. How do I do that?

And is there a way to hide the “Work: Wed, 12:41pm” on the left top?
Would really appreciate the help.

@ashishtank Oh, how do I configure it on the raspberry pi?

Hello, I just wanted to know if there is a text to speech module that speaks on a time interval (example every 20 minutes). If there is could you please let me know which one?

Thank you

@ sdetweil, this is what I have entered in the js file. I am still not getting it:

sure @sdetweil, no problem!

@sdetweil Hello, I am facing the same problem - and I want the same feature @smart_user mentioned. But I am sorry, I didn’t get the timer part. Which string are you talking about? and where will I add the updateDom()? Please help

@George yes it works! Thank you so much!

I want to add a small picture - 11 by 5cm onto my display. I want it to be at the bottom left of the display. I have configured the MMM-GooglePhotos module. However the image isn’t showing up - instead there is a “Loading…” button. I waited for an entire day to see if it loads but it did not. Here is my config.js code. Please help me resolve this:

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "bottom_right",
  config: {
albums: ["SmartMirror"], // Set your album name. like ["My wedding", "family share", "Travle to Paris"]
updateInterval: 1000 * 60, // minimum 10 seconds.
sort: "random", // "old", "random"
uploadAlbum: null, // Only album created by `create_uploadable_album.js`.
condition: {
fromDate: null, // Or "2018-03", RFC ... format available
toDate: null, // Or "2019-12-25",
minWidth: 400, // Or 400
maxWidth: 80000, // Or 8000
minHeight: 400, // Or 400
maxHeight: 8000, // Or 8000
minWHRatio: "> 1",
maxWHRatio: "> 1",
// WHRatio = Width/Height ratio ( ==1 : Squared Photo,   < 1 : Portraited Photo, > 1 : Landscaped Photo)
},
showWidth: 640, // These values will be used for quality of downloaded photos to show. real size to show in your MagicMirror region is recommended.
showHeight: 380,
timeFormat: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm", // Or `relative` can be used.
  }
