I am also hoping to use the MM as a magic picture frame. I have started teaching myself node with thelearnyounode tutorials [https://github.com/workshopper/learnyounode]. I figured it’d be handy to know how to modify the picture frame to my needs. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any coding, but I think that this project is worth the time.

As a side note, I’m going to use an old laptop screen with a controller board from Ebay to show some photos from my NAS. I’m going add voice control and hope to add the functionality of ‘dimming’ the photos so the weather / calendar / etc. modules show up. I"m also thinking of writing an mpd module to control my multiple raspberry pi’s running forked-daapd.

Thanks so much for creating this module! I have just set up my first magic mirror and started poking around with it. I am going to use my install as a photoframe.

I love the show / hide ability in your module especially being able to call it from other modules. When I get to playing around with voice control / face recognition I can see that this would be very useful.

I do have a request for this module though, it would be great if we could also control the ‘dim level’ of other modules as well as hiding them. I am specifically thinking of the Random photo module, I would like to be able to dim the currently displayed photo so that the other modules can been seen.

If you don’t oppose this added feature and could find the time to implement it I would very much appreciate it.

Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!
