New update:

• It is now possible to “call” all functions provided via the remote control from modules through notifications (see the readme), thanks to @ianperrin

Hi everyone,

I am Joseph (23) from Potsdam, Germany and study software engineering (almost finished). When I saw this project, I knew I wanted a mirror, and when the basic hardware was working, I started messing up other people’s modules with my wild ideas. :D Gonna post some pictures of the mirror, in the present your mirror section soon.

Then I implemented a few modules on my own and there is so much I still want to do, but so little time.

Hopefully I will present the project (both hard- and software) at my university and see if I can inspire more people to join in, and build an amazing Magic Mirror.

Best regards, Joseph

P.S.: Anyone living in the Berlin / Brandenburg area, my VBB module is hopefully ready for the public soon (unfortunately not yet).

@ceerix Definitely something I would like to have, too, along with spawning new modules. I think it needs changes to the core project though, which support moving and creating of modules while running.

@ianperrin Good idea, I answered on github.

The module has received a medium update, see the new version on Github.

Changes:

• Added: Save as default, which saves the hidden/shown status of your modules (Note: If you change your config, the settings will most likely not load correctly, you might have to change and save them again.)
• Added: Restart MagicMirror application and switching display on and off, thanks to @Bangee
• Changed: status indicator appears on top right, instead of the bottom
• Updated: fixed-width icons, text should be more aligned now
• Updated: error sign will show (error will appear in server log), if a command fails, e.g. no sudo rights
• Fixed: style error, which most likely made the remote control look completely different from the preview for anyone except me

@ceerix Ok, I see. Thanks!

@ceerix How are you going to interact? With custom notifications between the modules? Or are you connecting this differently?

I am asking because I was thinking, if it is possible to give other modules a simple way of hooking up to my module, and how this could happen. So a first example, on how you would like to do it, might be a good starting point.

@Mitchfarino did not have the time for it. I will see if I get to it, when I get back from vacation in one week.

@cowboysdude This is what I am doing with my Trello module basically. :)

@Bangee can you make a pull request also? Would be nice.

Edit: Otherwise I will add it to the base module, with your permission, when I get back from vacation.
