No matter what I do, I can’t seem to reproduce this odd temperature display. I’ve even started from scratch with a different rpi, completely blank to having MM up and running … no odd temperature.

And if you must have an actual physical touch, you can easily use a touch sensor with an rpi. I have one on my mirror at the moment that does nothing but fade everything out when touched, and back in when touched again. There are several kinds of multiple touch modules out there.

Will you be providing the camera as well? :)

@alexyak, oh, take a picture every day … at the end of the year, put them together in a video and watch the transformation. :)

Then there really is no reason that you yourself can’t do this. I don’t understand German but there are others who do. Looking at the Demo page however, the data returned is standard JSON, and it’s in English. There’s a Documentation page that explains how to make the calls, and what to expect back. Start somewhere: look at how some of the current (default) modules do external calls, such as the weather module. Then go from there. Saying you don’t know how to code Javascript is fine, however I’m more impressed if you also added, “I want to learn how.” :)

That’s not possible with the current setup. You can only change the symbol on a per-calendar basis.

Right, is there an API for that web site, that you know of? Otherwise it gets really tricky, if not rather difficult to extract any information remotely.

Folks, please keep in mind that all of us have jobs, some of us are still in school, all of us have a life, all of us have other things to do that is not MagicMirror. I know that @paviro has moved recently and is still settling down into a new place. MagicMirror is probably far lower on the list of things to do at the moment for him. I’ve had a bad life event happen recently and have been absent from everything this past month or so and am just now starting to catch up on things. I’m not ready to jump into anything right away. Some days I’m perfectly fine, other days I’m doubled over crying somewhere, unable to do anything, and this is no joke. And @MichMich, I can’t even imagine all the things he does that we don’t know (and I’m not even talking about his harem.)

Point is, there are several aspects of the code that we are aware of that will need some debugging, fixing, or perhaps simply light on fire and start over. I know that, and I’m sure the other guys know that too. Free time isn’t something that we have in abundance. It comes when it comes, and I try to make use of it when I have it. I can’t speak for the others.

A little patience will go along way. I am certain @paviro will get to coding again when he’s available to do that. And eventually, I too will do the same. For now though, just try to keep the boat floating and stick your fingers into any leak you see springing up …

A related question would be: where do you find such information (on current fuel prices)? Is it by region? By city? By neighborhood?

That’s what the 'symbol' config option is for. Please read the instructions on how to set a symbol for your calendars:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/calendar

Example:

calendars: [
    {
        symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
        url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
    },
    {
        symbol: 'calendar',
        url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....'
    }
],

Currently there are no (known to me) modules that do that. But if you want to write one, it’s surely possible.

Those are questions for the authors. If it were me though, I would disable everything from running on the rpi, or start with a completely clean setup (including a reformat and reload of the Raspbian image), and see where that takes you. But that’s me. I like to eliminate any and all possible causes. It’s also why I have multiple rpis sitting on my desk … I can easily and quickly spin one up from scratch.

Is it possible that pi-hole is seeing those network queries (from those modules) and actively blocking them till you reset the whole thing again?

Yeah, neither of those are default packages (that I could help you with.) Perhaps this is something you need to take to the respective authors and have them help you track down what the problem could be. It sounds like MM and its default modules are working just fine, so this is something that happens outside of it (specifically with those modules you mentioned.)

As a side query: why do you need pi-hole on the rpi? None of the default modules display ads, unless you’re actively using the rpi as a desktop computer and browse the internet with it.

Stream … what video? Or do you mean stream a video TO the mirror?

Not unless you have a bunch of other stuff running on your rpi. What happens if you run only the default configuration and modules? Do any of those stop responding after a while, and what exactly happens, what does the display say or do?

Thing is, once it’s up and running, things just remain in memory and run. The only time it will restart is if the entire thing crashes. But you can check on that by typing in 'pm2 list' and look at the restarts column. If you are seeing a lot of restarts, then something else is going on that’s causing it to crash. Mine’s been running stable for the past almost 30 days now (I haven’t been active on my mirror with coding nor updates, life took over.)

How things stop, specifically data being requested, is if there is a momentary network issue that the task could not reach the internet. However, even that will rectify itself at the next poll … If I disconnect my rpi from the network, eventually things like the calendar, newsfeed, and weather will all stop responding. When I reconnect it, they will all eventually refresh and start working again. So I don’t know what could be causing yours to simply quit.

@lali said in Modules stop work over time:

15 error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package.json’
16 error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package.json’

You are attempting to run it from the /home/pi folder instead of /home/pi/MagicMirror/ …

That’s a quality of the glass/film on it. Different films have different transmission properties. Some will allow more light through than others. You need to find the right one for the task. I would go back to the shop and ask if they have something with a higher light transmission value.

To anyone asking: ‘working voltage’ just means it will work with voltages within that range, so from as low as 3v3 up to 20v.
