I just wanted to share with you this video of transparent displays from Samsung. I haven’t seen any in real life yet, but those look really impressive. This would make a MagicMirror even more magical 💸💸💸

I didn’t want to start a separate thread for this, but I didn’t want to leave it unmentioned here in the forum either 🙂 The website has undergone a major modernization. Mainly technical changes under the hood and the design has been retained except for a few details.

But there are also a few things that regular users of the site might notice: For example there is now a dark mode, responsiveness and accessibility have been improved, there is a favicon, an animated GIF showing the MagicMirror interface and faster loading times.

@karsten13 said in Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules:

as most modules are hosted on github: You can get such info’s over their api.

Wow. That’s really nice! There are certainly some things that can be put to good use.

After you showed me the examples, I tinkered a bit with a simple frontend (without dependencies): check it out. I just have to fill it with real data.

MMM-page-indicator has been updated. The main change is that there are new classes that make it easier to customize the styling of the indicators and a new styling section in the README that describes some styling examples. Like this:

or this:

So if you use MMM-page-indicator, check it out 😀

The styling was also possible before, but was a little more complicated and the examples certainly help to develop your own cool styles.

Thanks to @mumblebaj for getting this rolling!

Many changes have been made to the official module list since my last overview on December 12. I have created a new overview for these changes. Since not everyone regularly follows the changes to the list, such a list may be helpful for some of you.

This is the second post like this. I don’t know yet if I will create further in the future and even maybe automate the process a bit. I am quite up to date with the changes as I am working on a new unofficial module list which is based on the official list.

These are the changes from 12th December 2023 to 29th January 2024. The list may be incomplete, as some parts required manual work.

Help request

Can someone with an Meteoblue API key tell whether module MMM-meteoblueCurrent still works?

I made some progress: https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/

There’s still a lot on the to-do list and some things aren’t working quite smoothly yet. But the website is now filled with data from all modules from the wiki.

When changes are made in the wiki, it doesn’t take much effort to update the data in this project - I just have to run a few scripts. Furthermore, no manual work is necessary.

Hello everyone!

Have you ever wondered what the most popular MagicMirror² modules are? Until now it wasn’t easy to find out. Recently, I added a new sorting feature to the new module list I am working on. It allows you to sort by GitHub stars! So now it’s easier than ever to find out which modules are the community’s favorites 😀

At the moment the top ten modules are:

1. MMM-Remote-Control (476 stars)
2. mmpm (168 stars)
3. MMM-Screencast (160 stars)
4. MMM-GooglePhotos (154 stars)
5. MMM-Todoist (147 stars)
6. MMM-Traffic (139 stars)
7. MMM-BackgroundSlideshow (130 stars)
8. MMM-pages (102 stars)
9. MMM-ModuleScheduler (96 stars)
10. WallberryTheme (94 stars)

Why is it important to star modules? Starring modules on GitHub is a great way to show your appreciation for the developers’ hard work. It also helps other users find popular modules.

How can I star a module? To star a module, simply go to the module’s GitHub page and click the “Star” button.

I encourage you to star all the modules you use and appreciate ⭐ And don’t forget to give the MagicMirror project itself a star! 🙃

I hope this new sorting option helps you find the perfect modules for your MagicMirror² setup!

Your feedback is welcome: Would you have expected these modules to be in the top 10? Which modules are not in the top 10 and should get more stars in your opinion?

@chrisfr1976 Nice work! Since there are much older unresponded Pull Requests, I suggest to replace the original module with your fork on the module list. If the upstream project gets active again, we can undo that change in the list. What do you think?

@dcazman There is a working fork: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

I started a small project. It’s still in its early stages and I don’t know where it’s going yet, but maybe it’ll be interesting for you.

Since the quality of the modules varies greatly, I thought about how to automatically detect easily recognizable issues (e.g. typos or dependencies on deprecated packages).

Basically it already works.

This is what it does:

1. Clone all modules from the wiki page: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules
2. Search each module according to certain criteria
3. Write the result to a file

This is the result of the last check: https://github.com/KristjanESPERANTO/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/blob/main/result.md

Do you have any ideas about useful checks?

Sam is right, that was caused by the big rewrite (which resolved other issues, particularly a fundamental architectural one).

A fix is already in the develop branch: https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/pull/4092

Are you familiar enough with Git to test the develop branch?

So that you can start receiving weather data again right away and don’t have to wait until we’ve figured the issue out, I’d suggest you try a different provider.

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html

@SdR, did apiVersion: "2.5" really still work before the MM update? That version was deprecated a long time ago (June 2024). See https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18662/modules-using-openweather-api-need-review.

@oskisch Are you still on the develop branch? Are there still errors in the console?

@oskisch said:

Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)

Try node --run start:x11

@oskisch said:

• SYSTEM: manufacturer: Raspberry Pi Foundation; model: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2; virtual: false; MM: v2.36.0-develop

Why are you on the develop branch?

A workaround for users still having issues with the calendar. There was a problem with the node-ical package for some events. This has just been fixed with a new node-ical release (v0.26.0).

To use the new version, run this command in the MagicMirror directory:
npm install node-ical@latest.

Note that this will change your package.json and package-lock.json files, which would cause conflicts during the next MagicMirror update. Therefore, also run the following to restore them:
git restore package*.json

You will then have v0.26.0 installed - the package.json file say otherwise, but that doesn’t matter.

Please give some feedback if that helps :-)

@hrt13 said:

[2026-04-02 19:59:16.671] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event “Tax Day”: ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function

Looks like you didn’t update the dependencies after you pulled the new MM version.

Please run node --run install-mm and check again.

@BKeyport It should be fixed with v1.5.0. Please update and check :-)

@Niggich What do you user for the pages? MMM-Carousel or MMM-pages? Do you use a fork?

I tested the original projects of MMM-Carousel and MMM-pages without any issues.
