Hi there! We just completed our latest COVID project utilizing our RPI 3B+ and an old computer monitor to build our first Magic Mirror. We call this our “Office Themed” mirror as it is currently configured to use MMM-ImageSlideShow to randomly scroll through over 50 Office GIFs in the bottom left. I built this on the cheap with the kids using an old 20" LCD monitor, a spare RPI 3B+, and some scraps of wood we salvaged from an old dresser to build the frame :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

By far, the most challenging part for me was creating the frame. Our only costs were the acrylic mirror and the stain for the wood. Everything else was already available. I feel like our MM v1.0 turned out pretty well! I had trouble with the default weather modules but was able to use MMM-Weather-Now and MMM-3Day-Forecast with ease. Adding calendars was a breeze. I also added a small stock market tracker in the lower right using MMM-AVStock and configured the css file to only show a couple columns of interest. Set up cron jobs to automatically turn the monitor off at 9PM and restart the MM and monitor at 6AM. Pretty pleased with how it turned out! :call_me_hand:

Hi All,
After several months enjoying my MM, I now have several MMM update announcements showing at the top of my display. These announcements “push down” the rest of my displayed modules and makes some of them overlap and jumbled. Is there a quick and easy way to NOT show these update notifications?

Of course, I can go in and install the update each and every time one is released but I really don’t want to have to mess with configs every month.

Thanks for any info!

@Fozi Thanks! It was really fun! Although, the Office GIFs will likely get old eventually…we’ll probably swap them out with a different module. :-)

@sdetweil Does this mean the connection errors should resolve on their own? Is there something I can do to get them to display? I deleted the other thread as it seems this is a better place to ask.

Hello,
I’ve been running MM for a few days now. I have 3 calendars I’d like to display: US holidays, personal (google), and work (outlook). Everything worked fine initially but I recently saw that the holiday calendar does not display with the other two calendars. I investigated this by deleting the other two calendars and then the holiday calendar does work just fine on its own. But when I add the other two calendars back in, the holiday calendar does not display. Any help to get all 3 calendars shown appreciated! Here is my config snipet:

{
			module: 'calendar',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
			urgency: 0,
			getRelative: 0,
			fadePoint: 0.2, 
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-0',
						url: 'http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
					},
					{	symbol: 'calendar',
						url: 'https://calendar.google.com/xxxxxxxmy_personal_calendar.ics'
					},
					{	symbol: 'calendar',
						url: 'webcal://outlook.xxxxxxxxxxmy_work_calendar.ics'
					},
				],
			}
		},
