The Earth and Moon modules I used are found in the 3rd party modules list:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules
These are them specifically:

https://github.com/spectroman/mmm-moon-phases
Thanks for the input everyone. I will change the update interval and I guess I will end up installing a roller on/off switch on the power cord same as the one you find on some lamps.
This should insure no data transfer through the night or when we’re out. I can just shut it all down.
Sorry if I missed it but I can’t seem to find information related to the data usage of the Magic Mirror.
I realize it may depends on the modules running but is it something that I would need to worry about if I don’t have unlimited internet?
If I hide the modules overnight using my phone remotely and just un-hide in the morning for a few hours, does the data stop using up when the models are hidden overnight or does it use up data even when all the modules are hidden?
thanks
Hey everyone,
Below is my build but I wanted to first thank everyone for contributing here as I would not have been able to do this without all the info on this site.
Still fine tuning the software as I really would like to have voice control and random YouTube play lists but those two modules are still a struggle for me and can’t get them running.
I picked up the two way mirror (18” x 30”) at a local glass shop for surprisingly cheap…$126.00 CND before taxes.
Further down you will see a valuable and costly oops on my part.
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S79dItWKps
I started by getting myself a 29” LCD TV off of a local “Greggs list” site for $40. Also pick up a mirror and frame from the same site.
Began building the shadow box frame for the TV and mirror and modified it to fit the TV’s speakers and the PI itself.
Stripped the TV down as it was way too thick, glued up the shadow box frame and assembled it to the mirror frame to begin fitting it all up. Also tested out the software to insure all is running well.
Next I Cut up some wood bracing to center the TV on the mirror. Also bought some black shelf mat material from the local dollar store , fitted it in the shadow box and cut out a hole just big enough for the TV screen.
OOPS:
At this point I wanted to give it a last run through with everything connect and realized at some point, with the TV circuits exposed, I somehow shorted something. After days of trouble shooting I gave up and decided to buy another TV.
** Protect your exposed PCB’s
The second TV is a 29 Philips LED so it was thin enough to keep the back casing on to protect the circuit boards. I pretty well fitted it the same way as the first and added some brackets at the bottom left and top right to keep the TV from fall out.
Connected all together and hit the start button. Still need to fine tune some details like auto start, etc but I’m kind of happy with it so far.
Just need permission from wife as to where I’m aloud to pace it
Have two pages of modules alternating with ticker tape news, time and the temperature on the fixed page.
Works fine now. thanks, really appreciate it. If it’s not an exact copy and paste, it’s a challenge for me. But getting there.
Now it a question of playing around trying to get mmm-recipe to show correctly on the bottom_right
tks again
Hey everyone,
As I’ve noted on here before. I’m pretty new at this so if there is a comma or a bracket missing somewhere, I really have a hard time.
I’m almost complete on the construction of my mirror and have pretty well given up on playing any decent YouTube playlist as it just doesn’t want to play , https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8481/mmm-iframe-ping/41?page=5 ,but I can’t seem to find the config portion of the last few modules I wanted to install.
Such as these two:
Why are some modules missing the Config.js entry and where do I go get them?
Thanks.
At first I did only try one module at a time , removing one complete before trying the other. I’ve only recently installed a few at a time just to try different links on each module try to triple my combinations.
I see no difference if I try one at a time or three at the same time. Even have MMM-SmartWebDisplay installed now and it also behaves the same way.
But i will try one at a time again when I get home later.
Wondering if its a Canadian copy right thing? Any Canadians on here have these modules running properly. If so, would love to see which playlists you have running.
Was there any errors on the info I provided?
Wow…did not expect that screen to pop up? Hope I got what you asked for.

The videos are all from YouTube and do not seem to be private. I have tried this three amongst quite a few others. If someone has a pop play list that works, can you please give it to me. I can try it.

I right click on the video while its playing and then click on copy embed code, from there I copy the src and input that into iFrame and/or iFramPing. Which gives me the “video unavailable” when I start the mirror.
When I do the exact same for the following YouTube videos, the vids play fine.
