Hey guys,
here is a module for displaying live pictures of our planet on your mirror.
The pictures are taken from the Himawari-8 satellite.
It’s also possible to use custom pictures.

Hi guys !

Dear MagicMirror-Community,
I solved a problem and want to share it with you, because I think some of you may have the same or a similar problem and most of you have the skills to get this thing working :)
Even if you don’t have this problem it may be interesting for you also.
To the problem:
My grandmother (over 80 years old) is not able to use a smartphone but she would really like to get all the images that are send to our family-whatsapp-group. Since the other members of this group are also no IT-experts I had to find a solution, that is also easy to use for them.
The solution:
I wrote an nodejs app that can run on a raspberry pi (with an attached display) and displays all the images that are send to a telegram-group (or to the bot directly) in a slideshow. So similar to a digital picture frame. But it can also show the name of the sender and the caption of the image (with emojis ;) ).
When a new picture is send to the group (or bot), a notification with the sender name is shown and the slideshow will start from the biginning. The oldest image is kicked out of the slideshow to keep the total amount of images in a range that you don’t have to spend all the day in front of the picture frame to see the newest images. But you can set the amount in a config file.
There are many other settings that can be adjusted in the config file, but you can see that in README on Github.
You can also see a small demo and the instructions to install this app on Github.
I hope this helps many others that are facing the same problem or that just want to have a digital picture frame like this :)
Enjoy it!
Luke
small preview =)
I’ll have to write a readme, then I’m done.
If you want to use a custom picture you just have to put your link in the config file and the module automatically uses this image.
You could just use my module and put the path of your image in the “ownImagePath” value of the config. It’s explained in the README but if you need help, let me now.

@bibi I think you have to clone it to the modules folder. otherwise MagicMirror won’t find it. Just do it the normal way.
Hey @tajno,
they don’t really provide an API. I did a bit of reverse engineering on their website and found that you can get a JSON file with all the warnings for Germany for a specific time.
This JSON contains warnings for all regions (Landkreise) of Germany.
If you find an API for Switzerland I can help you to implement it.

@bminer1 the logos are provided by the api. but you could add them manually for the league you’re interested in. I don’t have enough time in the moment to do it. maybe the real logos will be added in the future to the api. German clubs already get real logos.
@bminer1 maybe no one scored a goal :D have you tried to restart the complete magic mirror process?
@bminer1 the league names are provided by the api, so you can’t edit them :( also the info if a game is running or not is provided by the api, so maybe they had a problem with their informations.
I’ll put alerts on my todo list

Hey,
first of all I’m happy that you enjoy the module. I hope you find some time to work during games :smirk:.
I tried to reproduce your problem but was not successful. Can you check your console output for any errors (server and web console)? If you need help for doing that, let me know.
@Renfield the module does only update the pre-defined satellite images. I did not implement that for own images. But that could be changed quickly. Do you think you can do that on your own or do you need help?
Sorry for being absent so long. Busy times in the moment :) but I’m glad to see that you’ve got it working. :thumbsup:
@Burner911 sure :) should be straight forward. I you know how to do it feel free to make a pull request. If not I can have a look at the weekend if I find some time.
@SvenSommer
could you please adjust the README.md that it contains your additional image-styles? then i will merge your pull request =)
thanks for your help improving the module
