Initial Version

Although the forum is rapidly growing (something I’m very grateful for), the issues aren’t caused by limited capacity.

The forum is based on nodeBB, an opensource community platform. NodeBB has a lot of power, features and functionalities. But it also turns out to come with a major downside: it appears to be extremely unstable.

Both me and @paviro are doing the best we can to keep the forum up and running. But unfortunately, we haven’t found a the perfect recipe to keep it running stable.

If someone is a master in nodeBB configuration (and has a proven track record!) please let me know! We could certainly use some helping hands. :)

In version 2.1.0 (the current develop branche) the module and nodeHelper API both feature the requiresVersion variable. This allows you to set the minimum version number of the MagicMirror framework that is necessary for your module to run correctly. This is important, because version 2.1.0 will contain some API changes that might prevent your module from running in older versions.

More information about this feature can be found here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/develop/modules#requiresversion

Example code:

Module.register("testModule", {

    requiresVersion: "2.1.0",

    start: function() {
       // do something
    }
});

Of course, this feature would be way more powerfull if it was available starting from version 2.0.0. Unfortunately I did not have the time yet to invent a time machine. Therefor you can use a workaround if you really must do some manual checking. Starting from version 2.1.0, the frontend javascript will have a global variable called version. This is a string that represents the current version of the MagicMirror. In the node helper, this string is available via global.version.

So, if absolutely necessary, you can use the following code in your module:

// main module
if (!version) {
    // this is an old version, give the user a warning and don't perform any other new API calls.
}

// node helper
if (!gobal.version) {
    // this is an old version, give the user a warning and don't perform any other new API calls.
}

Since this feature is still in the develop branch, it’s not final and might change. Suggestions are welcome.

Because I’m very curious who is building the MagicMirror, I thought it would be fun to introduce ourselves. Most of you will probably know me by know, but a little bit more personal info can’t hurt … ;)

I’m Michael Teeuw, 34 years old. Engaged with a beautiful flight attendant, father of the 8 month old future-maker; Enzo. And a self employed business owner.

I love tinkering with electronics (Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Etc …), enjoy 3D-printing on my Lulzbot Mini, do a lot of development (iOS Swift, C++, JavaScript, PHP) and enjoy good designs.

My best known project is the MagicMirror, currently working on an Automatic Curtain project and previously finished the PowerSuit. Besides from my maker projects, I’ve got a few Apps in the Apple App Store.

Although this isn’t my best picture, it’s probably the most fitting image to post on the MagicMirror forum … 😂

You can find me on my blog, GitHub, Twitter and Instagram and YouTube.

Nice to meet you all! :)

[2.8.0] - 2019-07-01

ℹ️ Note: This update uses new dependencies. Please update using the following command: git pull && npm install. If you are having issues running Electron, make sure your Raspbian is up to date.

Added

• Option to show event location in calendar
• Finnish translation for “Feels” and “Weeks”
• Russian translation for “Feels”
• Calendar module: added nextDaysRelative config option
• Add broadcastPastEvents config option for calendars to include events from the past maximumNumberOfDays in event broadcasts
• Added feature to broadcast news feed items NEWS_FEED and updated news items NEWS_FEED_UPDATED in default newsfeed module (when news is updated) with documented default and config.js options in README.md
• Added notifications to default clock module broadcasting CLOCK_SECOND and CLOCK_MINUTE for the respective time elapsed.
• Added UK Met Office Datapoint feed as a provider in the default weather module.
• Added new provider class
• Added suncalc.js dependency to calculate sun times (not provided in UK Met Office feed)
• Added “tempUnits” and “windUnits” to allow, for example, temp in metric (i.e. celsius) and wind in imperial (i.e. mph). These will override “units” if specified, otherwise the “units” value will be used.
• Use Feels Like temp from feed if present
• Optionally display probability of precipitation (PoP) in current weather (UK Met Office data)
• Automatically try to fix eslint errors by passing --fix option to it
• Added sunrise and sunset times to weathergov weather provider #1705
• Added “useLocationAsHeader” to display “location” in config.js as header when location name is not returned
• Added to newsfeed.js: in order to design the news article better with css, three more class-names were introduced: newsfeed-desc, newsfeed-desc, newsfeed-desc

Updated

• English translation for “Feels” to “Feels like”
• Fixed the example calender url in config.js.sample
• Update ical.js to solve various calendar issues.
• Update weather city list url #1676
• Only update clock once per minute when seconds aren’t shown

Fixed

• Fixed uncaught exception, race condition on module update
• Fixed issue #1696, some ical files start date to not parse to date type
• Allowance HTML5 autoplay-policy (policy is changed from Chrome 66 updates)
• Handle SIGTERM messages
• Fixes sliceMultiDayEvents so it respects maximumNumberOfDays
• Minor types in default NewsFeed README.md
• Fix typos and small syntax errors, cleanup dependencies, remove multiple-empty-lines, add semi-rule
• Fixed issues with calendar not displaying one-time changes to repeating events
• Updated the fetchedLocationName variable in currentweather.js so that city shows up in the header

Updated installer

• give non-pi2+ users (pi0, odroid, jetson nano, mac, windows, …) option to continue install
• use current username vs hardcoded ‘pi’ to support non-pi install
• check for npm installed. node install doesn’t do npm anymore
• check for mac as part of PM2 install, add install option string
• update pm2 config with current username instead of hard coded ‘pi’
• check for screen saver config, “/etc/xdg/lxsession”, bypass if not setup

The new default module updatenotification will display a message whenever a new version of the MagicMirror application is available. It will show the number of commits behind on the current branch and the name of the active branch.

The new module is included in the new sample config. Make sure you add it to your own config if you want to add it:

{
    module: "updatenotification",
    position: "top_center"
}

This module uses new default translations. Any pull requests with translation in other languages are welcome! (English and Dutch already included.)

I think this is the most successful one I’ve seen on kickstarter so far.

People often ask me why I don’t start a kickstarter. I just don’t want to dive into patent issues (a few companies have patents on mirrored displays), I don’t want to go thru the hassle of FCC certification and I CERTAINLY don’t want to deal with customer support. 😂

Therefor I wish this kickstarter good luck. :)

Due to a migration to a new mail provider, the mail function might currently not work as expected. If you encounter any difficulties due to this issue, please send a mail to forum@magicmirror.builders and we try to resolve it.

Thanks!

EDIT 27/1/2019: Mail should be working again.

Using the classes property in the config you can add custom classes to a module. After that you can use:

.custom-class {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

A few weeks ago I got in touch with Eneco, one of the biggest energy suppliers of Holland and makers of the Toon smart thermostat. They were pretty excited about my Magic Mirror project and had a nice challenge for me.

With over 275.000 Toon Thermostats up and running, the Toon smart thermostat is the most popular smart thermostat in the Netherlands. To stay ahead of the competition, and just to make an awesome smart device, Eneco decided to open up the API for the Toon Thermostat. (Read more)
