You could use MMM-EasyPix as a background module but that is really not its purpose. Just try this module.

@Albert2002

Add address: "0.0.0.0", to your config:

var config = {
    port: 8080,
    address: "0.0.0.0",
    ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.
    language: "en",
    timeFormat: 12,
    units: "imperial",

@userloris

You might try changing the config position of each module to fullscreen_above, as such:
position: 'fullscreen_above',

I don’t know how each module will react to such a setting. You might see some odd formatting in the display of modules that were not designed/intended to be displayed this way.

@dæmoneyes said in My Family Info Board:

Woh, imagine if you could have a floating rotating stormtrooper helmet as a module…any creators here who could make that???

Done! :-)

Here’s a picture but you can’t see it rotating. Below the picture is a video link.

This is done with my MMM-EasyPix module. You can use any animated.gif or mp4 files.

@greda

Try:

var config = {
port: 8080,
address: "0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist: [],

I am happy to report that the module ran for the last 11 hours without a hitch. The visual image shows day and night exactly where it should.

Ok, I took a look at this at Peter’s request, so you can thank him. A number of things wrong with this config.

The author of “rainfc” created the repo in the name of MMM-rainfc. This is a problem because the module files are named “rainfc.js” and “rainfc.css”. So, for now, you can simply rename your MMM-rainfc folder to “rainfc” to coincide with your config.js entry. You can message the author about the error.
the rainfc module loaded once for me with a black and white graph. The very next time I tried to run it I saw the message “NO DATA” and this:

I highly suspect that the API for this module is having troubles, at least at the moment of my testing.

I have no idea where all those double dashes in your config came from. Those have to go. If you can simply copy and paste you can use this, saved as a js file and named “config.js”

@StacheEnthusiast

I like people who write guides! I don’t use a PIR sensor but I do appreciate the time and effort you put in on everyone’s behalf.

@FlatPepsi

This should work, although it whitelists all IP’s

        address: "0.0.0.0",
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: [],

Mykle1

Or, you can do it the lazy old man’s way. :-)

Mini power strip (inside mirror frame) your monitor and Pi both plug into and you still have an outlet available for something else. The power strip has an on/off switch which comes in very handy as a power switch for the Pi and only 1 wire comes out of the frame from the power strip.

Peace!
