@xela What modules are you using? This seems like voicecontrol, but what are you using for a camera module? Does it already include receivers for those notifications?

Are you able to use the webcam normally, as described here? If you’re having trouble making it work, I would ensure it’s first working as expected outside of MM.

@mbeiswenger Suggest you take the free TryGit course. You can also consult the Git documentation and ask questions here (search first!).

In terms of collaborating, it depends if you will all be working on the same or different features. You will want at least one fork. Also, make your commits small and related (not “here is MM3.0” but “added optional config param capitalizeAll to newsfeed“). You can either share contributor access to a single branch, or all have them fork-your-fork and submit Pull Requests to your fork/branch. You shouldn’t need to modify .gitignore – it should already ignore the right files plus a lot of OS-specific cruft.

If you ever intend on submitting your changes to the MM develop (not master) branch, see the contributing notes in Contributing.md.

@Stef That’s awesome, congrats. Thanks for letting us know!

If anything, comment on @Beh’s post with any edits or additions you suggest to help others.

Cheers!

@cruunnerr @doubleT It would certainly be more easily handled in JSON or even a CSV (easiest to append readings). You can then set up cron to rsync the file to your mirror, load the file with an npm package like csv or fast-csv, and display in MMM-Chart (I would modify MMM-Chart to load the CSV directly).

@cruunnerr You could use a mysql module to query your database, create a route to output a JSON file, then use MMM-Charts to display.

@dsmith76 You make the URL accessible or you can try authenticating per the module config.

Otherwise, see this post to learn how to use vdirsyncer to download and display your calendar.

@Cyberwrights You can still download Git for Windows, or any other git client, and clone the repo. So long as you copy the entire folder to your USB, it should (afaik) also copy all of the git-specific repo files, and appear as a git repo on your Pi.

@Cyberwrights Yes, if you cannot download to the RPi directly, clone and transfer should work (via USB, FTP, etc). Unzip it to your USB, then transfer, or use a utility like unzip.

@dungarvanman This should accomplish what you need: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2113/mmm-memo-add-some-memos-on-your-page-and-manage-them-through-http-request
