Hi there, I’ve made a module MMM-WeeklySchedule to show weekly recurring schedules, such as the kids’ school classes, student’s timetable, teacher’s teaching schedule, your gym training classes, or recurring housekeeping tasks. It is made for static information with fine to change manually if necessary.

The request for such module was triggered by @AxLed over at the Modules/Request category. As newbie in this forum I figured that here is the right place to announce new modules.

It is my first mirror module. Your feedback is most welcome.

Below is a screenshot for a pupil’s timetable:

Awesome idea!

And while we are at it, I think that @Mykle1’s excellent step-by-step guides should also have a home in the wiki. The forum is the right place to work them out, but once the instruction have matured they should become part of the project itself.

Thanks, @raywo Works like a charm. Well done also w.r.t documentation, the convenience script for retrieving stationID, and customization! Awesome work.

@AxLed, I also wanted to show today’s class schedules on my magic mirror. Those weekly schedules, e.g. at school or sports clubs, are very reliable and update only with a low frequency. So it is no big deal to change the config every now and then.

I’ve created a module MMM-WeeklySchedule to solve this for me. Feel free to give it a try. Feedback is most welcome.

Cheers.

Du kannst zum Lernen auch erstmal ganz ohne Spiegel arbeiten, d.h. nur mit Raspberry und angeschlossenem Monitor. Wenn du feststellst, dass gut zurecht kommst, machst Du dich an den Spiegel und die handwerklichen Arbeiten.

Hier im Forum findest du eine Reihe sehr guter Schritt für Schritt Anleitungen. Richtig programmieren musst du nicht unbedingt, sondern eher Konfigurationsdateien anpassen und Linux-Befehle (nach Anleitung) ausführen.

Ich würde ebenfalls sagen, nimm es als sportliche Herausforderung … :)

A good starting point might be the module MMM-dht by @nebulx29. It executes a custom shell command to read data from a sensor. You’ll find the invocation of the script in file node_helper.js. NB: it makes three calls, because it needs three values from the sensor.

In your use case, you’d call Python with your script name instead.

Cool, nice idea :)

… and thanks to Gene Roddenberry (and others), who invented the Universal Translator. :-)

Yes, you are right about the spirit of this forum. And I fully agree that discussions should be in English, so that everybody can participate and benefit from them. In this thread, however, the user asked explicitly for setup instruction in German. As long as language-specific threads don’t become the norm, I think such request are totally OK, because we should also not exclude people who are not fluent in English.

PS: The EN-DE translation of your post is really good. I’m surprised.

@jorgeg73 said in New to MM:

5 verbose stack Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json’

I’m wondering, why node is expecting the file package.json in the home directory /home/piand not in /home/pi/MagicMirror?!

Are you running npm start from within the MagicMirror directory, i.e. did you do cd ~/MagicMirror first?

Want to show something special for Valentine’s Day on your MagicMirror?

The MMM-Snow module by @MichMich now supports themes. The love theme floods your mirror with ascending hearts.

If you have MMM-Snow module installed already then just add the line for the theme setting like below.

{
    module: 'MMM-Snow',
    position: 'fullscreen_above',
    config: {
        flakeCount: 100,
        theme: "love"
    }
},

Besides the love theme the module features themes winter (original snow flakes) and water (ascending bubbles). Maybe you have ideas for other themes? See also module’s documentation for details on how to add new ones.
