Sorry for yet another boring family dashboard, but I thought I’d share the progress I’ve made so far with making MMM-CalendarExt3 look like the calendar module in Dakboard.

I haven’t decided which modules I’ll keep for sure (I was having some compatibility issues between certain combinations) but the other ones you can see here are:

• Clock (standard)
• Calendar (standard by invisible)
• Weather (standard)
• MMM-AnyList (because we use AnyList for everything)
• MMM-WiFiPassword (for guests to access the wifi without bothering me)
• MMM-Remote-Control (for me to issue shutdown request via my phone)

I’m looking into building the mirror/frame next, as well as the necessary modules to give me a physical safe-shutdown button and any other physical controls that might be needed, depending on how much bloat I build into this device.

I’d really like to have an alternative to the standard weather module — perhaps to look more like the Dark Skies app or even the old yellow-and-blue Meteo weather app with the graphs, but sadly I’d have to develop my non-existent node.js skills before I could even consider building my own modules.
