@Sean Hey there thank you for this cool module.
I have one problem though i have different pages on my mirror MMM-pages and i also use your MMM-DropboxWallpaper that i use for a few of those pages as a background (not on all of them) and works fine… so this brings me to my question… I want the MMM-WeatherBackground only for Page 1 where my weather module is at?? How do i do that so it does not surface on all backgrounds …i did make sure that i have listed MMM-WeatherBackground on Page 1 only not on exemptions where those modules that are on all pages reside.

Please help me out and thank you again
Denis

@cowboysdude How do we make sure of that???.. cause i have the same problem and the text its a little bit too large i think and not aligned properly with the rest of the modules …i have it positioned “top_right”

Always Thankful for your buddy
Denis

@cowboysdude Ok so right now i have MMM-NOAA.
My question is: Do i have to delete that and than git clone MMM-NOAA3 so i can use MMM-WeatherBackground???.. or can i upgrade the MMM-NOAA some how to get to 3 than change the config.js accordingly for NOAA3 to work with the other providers other than WeatherUnderground that NOAA currently uses??

This brings me to the other question; Which of the API providers i should use that allows for most ease of access and most free calls and obviously expected quality of information?? what do you advise or your experiences are??

Thank you
Denis

I have quite a few modules installed all working good and MMM-DropboxWallpaper posting pictures as a background. Some of the modules i have work fine they stay on top of other more common modules (like compliments) as they should, and have a “non-transparent” background while others are see though per say LOL.
How do i change the background or the frame of a module to be non-transparent and stay on top of others (or not) for both these attributes in an as needed basis …I am sure there are setting to change in order to achieve that but i am aware of them so any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hi all i have my magic mirror running “flawlessly” with all my modules arranged nicely ready for final hardware install.
I have been leaving it running on my Rpi and monitor for a while before the whole final, on the wall install but something strange is happening … I have pm 2 running and MMM-watchdog and all seems to be going perfect until MM gets abruptly restarted and it happens quite often.

Where can i look for errors on what’s been causing this??.. also can i change any setting somewhere whether on pm2 or watchdog so it can be more “tolerating” and “forgiving”??

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Denis

@OceanK Yesterday i tried all afternoon to play with this again … i tried to change the keys path on the MirorMirrorOnTheWallSKILL before uploading it to Lambda and nothing changed. Well it gave errors that it was not working so i reverted back to the old working zip file that i had where “everything” was last seem to be fine and another error surfaced but the skill works fine.
The error is this

    ]
}

the xxx are my changes to hide my id.
I went and checked my appid and it has not changed and like i said the skill works when you go on the Alexa console and it responds with “Hello my queen…” however i do not see any video or photo requests coming though n the logs on the youtube api etc.

Another thing that has changed and i do no know why is the IoT endpoint on IoT Core at the bottom under settings.

Can you check yours ne more time please run an error test on lambda and see if you see any changes and check your IoT Core endpoint that we copy paste on index.js file

Denis

Yes @darianbjohnson i second @batfastard I really want Alexa to hide and show modules and for the life of me i am unable to figure out MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall and its corresponding skill…i have gone midway to it where it hears my requests and it tries to do things but no response on the way back to the mirror. Anyhow this would be interesting too
D

@oceank No news…anything on your part ??? I tried to use another voice module for MM control but that ruins my Alexa installation and it does not work itself after that either so that was no-go.

I think we should start reading again that long thread where people said they had gotten it to work and see what else we may find. I think it is only the return part form the Lampda to the mirror that is not working it cant be that complicated probably something simple but what do i know.

@strawberry-3-141 Well i tried to install PulseAudio and use that instead of straight ALSA and configured it right according to the settings i found , i also removed and installed again MMM-voice but still the same error persists.
I tired every which way to tweak it as much as i could to make it work, for what i know cause i am no expert, but still no luck.
What can i do other than a fresh Rpi install that i dont want to do cause i have so many modules installed already??

@pbrunson I read your post and it peaked my interest … the other guys have it easy with the Linux sat boxes that can stream directly Like Enigma Vu+… They brought me back memories of the DreamBox i had when i was living in Europe :) i used to stream all content i could get to my office.

Anyhow here in USA i have a media center server centrally located that has a TV tuner… an internal Hauppauge card, of which i was only using its AV input to catch a quad view feed of my security cameras. Than through an instance of Yawcam (https://yawcam.com/) web-server I will take that tuner input and i would display that though MMM-iFrame on the MM.
(first of all it took me forever to find out what the rtsp streams of my SecCam DVR were but once i found them than i did not want to clog my RPi into processing those individual rtsp streams so the quad view works just fine)

So your post of watching the news actually pushed me to utilize the actual tuner part of the card and stream the news also to my mirror in the morning (granted that there would be no channel changes but whatever you have left it at from the previous use)

Although Yawcam would let you stream the tuner feed just fine (and for my case there is also a way to run two instances of it one for the tuner and one for an additional USB AV capture card i ordered through Amazon where i would now connect my security cameras quad view) … the catch is that there is no audio support.

But what do I know…by accident i found this on youtube (https://www.contaware.com/contacam.html) it has audio support and lets you use multiple AV inputs on one instance and has a web-server so you can port to it for MM iframes.
I have not tried it yet, cause my usb card for the cameras has not arrived yet, so i may be speaking ahead of myself but i am confident it will work.

Sorry for the long rambling but i think it is an exciting addition to MagicMirror and a great idea on your part.
I hope my findings help you just a bit.
