@sdetweil
can you enlighten me how I can use the provided different faces in the modules’ faces folder ? (face-001.svg - face-013.svg)

• found by myself… sorry.
  Parameter analogFace …

@sdetweil
Oh …
did it again.

shame on me!

THANKS!
Ralf

Dear team,
I am not able to change the appearance of the (standard) clock module…
Neither switching from digital to analog (I would prefer analog) nor any of the other options (e.g. clockBold or showWeek/showSuntime) is changing anything.
Displayed is always the standard looking digital clock.

Only working config parameter (so I’m pretty sure that I’m working at the right place) is position. if I change the position the clock behaves as expected.
currently my code looks like:

		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left",
			displayType: "analog",
			analogSize: 300,
			secondsColor: "red", 
			clockBold: true, // Remove the colon and bold the minutes to make a more modern look.
			showWeek: true,
			showSunTimes: true, // Turn off or on the section showing sunrise and sunset times (digital clock only)
			lat: xxx.24127, // Latitude for sun/moon calculations.
			lon: xxxx74403,


		},

Shown is (as mentioned above) standard digital clock without any additional information (no week, no sun and the digital colon is displayed…

What I’m missing?
Any hint highly appreciated…

Regards,
Ralf

@MarcLandis cool!
Thanks a lot.
I keep an additional copy on my files …

Warmest regards,

@plainbroke said

Don’t the authors usually leave their github live…

AFAIK yes, for this reason this seems like an unfriendly farewell to me .

Ralf

@KristjanESPERANTO
Indeed, I totally agree.
I would like if I could, but I am not able to do this.
@bugsounet has developed an excellent piece of code - far beyond my abilities.
(especially in javascript - I struggle with the object oriented approach).

Ralf

Fortunately it comes to my mind, that the “documentation” of the modules comes with the module.
Still unfortunate, that module isn’t maintained - will may not work in later MM releases…

@sdetweil indeed, Very sad turn of events.
Thanks - overseen your post.

Ralf

Hi team,
today I wanted to take care about the cron-funtionality within MMM-Pir and have a look at documentation but the link to module leads to error 404 - not found…
Any idea about this?
The graphical module page shows a last commit from January, 20th, 2025 …

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil , sorry - being offline for a while…
Yes, seems to work.
As you was afraid of, it takes LOOOONG until calender shows but earlier as without your suggested modification.
Thanks again!

Warmest regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil
O.K. , sorry my fault…Wrong expression from my side “first fetch” means first complete fetch (so ALL data fetched).
In addition I accidentally switched the begin and end…
So correct view is

waitFetch:  17000,  //  MM starts: 10:44:49.288   minus  complete calender fetch at: 10:45:06.206 = 16.918 ms

Sorry for my mistake.
And thanks for your explanation!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil , sorry, I didn’t get you…
what do you mean by this?

I have set refreshinterval at 180000 - 3 Minutes.
this may triggers appearance of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda …

I’m not able to identify the startup of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda in the log.

If I consider the difference between Mirror-startup and first calender fetching as the “right” fetching time

[2025-01-24 10:44:49.288] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.30.0 

[2025-01-24 10:45:05.760] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 22 events from https://www.feiertage-deutschland.de/
[2025-01-24 10:45:06.206] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 21 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar

it should be around 16,9 seconds - is this the right assumption?.

At least with

waitFetch:  17000,  //  start: 0:45:06.206 -  first calender fetch: 10:44:49.288 = 16.918 ms 

MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda appears “faster” than before …

@MMRIZE @sdetweil ,
thanks for this.
I’ve played around with waitFetch which doesn’t help.
But with your justification I have to investigate deeper and find the right value.

Warmest regards,
Ralf

Dear team,
I have upgraded my monitor and so I could use a higher resolution for the screen.
Coming from 1.920x1.080 I’ve tried 2.560x1.440 which really looks great.

Unfortunately MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda (which I use for calendar representation) disappears after every single restart of the mirror.
This is true for the display itself as well as for a headless (remote) VNC session.
Interesting enough the webbrowser SHOWS the module!

After some time has passed calender appears suddenly (not sure which event this triggers).

Currently I’m clueless.
(It happens earlier that MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda disappeared after a Raspberry-Reboot but a restart of MagigMirror corrects this)

Any idea/hint from the experts?

Thanks a LOT!
Regards,
Ralf

Hi Mirror Enthusiasts,

Status update:
I’ve decided NOT to use a mirror.

As some others here I will implement this as a signage monitor and mount this in our living room at a convenient wall.

Reason for this: Our mirrors are mounted in our hallways - where we are present really seldom…

And the “mirror” is a really beauty and in addition all of the showed information is that useful that we “need” this more frequently.
So I’ve ordered a 32’’ display today and will mount this in a wooden (may baroque’esce) frame with a passepartout.
Will keep you posted.

Warmest regards,
Ralf

Addition: I forgot to mention that in the meantime the PIR sensor is here and is working after some “trouble”.
Ininitially this tiny bastard demolites my WLAN on the Raspi so I have bought a new one (Raspi).
It’s possible that there is no causality and the raspi broke for other reasons. But initially when I took power away from PIR WLAN recovers…
Today the new Raspi and PIR are living together without trouble.

Second tricky part was the justification of the sensor - there are two adjusments screws: one of them for the sensitivity and the other one for the length of signal.

First lesson: SMALL adaptions, LONG break to see the “real” behaviour.
Second lesson: Build a housing for the naked sensor.
I Printed a tiny box with a kind of funnel, housing the fresnel lens so the overall sensitivity (viewing angel) becomes lower…

Now it works reliably like a charm…

Regards,
Ralf

Hi all,
work in progress :-)
I’ve played around, tried a lot and have found a couple of additional information, worth to show up on our mirror.
I’m really happy that one of the additions is an idea of my wife - this seems like a sign of “acceptance” …
Today in the morning she states “we are looking at earth… - The moon is missing”.

Voilá -

(screenshot, not photo)

Modified: strava (less disciplines).

Added:
fuel prices (MMM-Fuel) ,
moon (MMM-MoonPhase),
a countdown to event (MMM-EventHorizon) and a
custom background (MMM-Profilepicture).

Warmest regards and much fun with your own mirror,
Ralf

Dear @wyovino ,
my shame, you are right.
To be honest, acrylic or foil are no variant for me.
In my first approach I’was thinking about 120x60cm, in the meantime I have found two existing mirrors in household - 190x80 and 150x90.
All three possible dimensions - at least for me - are candidates for glass for sure.
I’ve ordered a sample package and currently I’m figuring out which one ist the right.
For sure it will be 6mm, not sure is the brand.
I’ve sapmles from Mirropane Chrome spy which is referenced quite often in this forum.
Alternatively I have a local brand “Mirastar” which looks nice as well (nicer, to be honest :-) ).
Marketing wise (from website) Mirropane sounds “better”, but we tend (from eye’s perspective) to Mirastar.
Next step is talking to vendor - the online ordering form doesn’t allow my bigger dimensions -120x60 is maximum.

But anyway: Thanks a lot for your kind hint!

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil from your perspective :-)
Just had a deeper look into code and I didn’t understand that much…
