@costascontis As far as I know there is no module available which picks a specific item from a given webpage…
So your way could be to use Sam’s (@sdetweil) tip above or create a module at your own which extracts the widget from your webpage.
The latter should be doable if you use some of the given modules as starting point and asking ChatGPT to help you …

@costascontis , If I got you right, this seems to be a web page. So i can imagine, this could be a candidate for MMM-SmartWebDisplay.
Check it out.
Good luck!

@_V_ My module MMM-PresenceScreenControl Offers a comfortable way to switch on or off during defined times - as much as you like per day as much days as you like.

@viktorzonix again 404 … Yesterday it was visible - for a short time.
Unfortunately I’ve missed to clone :-(
@LuckyDucker - something is really strange with your github …

Dear @Peter,
Yes fully understood…
Without context - and may an answer regarding my questions - It‘s really hard to help.
Warmest regards,
Ralf
Dear @Peter,
I can imagine that this is a restriction of your hardware.
I’m not THAT system specialist but as far as I remember there are some limitations regarding environment and software versions on Pi2b …
Because the “actuality” of used libgpiod this may doesn’t work on this specific hardware.
I can imagine Sam (@sdetweil ) can deliver a more precise statement on this.
On pi4/5 with “current” MM versions this works - and yesterday I got feedback regarding a successful installation.
Is there any log-entry which can be useful here?
Is the right GPIO configured for PIR?
Is the PIR sensor functional / calibrated?
Is power/ground connected to PIR?
Is power supply sufficient and working?
Regards,
Ralf
Don‘t forget to go to the target module directory before installing!
cd MMM-Tronity

@bradley1982 this is easy :-)
Your terminal states the error.
You have to issue:
npm install
The „run“ produces the error .
Good luck!
Warm regards,
Ralf
@schlomm
This is really cool.
Awesome that it works as designed…
(Was a little bit afraid that especially postinstall will fail and module doesn‘t work as expected…)
So thanks for (first !) confirmation for working module!
Warmest regards,
Ralf
Dear MagicMirror-ians
As may already known I was a real fan of MMM-Pir.
For also good known reasons this nice module is not longer maintained.
I have a local clone which runs OK but in the meantime I had switched to MMM-MQTTScreenOnOff wich attaches a “better” (radar-) sensor to my mirror. But I’ve missed the progress bar, the dimming and cron-like functionality. In addition the radar sensor is much slower than PIR- caused by a 5 second update intervall as minimum.
After plenty of tinkering and testing, and above all torturing AI heavily I’m excited to announce: MMM-PresenceScreenControl is finally out! 🎉
This module brings together the best of both worlds:
• The beloved timer bar and auto-dimming from MMM-Pir,
• The reliability, MQTT support, and simplicity of MMM-MQTTScreenOnOff,
• All cleaned up, without unnecessary complexity, cryptic cron strings, or weird build tricks.
A few highlights:
• Presence detection with PIR, MQTT, or both (whichever triggers first wins)
• A visual timer bar so you always know how long the screen will stay on
• Straightforward “ignore” and newly introduced “always-on” time windows using plain times and days—no cryptic cron needed
• Customizable screen on/off commands—works on Pi, PC, X11, Wayland, CEC, and more
• Touch mode for remote or manual override (yes, you can poke your mirror awake remotely!)
If you’re after spinning circles or relay magic, this isn’t your thing (yet 😉).
But if you want a solid, readable, and maintainable presence module that just works—even (hopefully) after updates—this is for you.
Give it a try, share your feedback, open pull requests, or ask questions right here or on GitHub:
Happy mirroring!
Ralf
