@lilpkstud next to what sdetweil said you should also not save your result into this.data as it is an instance property which already contains data, see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules#available-module-instance-properties for reference

@veryaner if you want you can have a look in my Module, i did a similar approach, this might get you started.

[card:fewieden/MMM-syslog]

@reaper81 yes you can

.xsmall {
  font-size: 15px;
  line-height: 20px;
}

.small {
  font-size: 20px;
  line-height: 25px;
}

.medium {
  font-size: 30px;
  line-height: 35px;
}

.large {
  font-size: 65px;
  line-height: 65px;
}

.xlarge {
  font-size: 75px;
  line-height: 75px;
  letter-spacing: -3px;
}

put that in your custom.css file, change the numbers to your liking and you will cover most of the modules which uses those css classes

or what @j-e-f-f suggested in the other thread https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/25506 to scale everything in the same portion

@dominic this should give you an idea how to solve your problem, I just wrote it down maybe you have to adjust something a little bit and it’s not a finished solution

• nodehelper:

const fs = require('fs');
...

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
    if(notification === 'START'){
        this.config = payload;
        this.readData();
        setInterval(() => {
            this.readData();
        }, this.config.updateInterval);
    }
},

readData: function(){
    //to read a file to do the following
    fs.readFile('YOUR FILE PATH', (err, data) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        this.sendSocketNotification('DATA', data);
    });
}

• module:

defaults: {
    updateInterval: 30*60*1000 //reads the file every 30 mins
},

start: function(){
    this.sendSocketNotification('START', this.config);
},

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
    if(notification === 'DATA'){
        this.dataFile = payload;
        this.updateDom();
    }
},

getDom: function(){
    var wrapper = document.createElement('div');
    if(this.dataFile){
        wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
    } else {
        wrapper.innerHTML = 'No data';
    }
    return wrapper;
}

@cowboysdude adding a css filter to the specific module could set the brightness down

mine is a TP6920 usb microphone

I’m currently working on a voice control module.

For now I’m able to switch between the modes Train, Weather and Spotify.

In this modes I can already detect:

play the next song
shuffle playlist
stop the music
how is the weather today
how is the weather tomorrow
when does the next train depart

@cruunnerr that happens just for modules in the same region, you could either put the movie module in bottom_left, or you set max-width in custom css for the other modules to limit them

there is a general design your module have to look like

you have to create a directory in ~/MagicMirror/modules/YOUR_MODULE_NAME

then create a file YOUR_MODULE_NAME.js

Module.register("YOUR_MODULE_NAME",{
    //here comes the rest of the code for module I posted above
});

then create a file node_helper.js

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs= require("fs");

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
    //here comes the part of the nodehelper after the 3 dots as posted above
});
