When I first run into the Magic Mirror project I was convinced this was something I wanted to build on my own. Without the amazing work and the easy to use framework by Michael Teeuw and this forum, this wouldn’t any possible to archive. And yes, this was real fun!
Checkout my blog on http://www.robstechlog.com/building/ for more details.
Several modules like the ones for face recognition, speech recognition or even streaming from webcams bring the Raspberry Pi 3 to it’s performance limits by max out it’s memory and cpu. I found some older topics where several alternatives where named. Unfortunately those post were abandoned like half a year ago and really hard to read, due to the overlapping conversations.
I really want to find a powerful alternative to the Pi3. Perhaps the experienced builders can briefly share what they have done for experience with your alternatives. I think the following criteria are interesting.
Everybody else please don’t forget to up vote the contributions of those who share.

Two little modules for the Magic Mirror to include beautiful graphics generated with grafana.
It’s for your graphs! The data that’s currently displayed on my mirror using the MMM-GrafanaCharts is a weather forecast for the next two days.
If you’re interested in building you own weather chart, check out my blog post Programming your personal weather chart.
Gauges are extremely helpful to monitor individual values and their deviations from the nominal value. With the MMM-GrafanaGauges vital values of my plants are displayed on the mirror.

I found I nice website to share constructions online, its’called Onshape.
If someone is interested in the metal frame model. It’s available here.
@cowboysdude
I just updated the summary post, could you please check, if there is everything correct?!
I just found this source here and thought about this module.

By now brushtimer.js has already the whole logic the of the final modul implemented. It’s working like this.
What you need to set up in your attempt is a timer. When you detect your mac-address you start your timer. And when its gone, stop it.
Here is a clock object you can integrate and use. You can use Clock.resume() to start/resume the timer or Clock.pause() to wait. If you want to reset use Clock.Stop()
Everytime the clock-timer is changed you fire a sendSocketNotification('TIMER_UPDATE', totalSeconds) like int the MMM-NetworkScanner-project with sendSocketNotification('MAC_ADDRESSES', macAddresses) to inform the main module an show it to the mirror-screen.
var Clock = {
totalSeconds: 0,
start: function () {
var self = this;
this.interval = setInterval(function () {
self.totalSeconds += 1;
console.log(Math.floor(self.totalSeconds / 60 % 60) + ':' + parseInt(self.totalSeconds % 60));
}, 1000);
},
pause: function () {
clearInterval(this.interval);
delete this.interval;
},
resume: function () {
if (!this.interval) this.start();
},
stop: function(){
this.totalSeconds = 0;
clearInterval(this.interval);
delete this.interval;
}
};
@cowboysdude The Frame was made in small factory in Berlin. The main challenge was to find somebody with free capacities in the next three month!!
Seems like it’s a good place for metal processing companies around Berlin!
@cowboysdude
Thanks for your answer.
Could you please share a link which mini itx board board you’re exactly using?

Hey guys,
I was able to cut the white bar by cutting the last pixels (depending on the image size) from this image with adding the following to MMM-Globe.js
getDom: function () {
var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
if (this.config.style == "europeDiscNat") {
wrapper.style.height = 0.98 * this.config.imageSize - 1 + "px";
wrapper.style.overflow = "hidden";
}
var image = document.createElement("img");
Hey @Fistandantilus,
Thanks for checking out the module. Sorry for disappointing you, but the MMM-OralB-module is not finished yet. The module is not capable of displaying any other message than ‘Searching…’ right now.
I stopped the development a few month ago, caused by the different matching results, we experienced in the testing phase at the individual toothbrushes.
But I’m definitely interested in making this module.
If you want to help me , you could send me your detailed test output of the scenario I pointed out before.
Here are some details:
This leads to the following limited possiblities in tracking a brush session.
This is only helpfull if you do not interrupt you brushing session. :smile:
If you wanna try the current setup you can run the script by:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modulesgit clone https://github.com/SvenSommer/MMM-OralBcd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OralBsudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-devnpm install noblesudo node findBrushId.jsSearching for OralB Toothbrushes with manufacturerData: "dc00010205030000000101"...
changed state to:poweredOn
Found OralB Tootbrush with ID: 544a1621209f
sudo nano brushTimer.js"use strict";
var NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
var noble = require('noble');
//Copy Paste your ID here
var toothbrush_uuid = '544a1621209f';
sudo node brushTimer.jsscanning started...

Toothbrush stopped. "Cool down" for 32 seconds needed!
Very nicely done!
What are the rotary switches in the last pictures for?
@schlachtkreuzer6
done, I also included the sources from binderth and made a pull request.
It seemed the sender is now a object not only a string with several properties. Therefore this code snippet has changed a little by sender to sender.name:
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender){
if(notification === "NEW_STUFF" && sender.name === "modula"){
//handle the payload: {foo: "bar"}
}
}
@Arthur
Sure, I already thought about this. Unfortunately I’m very busy this week. Hope to get it done on the weekend.
@lolobyte
Thank you for the links.
For central america I found the following source the most usefull. Unfortunately it’s only available in high resulution.
http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goescolor/goeseast/overview2/color_lrg/latestfull.jpg
Has anybody found more usefull sources by now?
@MrEdOne
timeFormat uses the formatting of your operating system.
When “24” is configured the format “hh:mm” is returned. Which is exactly, what you are looking for.
Here is the code snippet from calender.js:
switch (config.timeFormat) {
case 12: {
moment.updateLocale(config.language, {
longDateFormat: {
LT: "h:mm A"
}
});
break;
}
case 24: {
moment.updateLocale(config.language, {
longDateFormat: {
LT: "hh:mm"
}
});
break;
}
What do you get, when typing date in your console?
If it’s not in displayed in a format of 24h, change the setting of your OS.
Maybe this helps?

I just integrated the ‘centralAmericaDiscNat’ option and made a pull request.
