That’s pretty nice! I like the classic look.

I’m a pretty heavy user of Google Calendars (16 different calendars between me, the wife, and the kids) and I definitely recommend MMM-CalendarExt3.

Description:

This module checks an e-mail address for new e-mails and displays the subject line on the Magic Mirror. This allows you to post an announcement for all to see or provide information (current wifi password or soup-of-the-day?).

I wanted something like this decades ago (in the time of pagers) but the technology wasn’t available or accessible. Now we all have cellphones and text messages so this is likely not terribly useful but I still wanted to implement the idea.

I’ve tried to document it adequately and done my best to test it but do let me know if you have questions or find a bug.

I’ve updated the module list:

Apparently, GitHub’s automated abuse detection decided I was a bad guy and did indeed shadowban me. (They probably talked to my kids or something.) Anyway, it looks like it’s fixed now.

FYI, I’ve published and posted in the modules/showcase forum.

Ugh. My apologies. I did the stop/start and rebooted and did it again and now it’s showing up on the screen. Must have been a temporary glitch or something.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

@UncleRoger Nice. Do you want to add it to the list of modules?

I should do that. I will do that. Thanks for the reminder.

I don’t know if this will work for you but I’ve set up a google calendar called “Dinner Menu” that I use for planning meals for the week. I enter an all-day event for each day with the main dish and, occasionally, sides. Actually, I mostly duplicate previous events as I’ve put the ingredients in the description for most of the meals to help with planning the weekly shopping.

I’m now setting up a MagicMirror and am using an instance of the stock calendar module to list the next 7 days of dinners. (One of the primary reasons for setting this up is to get my son to stop asking “What’s for dinner” every day.)

Here’s what it looks like on the MM:

Actually, that’s from a few days ago; I got rid of the icon on the left for a cleaner look. So far, it’s pretty much solved the problem and it’s not even properly set up yet.

I haven’t looked into recipe modules yet; I might look for a calendar module that can show the description for an event to show today’s meal and the comments I’ve entered for it (usually a list of ingredients) but that’s down the road.

As a heads up, MMM-SFMuniBusTimes (https://github.com/vikramraja1995/MMM-SFMuniBusTimes) no longer works due to Muni switching APIs. I’ve looked at it and have info about the new API but, honestly, I’m like a bumblebee in the deep end of a swimming pool.
