    • RE: Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

      @sdetweil yes the module shows on screen in form of QR code. That part works.
      My basics from config file:

      address: "0.0.0.0",
      useHttps: false,  
      port: 8080,
      ipWhitelist: [],

    • RE: Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

      Hi. I am trying to implement it on my MM and get only get below header in the browser. I am trying to open it with this address http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
      The same happens if I open MM via IP address.

      Did I miss something? I saw on page6 of this thread someone else had same problem but that solution didn’t help me.

      Doing ctrl+shift+I and looking at console output I get this error:

      @jalibu I completely forgot about this one. I will disable the rest and just allow Jast module to be editable. This could also work, thanks

    • RE: [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

      @jalibu I am making a small MM project, based on rpi 3 and a small screen. This will be used by my friends who are occasionally trading with crypto and stocks.

      Rather than teaching them how to edit a list of monitored stocks in the config.js (which could lead to catastrophic failure) I would prefer them to edit an independent shared file with the list of stocks only. This way we avoid breaking the core MM system and have the flexibility to change the list of stocks daily if needed.

      I like the idea of autogenerating the config file. Will have a look into it if I can do it with python script. If you come up with some other solution let me know.

      Thanks again

      @jalibu welcome :)

      Preferably the other file with defined stocks would be on the same system.
      I kind of get it how to make this work with python scripts but I have no clue if it’s possible with JS.

      @Jalibu thanks for your continuos work on this module. It’s awesome and I use it on few MM deployments. Virtual beer sent your way :)

      Perhaps you know, is there a way to pull a list of stocks into a config.js file, from a different file? I am no expert in JS but maybe there is a way to pull some of the config elements from a different file?

    • RE: My second MagicMirror, this time on Epaper frame

      @sdetweil not really. I have it running desktop-less on my Pi Zero W.
      There are some scripts behind that run virtual browser and take screenshot of it. It’s described in the link above that inspired me to do this.

    • RE: My second MagicMirror, this time on Epaper frame

      @davepre thanks for the hint. Wasn’t aware of InkyCal, will try it one day. But, I see it requires full Pi OS Desktop which is heavy on Pi Zero.

    • My second MagicMirror, this time on Epaper frame

      After good success with my first MM, I decided to try and use MM software for something different.
      The initial inspiration for my second MM came from this post.

      Once I started to order the parts I didn’t know how big of an issue will be the epaper screen. The 7.5" sized epaper from waveshare comes in v2 format which has increased resolution. It’s hard to get the v1 model in this size (with lower resolution) and I thought the higher resolution will help me anyway.
      Unfortunately, the v2 epaper screen comes with a bad HAT module which doesn’t work when used with RPi 0. I spent hours trying to adjust scripts and debug but in the end, waveshare support confirmed there is a problem with HAT module. The shop where I bought the epaper screen did some fixes on the HAT module but that didn’t help entirely. I was getting random hangs of screen refresh scripts, regardless if it’s Python or C.
      Anyway, the problem is not resolved and now I waiting for the shop to potentially replace the HAT module or the whole epaper+hat set. In the meantime, I managed to get it working the way I want with a temporary solution of adding a reboot script into crontab after every screen refresh. Not ideal at all but it works for the moment.

      Parts used:

      • Raspberry Pi Zero running Pi OS Lite (without desktop environment)
      • Waveshare 7.5" B/W Epaper Screen v2 list item(don’t recommend using this one, go for a different model with Rpi 0)
      • Custom made wooden picture frame
      • USB-C power supply

      Modules used:

      • Clock, Calendar, Currentweather, Newsfeed
      • MMM-Jast
      • MMM-SunRiseSet

      All in all still happy with how it turned out. I am using it on the main work desk to show me some basic data. Data is refreshed on an hourly basis. And best of all power usage is tiny and has no backlight.

    • RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.

      @mickyvi as the last option maybe install the sensor on top or bottom of the mirror frame. Hide it in a small enclosure (wooden or hard paper or 3D printed extension to the frame) and paint the same color as the frame. If done nicely it won’t even look that bad. And it will for sure work :)

    • RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.

      @mickyvi that is sad to hear. The glass you are using must have some special coating that prevents signal go through.

      Did you try to rotate the sensor? I know these sensors are sensing around 360degree but I think the actual antenna is stronger on one side.
      Also, what’s the distance from mirrir you are trying to get the sensor to pick up movement? Does it work fine when using without glass?

      For me PIR was not an option. I tried cheap and expensive PIR sensors and all of them had too many false positives. Plus it needs to be ouside visible.

    • RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.

      @mickyvi in my case it was the opposite experience. I have 3mm thick glass and back of the glass is covered by matte black paper. The initially installed microwave sensor (behind glass and paper) was too sensitive and could pick up movement up to 4-5m distance. That was too much for me so I had to modify the sensor by adding a trimmer.
      Once the trimmer was added I could dial in the sensitivity as needed.
      Here is my mirror… https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13430/my-first-slim-mirror-at-home

      In your design, maybe cut a hole in the wood back cover to fit the sensor in. That way the sensor will only need to go through 6mm glass. You can cover the space of the hole with black paper to eliminate any light entry there.
      It’s hard to recommend anything smarter without knowing the details of your design. Do you have any picture you could share so we can see how the back of the glass enclosure looks like?

      @oemel09 thanks for this module. Fits great on our mirror.

      I have one question. Is there a way to limit the height of the picture? I would like to make the picture a bit smaller…

      Hi, is it possible to increase the font size? Often I have wear no glasses if I`m in my bath room after showering - and I need a bigger font size without glasses…

      You can do that with CSS.

    • RE: absolute date in calendar module

      @pablo_z said in absolute date in calendar module:

      @qqqqqqqq
      You must use:
      timeFormat: ‘absolute’,
      getRelative: 0,
      urgency: 0,
      in the config.js

      I wanted the same, to have just dates of events shown. This helped me, thanks.
