You are right. The other two mails contain change logs

This one?

Hey Mate,

thank you for filling out my survey, I really appreciate that.

Now it’s time for the first prototype.

Features:

• Pairing: To pair your phone with your mirror, you have to scan the qr-code which will appear for a minute on the mirror.
• Pull-to-Refresh: Once you paired your phone it’s time to get data in modules(available, installed) and region(this will override all changes you have done and not synced to the mirror yet).
• Edit Modules: You can remove, reorder and edit modules. After you’re done it’s time to sync your changes to the mirror.
• Sync: This will override your config.js file on the mirror. You have to restart your mirror manually.

Explanation of types:

• Object: {}
• Array: []
• Integer: Numbers like 1, 3, 17, etc.
• Float: Numbers like 1.25, 3.45, etc.
• String: “This is just a text.”
• Boolean: true, false

Installation:

• First you have to install the module from here:
  https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-Mobile

• Then install the app on your phone.

• Finally restart your mirror.

If you get in trouble or found a bug please submit an issue on github(don’t forget to name your phone os), so everyone can benefit from it. But it’s also possible to send me an email in english or german.

Kind Regards,

Felix

Freakin amazing! Awe inspiring!

I want one!

I have one, it’s somewhere in my wallet

You could try hooking up a usb keyboard to your raspberry (or whatever machine you are using for your magicmirror, and then press CTRL + 0 (zero). Maybe your zoom was active, this shortcut should reset to 100% zoom

@sdetweil said in node_helper - using fs or request?:

@yawns but… using the request approach would insulate you from changes needed to use a remote location source…

That’s a valid point, yes. I doubt this will be necessary or possible, but you never know. If it makes no difference in performance I will stick with the request.
Thanks for your thoughts, Sam. Very much appreciated

Hi guys,

for one module currently requested I have to load a csv file with ~100kb and lots of content sitting inside the module folder.
What do you think is more performant? Using request reading the file from “localhost” or using fs.readFile? Does it make any difference?

Best regards,
Stefan

Yes, of course. There are several ways to do so. First important thing to know is how you get and store your data. Do you want to collect the data and store it in a csv/xml/json/… file? Do you have an interface to retrieve data from, maybe a little webserver for the sensors?

You could also take a look at mirr.os.
I never played around with it, but it looks nice on the website.

Looks nice and touch interface sounds promising

@sdetweil said in Do you use a PIR sensor? How do you hide it?:

maybe you only need 2mm of that to make the sensor work…

Yeah, that’s my understanding. I can’t find the post but it was here on this site. A guy did some experiments to find the smallest size hole his PIR sensor actually required. He tried 1mm, 2mm and 4mm(?). He said it worked just fine with a 2mm hole.

You are referring to this one: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/557/pir-sensor-behind-glass/33
