    • RE: MMM-KVV - Local Karlsruhe transport (KVV) departure times

      Does this mean you carry your MagicMirror with you, wherever you go? :D

      Thanks for your pointing it out :). Yeah, in the beginning I wildly added and deleted code lines from existing modules to try and understand how the whole thing worked, in the end you end up with a nice compilation of code lines.

    • MMM-nextbike - Are any bikes available at your local nextbike station?

      [card:yo-less/MMM-nextbike]

      If, like me, you love the idea of using a bike-sharing service, you might appreciate this module :).
      It shows the amount of available bikes at any given “nextbike” station and lists the bike numbers of up to five available bikes.

    • MMM-KVV - Local Karlsruhe transport (KVV) departure times

      First of all, a big shout out to @ronny3050 for his impressive helpfulness in getting me started. I came across a really weird problem when I started developing this module and his willingness to help a newbie right away, made me feel very welcome here :).

      Secondly, I want to thank @MichMich for his willingness to share his work and ideas. Trying to find a nice bathroom mirror and quite unhappy with the mirrors that are available on the market, I came across your project by chance and immediately fell in love with your invention. You could have easily used your idea to make a lot of money with your mirror, but instead you chose to share the fruits of your labor with the world. I hope that many, many others will follow your lead in the years to come :).

      I only code in my spare time and have so far mostly worked on some simple web pages, but this project has pushed me to try and acquire a lot of new skills in a very short span of time. Github, npm, node.js, … . For the first few days I felt like I was drowning in a sea of information I couldn’t, for the life of me, get a grasp on, but now my first JavaScript modules are done, and I couldn’t be prouder :). So thanks to all of you for your great attitude and help.

      Anyway, here’s my first module:

      [card:yo-less/MMM-KVV]

      0_1472139897715_screenshot_en.png

      MMM-KVV shows departures times for any given stop of the Karlruhe local transport network on your mirror.

      It is pretty customizable and I have tried to explain its installation and configuration on the Github page. Even though there may not be that many users here from the Karlsruhe area (if any), I look forward to hearing from you, should you come across any bugs or problems or should you find this module useful.

    • RE: Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

      @RedNax I went to my home/pi/MagicMirror folder and typed in “git pull”, which is when it updated. If there is an additional step to update the main framework, please let me know.

      Sure, the adjustments I have made so far are mostly based around the idea that information should only be presented if it is relevant (or actually existent at all)

      • Only show precipitation if the probability for rain and the expected precipitation is above 0 % / mm
      • Only show the umbrella icon if there is a day with precipitation in the forecast table
      • Only show windspeed if it is above 0 kph.
      • I’ve removed the windspeed icon and changed it to a text line like this: 12 km/h + wind direction icon
      • In the forecast table the forecast temperature for any given day is shown until sunrise of that day (As I have the hourly forecasts I don’t really need the forecast for the day after sunrise, so generally I have my forecast table start the day after today - In the time between midnight and sunrise, this isn’t all that great though as it means that I only see the forecast until, say 10am, shortly after midnight)
      • I’ve added some spaces to unclutter the layout
      • I’ve changed the short version of the days to all caps

      Here’s a screenshot of my layout:

      0_1471294763580_MM-Wunderground.png

      What I’m planning to add:

      • 7am temperature in the forecast table

      Here’s why: Where I live it can sometimes get pretty cold in the morning, but within hours it’s humid and hot and sometimes it gets cold later in the evening so a simple quote of the daily high and low doesn’t really represent the days all that well. And if you know that it’s mild in the morning and hot in the afternoon you can dress differently than when it’s cold in the morning and then hot for the rest of the day. Not sure if that is all too helpful for others out there ^^.

    • RE: Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

      @RedNax No, it seems they don’t, sorry. I just rechecked and the wi-umbrella definition is there. Strangely, though, when I performed a “git pull” in the MM main folder, my umbrellas in the Weather Underground module disappeared and I had to manually overwrite the css file in the vendor folder with the older version. I must have made some other changes to the folder prior to that, because in the github repository everything seems to be fine.

    • RE: Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

      @RedNax Alright, thanks for the information. I have meddled so much with your code that a fresh pull would reverse all my customizations. But I’ll have a look at the development branch to get the weather module to pull the icons from its own folder.

      Could you explain to me why the new weather fonts include fewer icon definitions?

    • RE: Auto-disable module

      @KirAsh4 - It’s amazing for me to see how helpful and how full of good advice people on this forum are. Thank your for that!

      I’ve got my module up and running now and will go through troubleshooting it. As soon as I feel that it’s working as it should, I will try to implement the feature to automatically disable it if necessary, I will study your code then as well. Thanks for pointing me in a good direction!

    • RE: Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

      Quick question. Today I updated my mirror to version 2.0.4 via git pull. Afterwards the umbrella weather icon didn’t work any more as @MichMich has updated the weather font. Is this expected behavior or am I simply not getting another step I should take after updating? I have now manually copied the old files into the vendor/weather-icons folder and now it’s working again, but I suspect this is not what I should be doing ^^.
