It was only a few days ago but I did however get it working. I had an error on npm start that sam in the MM discord helped me solve and then my other problem with it not showing the module was due to me putting "middle-right" when then is not an option. Fixing those two things now makes it work. Thank you for replying!

Sure, I did try npm I stall after cloning to the modules folder per the installation instructions. I did get an error when doing so, which is probably something to post over on the MM forums. I think it has to do with the module not supporting newer versions of something.

I'm really not experienced with raspberry pi but I can copy paste instructions and codes as requested lol.

 

Anyone have experience with this MagicMirror module? I can't get it to talk to HomeAssistant. I realize this may be something to post on MM which I have, just trying both paths as the thread I found was 2 years since the last post.

Interesting. I've not heard of this new battery technology before. Sodium should be much more easily sourced I would think. We'll see, but for the meantime I'll hang onto my phone as long as possible and not buy lithium battery powered vehicles. Most people don't know about the working conditions that those children and adults are exposed to while mining lithium and Cobalt.

The biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome in my own eyes is how we source the precious metals for the batteries. Look up Lithium and Cobalt mines in Africa. Of course this applies to all lithium batteries (phones and cars being the biggest players).

I've been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn't even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it's disconnected from WiFi and I'm still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!

Amen. Same boat here. I have too much of it now and I want to start migrating to local control. I'm starting on Shelly devices myself.

HA has gotten a lot better in the last year if you haven't used it in a while. I honestly don't feel it's cumbersome. Gone are the days of needing to use YAML code.

What if you made a pin switch in combination with the magnetic switch? Any magnet should work, the magnet from the magnet switch can be replaced with any magnet. Maybe you need a stronger one is all?

Looks like Shelly. If so, if you set up home assistant and get Shelly added do you get all the features you want? I would think so.

I can only assume this was intentional, I agree username checks out

I made a solar powered wifi enabled weather station and moisture meter for my garden. The first attempt was my only and it lasted a couple weeks before I noticed the ants liked the heat of the electronics, created a little farm around the box sitting on the ground and then my wife became unhappy about it.

That said I will eventually make another that is elevated from the ground, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Sync was only released within the last week to the public, it's going to take a little more time to finish working out the bugs. I am excited for sync because it was my preferred Reddit app and I'm hopeful it'll be as good here. As for the ads... I use adguard dns and I haven't seen any ads yet... Hopefully that continues. I agree $20 is steep but I thought I read somewhere that was one time payment. Someone else will have to confirm.
