MagicMirror
Uses a custom webserver to handle outgoing requests and filesystem operations.
Don't forget to enable ping response for IPv4 in your devices' firewalls to allow the esave script to work.
Can show:
- Current date and time, optionally with a binary clock
- Calendar
- Current weather and a five-day forecast
- Indoor temperature (if you have an DS18B20 temperature sensor attached)
- Current gas price at your local gas station
- Departure times at your local station (if the service provider uses HAFAS ReST API)
Check config.json for all available customization options. The config needs to be added as parameter to the site request – see the entry in /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart below.

Server
A locally running server which handles all outgoing traffic to prevent stuff like CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing).
Temperature Sensor
If you have one, enter your own DS18B20 sensor ID in temperature.go (const sensorId).
Compile for Raspi 2 Model B (Windows)
See build.cmd.
Deployment
