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.

Dependencies

Moment.js 2.12.0

Weather Icons 2.0

Installation

For Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

#dtparam=audio=on

dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4,pullup=on


# install all needed programs
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install unclutter -y
sudo apt-get clean


# copy MagicMirror/ to /home/pi/
# copy esave.sh to /home/pi/


sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

# mark script as executable
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/esave.sh


# execute the script at startup
sudo crontab -e

@reboot /home/pi/esave.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
#@reboot /home/pi/esave.sh > /home/pi/esave.log

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 Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (Windows)

See build.sh.

Deployment

# copy file to ~

sudo mv ~/MagicMirror-server /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/MagicMirror-server

# start the server on startup
sudo crontab -e

@reboot /usr/bin/MagicMirror-server -port 8080 -dir /home/pi/MagicMirror 2>>/home/pi/MagicMirror-server.log
