Magic Mirror Calendar Auth: Understanding the Code Behind the Modules

When it comes to building a custom digital display, there are many modules that can be used to enhance its functionality. One such module is the Magic Mirror (MM) system, which has been widely adopted for its ease of use and customization options. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of the key modules that have been installed on our system, including the Code for Clock Module Time & Date Module RRS News Feed.

One of the simplest modules to implement without requiring excessive programming is the RSS News Feed module. This module requires specific code to be implemented within the MM and does not require any special access to resources. The code is internal and does not need to be included by the user to utilize the clock system.

Another module that was easy to include in our MM is the Calendar Module. This module also requires module-specific code to be entered into the 'Config.js' file, but unlike the previous module, it does not require any special access to resources. The code is internally sourced and simple to implement.

The Weather & Weather Forecast module is another key component of our system. This module requires a specific API key to retrieve weather updates automatically. The 'appid' variable is used to request and receive weather data from the internet. The following screenshot shows the code required for this module:

In addition to these modules, there are other components that play a crucial role in our system's functionality. Some of these modules are independent of the original system (externally sourced) while others are part of the original system (internally sourced). The following post discusses the Magic Mirror (MM) modules that have been installed on this system.

One issue that was encountered during the implementation process was with the customEvents symbols not displaying after upgrading to v2.22.0. This was resolved by modifying the code to include the 'defaultSymbolClassName' variable, which specifies the symbol class name for each module. The following code snippet shows how this can be done:

// defaultSymbolClassName: 'fa-solid fa-'

In conclusion, our Magic Mirror system has been successfully implemented with a range of modules that enhance its functionality and customization options. From the simple RSS News Feed module to the more complex Weather & Weather Forecast module, each component plays a vital role in providing us with accurate and up-to-date information. By understanding the code behind these modules, we can better appreciate the complexity and versatility of our system.
