MMM-MySenseHat

Magic Mirror Raspberry Pi Sense Hat Module
Please support open source coders ! It's really appreciated in this dark moments :p

Installation

Please check Wiki first for any questions, or error you experience.

I. First Step

Run these commands at your Magic Mirror root directory.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
 git clone https://github.com/framboise-pi/MMM-MySenseHat.git

This command with MMM-MySenseHat folder (this will install dependencies)

npm install

II. Second Step

edit your config.js file from MagicMirror config folder

Update

To update MMM-MySenseHat, go to the MMM-MySenseHat folder:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MySenseHat
git pull
pm2 restart mm

What ?

I didn't find any sensehat module for the wonderful MagicMirror so I'm trying to make one. Using java librairies. I started a MagicMirror in python in parallel : MPMM (My Pi Magic Mirror), to use only python with sensehat and else, with the aim of making it working on a raspberry zero (Cause it don't work fine PiZero/MagicMirror).

V0.0.3 Modes on 8x8 LED (on interval with true/false options)

At start of MagicMirror a message will display (by default : "MAGIC")

check online : github version of this module. Displayed : current version | installed | info "UP TO DATE" or "UPDATE AVAILABLE" or "DEV VERSION"
8x8 pixels little monsters (10 for the moment) -- color is random each time
8x8 clock (hours and minutes colors are random)
8x8 random PixelArt -- every pixel is random
8x8 random PixelArt -- vertical symmetry left/right
temperature sensor value with 2 random colors scale
cpu average load - refreshed red dot line
ram usage - refreshed green dot line

Modes on MagicMirror

Sensors values displayed on a Magic Mirror module

humidity, temp, pression
or all 6 sensors

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

8x8 pixels animations
all LEDs on a color base on SenseHat temperature sensor
Use of joystick and sensors to interact with other modules. Or else.
Notifications - icons (gmail etc.)
cpu temp compared to 64°C ?
cpu speed compared to max ?

Check issues, I write there the ideas I will implement in future.

While we can't prevent the use of this code in products that are closed source or crippled by a patent, we would prefer that you choose another code or, better yet, make your own.

And ?

My MagicMirror has been made with a display undersized, so it leaves areas to place the SenseHat in a corner, for exemple.

Placed behind the mirror, it could be used to only add a colored light between the mirror and the wall, and with the MagicMirror module to display sensors info.
