MMM-personal-agenda

This is a demo module for the MagicMirror². It displays the agenda events of today of the user who is recognized by the face recognition module.

To-do:

• Fetch different agendas for different users
• Sort the agenda events by time on the interface

Using the module

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

var config = {
    modules: [
        {
            module: 'personal_agenda',
            position: "top_right",
            header: "Agenda Today"
        }
    ]
}

Introduction

This module is part of a group project in the course Cloud and Edge Computing.

The whole project is a MagicMirror-based system integrated with face recognition. This module is a part of it. This module started on roramirez/MagicMirror-Module-Template.

At start, the face recognition module sends the recognized person ID to the MagicMirror, then the main system sends a global notification with the person ID as the payload. This module listens to the notification by function notificationReceived(), and then try to fetch the corresponding agenda.

As agreed, the ID can be four integers from 1 to 4. The corresponding usernames for each ID are hard-coded in the node_helper.js file.

In the current stage, the module will try to fetch a curriculum exported as .ical, and displays the class name, time, and position (if it exists) of today.

For demonstration purpose, the agenda API (i.e., the .ical link) is now hard-coded, which means it returns the same agenda for all users.

Quick test

To quickly test the module, you can put the following function into the start() function in a default module, such as compliments.js:

setInterval(function () {
    var randomId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 4) + 1;
    self.sendNotification("PERSON_RECOGNIZED", {
        personId: randomId
    });
}, 5000);

This function will send a notification with a random ID from [1-4] every 5,000 ms.

Examples of the output is shown below:

The screenshot below shows the interface without a valid ID.
