I’m very new to the world of Raspberry Pi, but I want build my own smart mirror and have started thinking about what exactly I want out of it. My main priority is to use it as a TV through AirPlay mirroring through the RPiPlay package, but I would really love to have the functionality of MagicMirror as well.

Does anybody know of any way to integrate both onto the same Raspberry Pi? Essentially, I would want to have the MagicMirror dashboard displayed most of the time, then replaced with my iPhone’s screen mirroring when I connect to the mirror using RPiPlay.

Not sure if this is even possible, but I would appreciate any help from people who have tried something similar!

Hi,

I find reading and understanding wiki’s quite difficult, my optimal way of learning how to set up and config something is by using it and by seeing other peoples configs. I like examples, don’t know why they just work for me.

Could I ask you kind people to share your config (secrets removed) of MMM-CalendarExt2 and if possible a pic of how it looks I’d really appreciate the help.

Many thanks,

Hey everyone!

Is there any module that could be used with a light sensor module or similar?
For ex. depending on the ambient light, it could be used with MMM-Remote-Control to darken the screen.
At night there is no need for the screen to be on but also should not be turned on/off automatically.

I’ll start by saying that I have zero coding knowledge. I’m searching for a module that will act as a countdown clock to the next event on a google calendar/Ical calendar. After passing an event, the countdown should begin counting down to the next event on the calendar.

I recently had a problem with my pi and decided to start fresh.

Things are looking well, but my pi is shutting off on it’s own after apx 5 minutes.

I was remoting via VNC and lost connection and froze the screen.
Is there a default screensaver that I’m forgetting ?

Ok so it seems the weather module is a mess or maybe I’m having issues idk haha. So here are the issues I’ve had…

I started out with openweathermap, and the forecast seemed to work except that the forecasted temps were way off compared to say weatherchannel, accuweather, and weathergov…

So since weathergov seemed to have the right forecast I tried that, but then feels like temp is off by about 14 degrees compared to actual feels like.

The bigger issue is that when I tried to get the forecast to show up it just says loading and nothing ever comes up… below I’m posting my whole code that I’m using for weathergov…

{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Current Weather”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “weathergov”,
apiBase: “https://api.weather.gov/points/”,
weatherEndpoint: “/forecast/hourly”,
lat: “XXX”,
lon: “XXX”,
type: “current”
}
},
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Weather Forecast”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “weathergov”,
apiBase: “https://api.weather.gov/points/”,
weatherEndpoint: “/forecast”,
lat: “XXX”,
lon: “XXX”,
type: “forecast”,
maxNumberOfDays: “3”
}

Does something look wrong here for the forecast to not show up?

The one other question is how do I turn off the feels like option as I don’t want that if it’s going to be incorrect.

Look forward to any help as I have a serious headache!!!

Hi all, I am trying to use Magic Mirror to make a sort of functional piece of wall art. I have a video file with a bunch of CG animations I would like to run behind some functional stuff like calendars and whatnot. I’m new to both Raspberry Pis and Magic Mirror, so please forgive me if I’m asking basic questions.

I’ve got the module MMM-Videoplayer up and running for the most part. However the video plays back super choppy and ruins the video. Its playing a file I have saved locally to the SD card (I just saved it to the same folder as the example video thats included in MMM-Videoplayer) and I am using a Pi 4 which plays the video perfectly in VLC player outside of Magic Mirror.

Is there anything I can do to make it play at the proper frame rate, or is there some limitation to Magic Mirror / the module thats holding it back? Is there a better way to play the video file than this module?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give!

alright so Im still kinda fresh with everything raspberry and coding. I have everything setup with the mirror on the wall alexa module, i can run the “mirror mirror on the wall” commands from my alexa yet nothing shows on my mirror. any help would be appreciated thank you.

heres my logs

I have GoogleAssistant v3 by bugsounet
and I was wondering if anybody tried to add an event to their calendar using it, and if so, were they successful and how did they get it to work.
I have posted this on his website, but I think he’s very busy. It’s gone on answered, so I’m hoping somebody here might have tried it

Hello all,

I have a remote external file for the Compliment module which works very well, however, when the content of the external file changes the Compliment module doesn’t read the made changes only when restarting the mirror, my question is how to force and reload the external file content to the Compliment module without restarting the mirror?

Thanks much in advance!

Certain modules have some brighter and dimmer text. How do I make all the text brighter within a given module?

The reason for this is that I’m running Back Ground Slide Show and certain module text get lost in brighter images.

Hi there.

I’m looking for a module that would show movie posters from the most recently added movies in Plex and switch to a now playing poster when something is played.

I have a digital poster running movie poster app (https://www.movienowapp.de/) set up but it could be so much more. I don’t want to lose this functionality but would like to have a dashboard and all of the magic mirror stuff as well. I would be great if there was a module to bring these two together on one display.

Can someone help me with how i structure the path and where i store the webpages so that i can use an iframe module to show a webpage i have saved locally.

I have tried - MMM-SmartWebDisplay and placed the files in the MagicMirror folder, but this did not work.

Many thanks

My desktop clock? calendar? whatever…

RPI 4B 1920x480 Touch LCD /w case unit from AliExpress.

IMG_0286.png

with some modules modification and scripts, it could become a 9to5 office gadget.

I need some more angled plugs for a better look, anyway 90% done.

I use the default calendar to display the holidays (“Feiertage”) here in Germany. For example, today is one and is displayed that it is “Noch 14 Stunden” (14 hours left). But there I would like to have the display “Heute” (today) or the date. Also because the 14 hours are calculated using UTC time and not the local time.

I can’t find anything suitable in the calendar configuration. Does anyone know the solution?

Created a module based on a classic railway clock using code from manuelmeister

74c2433d-85d6-40a2-afae-650551911b04-image.png

Installation

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/ git clone https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-SweepClock.git

Add to config.js

{ module: "MMM-SweepClock", position: "top_left", //can use top_right as well or top_center },

I would enyoy a Traffic Module using the TomTom API, since I am not able to make it work on my own 😉

For my region, Tomtom is very accurate in Terms of traffic and its free 😉

Hi Guys,
Since the Mapbox API is very inaccurate in my region, I want to use the TomTom API.
I am completely new to developing modules, so I am trying to change an existing one.
I tried it with this one: MMM-Traffic

The first thing I change is the API Link, for the first tests, I removed the vars from the Link and replaced them with a static API request.
Another thing I changed was the

self.duration = Math.round(json.routes[0].duration / 60);

into:

self.duration = Math.round(json.routes[0].travelTimeInSeconds / 60);

I uploaded an extinct of the API Return here

But after the changes, the Modules just shows its “Loading” Phrase, so I guess I missed something.

I would appreciate any type of help and I will provide further information if needed 🙂

Hi all!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Denis and I’ve been a MagicMirror enthusiast like most of you since 2018.
Since then, I’ve been searching for the perfect mirror for my project. I’ve tried everything:

two glasses with reflective foil between them - too heavy spy mirror - too dark a mirror that is offered here on the forum from a known member was my last try and it somehow met my expectations, except for the price

I feel that the price is quite steep for the enthusiasts and it is slowing down the adoption of this cool tech.

Since the mirror that I last used was broken during transit I used it as a proof of concept for few months and started looking for a cheaper alternative and I finally found it.

The properties of the mirror are:

4 mm thickness 60/40 reflectiveness/light pass-thru which in my opinion works perfectly if the mirror is positioned in a place with natural light, however, my mirror is in the bathroom with no natural light. I found it usable in dim light conditions and perfectly usable in well-lit artificial light conditions. I will post two 4K/60fps videos later. It is the same weight as the other well-recognized mirror offered here on the forum and it is perfect for frameless designs (as mine)

The price is 299 euro/sq. m. and it includes:

4 mm thick 2-way mirror Polished edges (no additional cost for polishing the edges) Laser cut foil pre-applied as per your design (no more additional cardboard or wood board to worry about when building your mirror) The mirror can be glued to a frame with any glue/silicon due to the pre-applied foil for achieving a borderless design

Shipping:
The shipping will be calculated on case per case basis so that you can get the best price. The other mirrors offered here on the forum have a flat shipping rate which is unfair as a mirror with size 30x30 has the same shipping costs as mirror 80x80 for example. I want to avoid that. All shipping costs will be fair and individual.

Another point:
The lead time is two weeks and there is no minimum order.

Here is a topic for my borderless setup: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14048/borderless-bathroom-mirror?_=1632049363086 (please note that the mirror there is another one that is offered here on the forum, the one I am offering looks better in my opinion)

I will post videos of the mirror in action in poor lighting conditions (my bathroom with no natural light) later.

I am open to any questions and another perk for the first three orders is that I will cover 50% of the shipping costs.

In order to keep the price low for you, I would also accept payment through Revolut or through SEPA wire transfer which should have zero cost to you in most EU states.

Hello,

Does anyone have MMM-Nicehash working correctly?

I have set up the API and secret code, Moved a couple of test miners to an Organization profile. It pops up in the magic mirror but just indicates no connected rigs. I should have three.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

thank you in advance

Nick
