@PGP_Protector nice!

@KristjanESPERANTO I wrote it - cleaning it up and then I will post it - going to be about 2 weeks or so as I am traveling for work right now.

@mvrlogins Nice solution, smart way to avoid constant streaming 👍 Triggering go2rtc only on demand is much cleaner and keeps temps/network down, the small delay sounds like a fair trade-off.

@fred2nice That’s cool! I’ve been thinking about getting a laser cutter for a while. That would be one more reason to do so - even though I don’t even need a new frame now 😅

sorry to revive this thread. I’m trying to get this going on my own MM @tjat do you think you’d be able to post your config.js file so I could have a reference please?

Das ist sicherlich hilfreich, kostet aber auch Platz vom Display🤷‍♂️

@videogame95 I’m not aware of any touchscreen that will work behind glass. This glass is not like stuff on phones More times than not you have to put an IR frame in front of the glass and plug it into a usb port( it becomes a mouse, touch = click)

Clean setup!!!

@KamiSchami Hello!! This looks GREAT. I can muddle my way through back-end programming, but the front-end stuff is Greek to me - would you mind sharing what modules you have added, and a few hints about what you did with css to get this super clean look? I have a secret plan to try an gin up an organization board for my wife as a (late) Christmas gift - we’ll be out of the country so I’m trying to get as much done now as possible, but she’s a terrible beta tester - it has to be pretty dialed in to get her to buy in on using something (she’s a wonderful wife and mother however) Thank you in advance!

@jamesarm It was a regular off the shelf mirror in a frame. I just removed the actual mirror portion from the frame and replaced it with 4mm tinted glass.

@gpoints to include a picture it’s the 3rd icon from the right in the editor bar

@schlomm Yes I had samples from them. In the end I‘ve decided to use the monitor in a nice ancient picture frame without any glass. So the „mirror“ effect is missing but this fits my usecase better. The frame is mounted in our living room and I can see all of the information from every place in the room… Warmest regards, Ralf

@trnitz Thank you, that’s what mine looks like but it returns everything offered for lunch that day, right down to the condiments.

@cyberphox They have been selling for so cheap recently around the LI/NYC area, it was a no brainer. So nice to not have to decide between which glass to buy and how to put it together in a frame. It’s all basically done for you.

@eddieLMD sadly the Alexa software s no more… Amazon has killed that what do you mean ‘do emails’? also some home apps i have for heating and lighting what are these, do you want to CONTROL those or see what they are doing? MM is really an output only medium, intended as an information panel.

@sdetweil awesome!

@Niggich I think @sdetweil is correct that MMM-RemoteControl is not related to Touch. I can try it in a bit to confirm. I do have a question on the MMM-Touch module though that I’m hoping one of you or anyone for that matter can answer. When using the touch module, does it allow touch/swipe across the entire screen or just within the module that is loaded on the screen itself?

@com1cedric Looks great so far. For the weather module, maybe check out MMM-WeatherChart or MMM-OpenWeatherForecast — they offer more visual options without needing heavy node.js work. Also, adding a physical shutdown button is a smart move for reliability. Keep us posted on the frame build!

There is a bit of a story here. A friend was given about 10 of these Surface Pro 4s from work, we determined 8 worked and he had 8 working chargers, so we spent an evening with a few beers and installed Windows 10 on all 8. He gave me 2 of them, one with “some” battery and one that would only work plugged in. I used the one with battery for a while but it didn’t last long so had limited usefulness, I looked up changing the battery and decided it wasn’t worth spending £40 on a battery, if changing it could ruin the device Then I randomly saw a video about installing Linux on one of these, due to Microsoft end of life notice, out of the drawer it came and Ubuntu installed with the Surface kernel, a fun process but once again held back by the battery life. My intended MM project is a 65" boardroom screen in the new office, displaying MM when the screen is otherwise not in use, but the office move is delayed due to issues with the refurb, so my office mirror is currently on a 27" monitor, wedged vertical on my desk While looking for another project I found the Surface and thought it would make a good mirror, initially I just used a full screen browser then decided a native install would make this “portable” with a wifi connection and likely needing to be plugged in, but I can set it up where I am working, It has touch screen access to the calendar and the displays are truly stunning So there you have it, why I am using a Surface Pro, running Linux as a mirror. [image: 1748245568665-page-1-resized.jpg] First page uses Calendar EXT3 and Agender EXT3 plus I wrote my own news module with short and long headlines because I have a lot of news sources [image: 1748245733672-page-2-resized.jpg] Second page (other than clock and weather) are all modules I wrote, making API calls to my PV array and various bits of info from the UK grid The screens are not easy to photograph, but they are not reflective in real use
