My concern is accessibility for service. Is there access somewhere? Maybe a side profile picture?

@Dropzone1969 Great looking MM, do you mind sharing the config portion of calendar ext2? I can’t seem to get mind working properly.

@lucas781 Looks sick man!!! Are you able to share your config file for just the calendar ext2? I’m a noob and can’t get that module working on mine.

@pieguy said in my no mirror mirror: wish i could make even one … Wishing won’t get it done. However, reading and asking questions goes a long way. I was you (so to speak) 4 years ago. I found this site and all I wanted to do was make a module. I had no prior coding experience at all and learning this stuff at my age was a challenge. Proof that it can be done. If you are enthusiastic enough and willing to work at it, you will be able to code some modules. I asked for help in the beginning. I still ask for help. I write the simplest of modules. When I get in past my safety zone I reach out to a few friends here on the forum. Thankfully, they have been kind and generous with their help. So, if you have questions, ask! If I can help you, I will. That’s how I pay back the kindness shown to me. Peace

@JerryP , hi, the module is MMM-rain-forecast

update successful

@sdetweil can you share what you did? I am also doing a 4k setup and love it, but trying to figure out some font sizes

@monkeyking said in Big landscape mirror with two displays: upgrade my smart mirr thanks i’ll check it out

@lucallmon Try with some candies first :)

Hah I bought 5x of these monitors for work. They shipped me 6…Thinking about using the spare one to do this exact this. (At 80$ A piece on sale couldn’t beat it)

o.k. danke dir… und das ist SCHWARZFOLIE keine Spiegelfolie???

@Babene1 Hi , I try to explain a bit more. Everything is in the wall . I used one Raspberry 4 and an housing with a quit fan on top . On top of the wooden wall is the PIR mounted. Works fine if someone is going from our kitchen to the living room. Both monitors come back in 5 seconds . If I am about 3 meters away the wake up process starts. Perfect for me and my family. The controlling of the screens is a quite „push the Button“ Action . I started to control everything with Alexa , but early in the morning or quite late in the evening I don’t like to talk to much … but in general it also works . Back to the buttons . I use a conbee Zigbee stick in a second Raspi placed in our basement of the house. On this second Raspi the software ioBroker is installed . So if I push the Zigbee button it will send an trigger to the ioBroker via conbee. The ioBroker translates with an program script the Zigbee trigger into an MQTT trigger . This MQTT is uses with the MQTT Bridge in the MagicMirror to push notifications to the MagicMirror … yes quite difficult, but it works fine and the delay is not to big ( Max 0.5 sec.) I also started to test with real wired buttons. The plan was to bore holes in the wood an place a few buttons , but I decided to do in regards of a cleaner view of the wood wall. Here some more pictures [image: 1607105700552-c8cf75f6-0094-4c33-a615-b8eb26afa5db.jpeg] [image: 1607109247581-1607105700550-a9d693d0-b964-49fb-8461-e92119d321e8.jpeg]

@boybay7 I’m just starting to gather the pieces to build mine and then I see yours and realize I’ve got to make this look really nice. I’m impressed. Yours looks factory made.

Thank you very much! I like your modules, I appreciate them, and it’s an honor for me that you like the mirror!

@sdetweil I figured that icon was of some mountains and the sun and not a person.

Just added a change that now shows snowfall! The precipitation graph is blue for rain, and white for snow. Latest version updated in the GIT repository. [image: 1606160104529-mirror-with-snow.jpg]

@lillaeriika would you be willing to share what you modified for the avatars to show up? Thank you

Sorry about the delay! Lots of other projects going on at the Fortress Hepler. To answer your questions, @johnnyboy : I created a simple one-line script that plays the video on a loop and then added it to the PM2 management via pm2 start boo.sh and pm2 save. I disabled the Magic Mirror interface via pm2 stop MagicMirror and pm2 save. Now when then mirror boots, PM2 only watches over the script that calls the video playback. It’s not running the MagicMirror interface. No sense using all that overhead and calls to the weather API when it’s not being displayed. Caveat: the right display runs a video on loop under normal circumstances. Commenting out the one line that runs that video file and adding a line to play a different video file was trivial. Yes, VLC has the option to play a playlist or single file on a loop. You can find the command line options at VLC Help Not really. The file is already on the disk and sized to the resolution of the monitor. There’s no CPU or GPU intensive tasks and the on board hardware acceleration takes care of most of it. @elitecybernet - Yeah, there is sound included in the video files. I turned it down as it got really distracting really quickly. The video is only like 3 minutes long and hearing the demonic laughter every 3 minutes got old. I think the left portrait was at 50% volume and the right was completely muted. Now that Halloween is gone, I reverted the left & right displays to their original format. Because PM2 manages the scripts, it took all of 30 seconds per display. The hardest part was remembering their IP address so I could log in.

New idea for magic mirror with a frame made out of wood and epoxy resin. I wanted to put leds in it for better lighting my room[image: 1605018787182-2020-11-10-15_32_10-info-center.png]
