Re: Fridge-mounted display After getting a new fridge, I wasn’t allowed to drill into it, so I redid my fridge-mounted display. I used a $200 Surface Pro 3 from Ebay (the cheapest model I could find). Here’s what it looks like: [image: 0_1542471334903_smart-fridge.jpg] The SP3 works great as a fridge display. The screen is bright and high resolution, and the power cable is small and easy to attach. It’s smaller than my earlier tablet, so I abandoned my approach of using MagicMirror as the desktop. Instead, I start the following Chromium windows and use the windows hardware key on the right side of the tablet to switch between them: MagicMirror AllRecipes.com DarkSky.com Slideshow with family photos (points to ZenPhoto running on another server) Generic google screen All but the last of these, I run in fullscreen mode. The base operating system is Ubuntu 18.10. The latest Ubuntu works quite well on the SP3. I haven’t found anything that doesn’t work. It has an on-screen keyboard for typing. I use separate Chromium windows for everything. I already had MagicMirror installed on another server, so I just pointed a browser window at that. To attach the tablet, I used four of these magnets. I attached them with Gorilla Glue and brushed on two coats of Plasti Dip. The Plasti Dip decreases the magnetic force some, and it protects the fridge from scratches. Don’t use too much Gorilla Glue. I made that mistake on the first couple, and it makes a mess. You can wipe it off, but some of the excess sticks around. Because of the magnets inside the SP3, the external magnets try to move around as you are gluing them. For the magnets on the kickstand, it helped to fold it out and place magnets on the back side of the kickstand to hold those on the other side. For those on the top of the SP3, I tried to find places they wouldn’t move and set a book on top as they dried. Here is a picture of the back: [image: 0_1542471997677_sp3-w-magnets.jpg] The tablet still works well when detached, and it’s easy to take it on and off the fridge. Overall, this is an easy project. I spent a bit of time tweaking Ubuntu, but it wasn’t bad. If you’re happy with Windows, you could even go with that. I really wanted to put ChromiumOS on here, but both the ArnoldTheBat and CloudReady distributions have older kernels and don’t work as well as the latest Ubuntu on the Surface Pro. One remaining item I’d like to try is motion detection to turn the screen on and off.

Yes @darianbjohnson i second @batfastard I really want Alexa to hide and show modules and for the life of me i am unable to figure out MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall and its corresponding skill…i have gone midway to it where it hears my requests and it tries to do things but no response on the way back to the mirror. Anyhow this would be interesting too D

It looks great! I’m trying to build the same, is it possible for you to upload more pictures? What size monitor are you using? I’m trying to find more ideas and I really like yours. Thanks.

Thanks; this was what I was looking for! My first mirror is a kitchen information screen too. I will try to make this one too (with a personal touch). Peter

Did You ever finish the Yr.no module? :) Any other usefull norwegian modules?

@mykle1 the ToughBook is old… the touchpad doesn’t work, and I have no idea what is wrong with the mic… I have to talk really loud for it to hear me. I tried a USB mic, and it’s the same. So, I’m guessing it has to do with the sound hardware of the laptop. I don’t have any problem with the USB on any of my other devices.

Hey @techcoderun, thanks for your video. Can you link your product mirroir on tapplastics.com ? Great job.

Hey, I want to show my MagicMirror on a 32-inch Samsung TV, it has built-in speakers, I bought a used TV on the market. Pine wood frame and pine oak front. I installed RasPi3 with MM2. Two way mirror 6mm get from old windows. At the moment, this is the basic configuration of the magic mirror. Ultimately, I would like to add a few more modules. Although it would be most important for me to install the PV module on the Fronius inverter.

@rjlinden any reason you didnt use https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition? I’m asking because I would like to add facial recognition and want to know the best way

Looks really great. Thanks for the documentation and the review

@az_geek Thanks man :) “enumerating” thats my programmer head on there :P

Looks really great, a great idea !! I hope that I can show my project soon. At the moment I’m still struggling with some modules that they are finally running. I will build a mirror with 3 monitors :) Liebe Grüsse aus Olten

@dmd Oliko mitään ongelmia tuon MMM-PIR-Sensor:in kanssa, asennuksen yhteydessä? Itse en ole saanut toimimaan. Liitetty oikeaan gpio paikkaan ja asennettu ohjeiden mukaisesti.

@maxbachmann thanks!

Hi all I’ve made 2nd mirror (wedding present) - the 1st mirror in this post. Mirror 150x40 cm, 4mm, but the parametrs are uknown :-( 3rd party modules: calendar_monthly MMM-SimpleLogo MMM-WunderGround MMM-CountEvents Photos: [image: alt text] [image: alt text] [image: alt text] [image: alt text] [image: alt text]

I’ve aded some more modules, do small touches on CSS and this is result: [image: alt text]

Thank you :) i mean depth of the frame after mirror is installed I want to know if everything from my setup will have enough space

looking good

@mykle1 :-) ok. Anyway. I had not seen the pics from the mobile . I think I will finally settle for a raspiecam and embed it in the frame . Quality is ok. And lens small. Glass: either guldjugz or mirroview 50 50

PIR sensor connected and everything is working as it should :) [image: 0_1535100334913_IMG_2139.JPG] [image: 0_1535100344632_IMG_2140.JPG]
