  • Magicmirror with frame - Power consumption with Tibber

    I came across Magicmirror in an article about a norwegian power supplyer and decided I should give it a go. Another norwegian fellow had made a module for Tibber (the power supplyer in question) which showed power consumption, price, voltage and much more live on screen. I already had a Raspberry Pi 4 lying around from some other projects I had been working on, so that was my base. Materials and cost: Raspberry Pi 4 - 80 EU (including power supply and case) Display 22" Dell Monitor - Free (Old monitor which i had lying around) Frame - Had to buy wood, which costs a newborn child and the blood of your secondborn these days, aprox. 30EU Glass - Free, found an old window which someone gave away online. Had to buy a glass-cutter, cost about 10EU Sunscreen window film. Usually used on car-windows, but worked flawlessly for this application and really gave it an extra dimension with a “mirror” look - 10EU Paint, glue and screws were leftovers from other projects aswell - Free Total cost: ~130EU included Raspberry Modules Included: newsfeed, alert, updatenotification, clock MMM-Tibber MMM-YrNow MMM-YrThen MMM-CalendarExt2 MMM-Xkcd Process: I installed MMM on Raspberry first. The whole proccess took me a almost a month on and off. I love to go deep and fiddle with code and things I have no clue how to do, can spend hours problem solving small problems who no one else even would think about. My initial though was just to have the MMM-Tibber module, and not much else. But this quickly changed when I took a look at all the modules which were available. I ended up having a calendar, newfeed, weather and the XKCD-comic. The biggest challenge, programming-wise, was getting the MMM-CalendarExt2 to work and I spent probably two weeks trying to figure out how to get everything working. In the end I managed to get everything working the way I wanted, and it now includes work and private calendars for both my girlfriend and me, birthdays and trash collection. The calendar-types are iCloud, Office365 and Google. iCloud was a challenge getting to work, but I got it working by adding a new calendar within my Gmail account and linking that to the private .ics link from iCloud. That seems to be working fine. One thing i couldnt get working was the ability to transform the title of events based on the content of either title or description of the event. I have made another post about that, so if anyone feel the urge to help me out, please have a look. Second challenge, carpentry. I am in no way a carpenter, but I am practical. So after spending way to much time planning, i finally decided to make two frames. The inner frame would hold the display and the outer frame would enclose everything and leave just enough height that it would be square with the glass ontop of the screen. I sadly have no pictures of the making of the frame. The display is glued to the inner frame with a little dot of glue in each corner, and the glass is glued to the outer frame with a thin line around the egde. This way, i can unscrew the inner frame from the outer frame and the display will come of without touching the glass. (At least I hope that will work, I have no intention or desire to test this at this point!) Way forward As you can see from the pictures below, I have left a little square below the display. This is where I am planning to fit a camera for motion detection, so that the display doesnt always have to be on. This has been a really fun project, and I hope I can actually get some use out of this compared to some of the other stupid things I spend my hard earned money on.

    @jakobud [image: 1636451592211-glass.jpg] The price that i paid just before our 2020 lockdown in March was actually R544-00. That accounts to US$ 36.44 with today’s exchange.

    @sdetweil not really. I have it running desktop-less on my Pi Zero W. There are some scripts behind that run virtual browser and take screenshot of it. It’s described in the link above that inspired me to do this.

    @beuzzette no, I have no ideas on inexpensive displays. I am always looking. I just upgraded my hall display to a 43 in-4k tv, to better display my photography. $100 us. but not led. was 32in 1080p.

    @deanonoire Great Job! Actually, I personally wouldn’t modify the frame and leave it as it is. It has s kind of special rural look, that I like.

    @doppelganger It isn’t really that bad. Unfortunately that was an early Fathers Day gift and now at fathers, so I can’t show the exact configuration . But for instance, the below gives you shadows and radiused corners. I just copied from the CSS on @Piranha1605 Black Boxes example and dropped it in my custom.css file. Just delete modules you don’t have, add ones you do have. For me that meant deleting newsfeed, compliments and both the weatherforecast and currentweather since the weather module takes place of current and forecast. /** module.color_border_shadow */ .module.clock, .module.calendar, .module.newsfeed, .module.weatherforecast, .module.currentweather, .module.compliments { padding:8px; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 2em 6em #000; background: transparent; } So mine is: module.clock module.calendar module.weather module.MMM-SmartWebDisplay { padding:8px; border-radius: 15px; box-shadow: 0 2em 6em #000; background: transparent; } The iFrame was a roll of dice on my part but it worked with no problems I increased border-radius: to 15px (I think) but may be 12px and got more of a radius than in the original example. I copy/pasted his header from the #3 example neomorphism to get the headers on the weather and calendar to get shadowed look. Clock has no header so no effect.

    Hi @reaper81, awesome good looking mirror you have built! Another question regarding the window foil. Was it already mounted on the back of the mirror or did you do this on your own. If yes for “on your own”, what kind of foil was it in order to have a proper connection between mirror glass, foil and wooden frame?
