@openphil Schaut super aus / looks great ! :-)

@sdetweil said in Starting My Magic Mirror Project: @imchrisrein the point of the QR code is so you don’t have to display it on screen too… u can at least turn off the password display Yeah I just figured if someone comes in with a laptop, how will they scan the QR code? Before I did this module I couldn’t remember my guest wifi password and would just let them sign on the main one because it was easier.

@smowk really ? wow :baby: no assistant display response… ha ? :face_with_tears_of_joy: I think you can do better … :dizzy_face:

@datamunk hello, Just a question to help you. How did you configure your MMM-Wallpaper to show iCloud photo (copy of the config file) ?

@lxne Thanks! yes they are just glued you see my method of glueing better in this post https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9154/bathroom-magic-mirror No, I don’t use chrome spy, I bought the mirrors here https://www.glas-star.de/spionspiegelnachmass/chrome-spy-spiegel/

@jamaces very cool… I bought a 32 in roku tv… my son went to a swap meet today and bought 3-32in roku tvs for $20 each… crazy

I betcha if you lit her face better, she could use it for a makeup mirror. That’s where the darkness comes in, from the reflections being reduced to allow for shine through. See what happens with a light ring behind the mirror, and if it works, you can add lighting to the frame so to highlight faces and provide a good makeup mirror. :)

Re: My mini magic Alarm Clock! Morning all! I’m brand new to all of this. I was wondering if it would be possible to set gpio pins when the alarm goes off? I wanted to build a pokemon clock for my daughter and have it activate one of her pikachu toys when the alarm goes off. Is there a way to do this in config or would it require a fork of the alarm module? I was also wondering if anyone has done a change the alarm time based on touch screen rather than a config update? Thanks very much!

@leduy87vnhn could you give us some information on how you integrated Google Home with MM. Thanks

@jasondreher I understood that you used GA to send commands to the MM. So what do you use? Thanks

very nice … do you use real mirror of acrylaat ?? thanks

I started with a kit including frame, mirror, and LCD - then added an IR Frame to make it touchscreen. [image: 1611866781497-rlewis.jpg]

Hello All, I am new to MM2. I have done my fair share of configuration of MM. I am unable to understand how to make two modules communicate with each other. For eg: I want to connect MMM-WeatherOrNot with MMM-Snow just FYI, MMM-Snow is a module that puts snow flakes if the config is set to Snow with other configurable options being Water or Heart. If I want to pass on the information from Weather module to change the parameter to different valuew, how should I do. Any guidance will be highly appreciated. I have many other use cases to make the magic mirror more magical(or smart I should say) for eg my BMW module shows the fuel left. I have integraed with an external API to extract the pertrol prices and I want my mirror to show the nearby Petrol Station with the fuel prices only when the leftover fuel reaches a defined minimum threshold. Thanks in Advance.

@Fozi Thanks!

@Stormanzo Hey mate, used one way mirror glass from Viridian glass! Heavy though, was like 8mm thick, couldn’t find any thinner in Australia

@Bolovai good to know it’s not just my config. Would be great if it stayed current when you use fixed in MMM-pages too… But it looks great… So small complaints 😂

@SiDuMo Thank you! I’ve been struggling to get my calendar looking the way I want, so the config helps.

Very post ! Can you please share with MM modules you have used ?

First of all - thank you to everyone who created and contributed to this project and to this forum and the various support threads on GitHub. I have a long standing hit-or-miss result when I dabble with this kind of stuff. MagicMirror has been a solid HIT! I found everything so well documented that most of the common issues I ran into had been discussed and solved before. I’ve got two SD cards runnable. I did the first setup over the holidays and stuck with the basics. Time, weather for my location, compliments (that’s a nice touch - I really like that part of this project). I was able to set up several of our local news RSS feeds (only to find out that they all really have the same headlines so I cut back how many feeds I was pulling from). I couldn’t resist the Dad Jokes module and have had many good chuckles thanks to that one already. I then made a second SD, starting from scratch rather than cloning the first…good opportunity to learn deeper. Once I had it at par with the first I proceeded to get MMM-Face-Reco-DNN functioning, identifying four of us in this household and adjusting the mirror accordingly. I’ve JUST got my shop tidied enough that I can get my table saw out to make the frame for the screen and mirror so will post photos of that process. The glass measures about 18” x 25” (vertical) and I used one way mirror film direct from the Amazon with pretty decent success. The cost of the glass and film was less that $30 combined. A true mirror would have cost me $130 locally. I found the screen through Kijiji - a 24” Samsung T240. It wasn’t until I got home that I discovered it was a hybrid HDTV/Display. That’s not ideal actually. It means more weight to the build because of all the TV related stuff. However it may prove valuable down the road in terms of added functionality I may get from having a reversion tuner built into the screen. We’ll see about that. One day. One other downside is the lack of a power brick. This weight again is built into the screen. And it also means a pretty thick cord going up the wall to the mirror. But not deal breakers. I’m super pumped to hang this up and enjoy it. So thanks again for all the help you all didn’t even know you were providing me. I look forward to making more and more of this Magic Mirror. Pics to follow (once I learn more about how this forum works).
