Hi all, any experience with Saint Gobain mirrors? It’s the only one I can find locally. Attached specs. I’m told is 6+4mm thick. [image: 1665062235700-saintgobain.png] mentioning the expert, seeking your thoughts! @Goldjunge_Chriz

@krocaq see my comment here , you can do it with ONE directory https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17239/two-display/2?_=1663555322286

UPDATE! From a quick search I have done I decided that it is better to connect arduino and led strip on the same power supply. My led strip is a 3m ws2812b neopixel with 30pixels/meter which consume 60mA/pixel in full brightness so (60*90)/1000=5.4A. The power supply I am using is 5V - 6A so I think it anough for both since arduino’s only job is to send data to led strip. Please If someone has better knowledge of electricity correct me. Thank you.

@korey_sed so they are not making the 4k support available to outside (their function) users…

@sdetweil even better! Then it’ll run on many more operating systems!

@Reif frame has an external connection box. for HDMI connections, don’t know how big it is. one is 5 inches tall https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062213/ but maybe some are smaller https://www.techradar.com/news/the-samsung-one-connect-box-is-back-for-2021-but-something-needs-to-change the one I have on my 2017 82in tv is fairly small, thin [image: 1662811089494-20220910_064727-resized.jpg]

@hesspoint Update: There is actually a custom HA integration that is awesome: https://github.com/sindrebroch/ha-magicmirror So I switched form the REST API to that integration and it is even better

@sdetweil No problem. I will visit the store again when he has the glass to see it myself and if it is possible to see it working. After I will make up my mind.

@sdetweil Thank you for your reply. I’ll post again on their forum.

@Fozi I’m using the psu that came with the RPi 3B+. I have no extension cables. The only things I have attached is the HDMI monitor, Bluetooth keyboard and the SD chip. I wouldn’t think that would be too much for standard psu I’ll take a look at Amazon and get something with a little more umph. Thanks all for the lessons. Dennis

@doctore Ok, I’ll try to see if that works, thankyou!

@sdetweil Ok was looking around for one of those chromebox deals and saw those… Will keep shopping…

@N6NG You might also want to try pololu.com if you are looking to connect to the header on your existing Pi. This is link to their connector page Pololu Connectors

@sdetweil It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card… Fun little learning experience…

@sdetweil Thank you. I will buy one and try it out.

$4999 Holy sh!t…! Well, thanks for your feedback. That’s very useful.

@Radu_Stancu I would really like to have a copy of your module. I’ve been working with the code you posted at the beginning of this topic thread and I’ve gotten tap added. But the wheel just crashes my flick. I’m building a mirror for my Dad and I’d like to surprise him with one he can control with the flick. It would really impress him. I hope you are still checking in on this magicmirror builders forum.

@anthem212 well there are three commands to turn off the output vcgencmd dpms these two turn off the HDMI port, NOT the monitor/tv and cec-client this turns off the monitor/tv IF it supports the cec command(correctly) and then you would need a people sensor, most use use infrared, as it’s ‘easy’. there are modules that put all this together. search here for MMM-PIR Now to get your speed requirements will be a little harder. I use TV’s for my two main mirror systems. 43 and 55 in. one supports cec, the other doesn’t. when I turn off the HDMI port on both, they put up a big NO INPUT screen , and power off after 15 minutes. that is energy star compliant. but you can’t turn them on via software if it supports cec, then maybe you can turn off/on via software. mine is inconsistent. always can turn on, but not off on is the same as pushing the button, takes 15 seconds, displays the product logo and all that. I gave up, and just hide the mm content and leave the TV’s on. the one in the hall I call the nightlight! I also use a webcam for motion detection, instead of pir, cause that’s what I had at the time as yours is a 4k tv, I’m guessing it supports cec install the cec-utils package on pi sudo apt install cec-utils this also only works on my pi 4. not pi3.

@Stroke-0 please don’t multi post same issue…
