    Hi MagicMirror team, I wanted to share with the community my MagicMirror project featuring a completely custom-built LEGO frame! Hardware Setup: Display: Vertical monitor Computer: Initially Beelink (mini PC), now migrating to Dell OptiPlex D10U System: Ubuntu (Server → Desktop) PIR sensor for automatic screen on/off control via MQTT Implemented Modules: Clock & Calendar (with Italian custom calendar) Weather (Italian weather with hourly and daily forecasts) Compliments (motivational messages) News Feed (Italian news) Automatic screen control via PIR sensor and Node.js Unique Feature: The LEGO frame is completely customizable and modular. It includes: LEGO minifigures on top Colorful decorations on the sides with bricks from various collections Decorative elements (stars, clouds, stickers) Design that perfectly integrates into the home environment Technical Challenges Solved: MQTT integration for PIR control Italian weather modules configuration Optimization for vertical display Power management and automatic screen shutdown The project became not only functional but also a decorative element appreciated by the whole family. The LEGO frame makes the MagicMirror less “techy” and more accessible, especially for children.

    I’m hoping to use this microphone with the mmm-awesome-alexa module and was wondering if it was compatible with the pi? Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086D439F8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7ih0Eb4NY47M9

    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS : I have a brand new mirror from PILLINKGTON that I want to sell. The mirror was never used but has been received with a broken edge of about 5 cm (height). The original size/details are as follows : 1x Mirropane™ Chrome Spy 6MM Width : 58 cm Height : 95,5 cm Weight : 8,31 Kg To be clear : The size presented above are the original size (without the broken edge), so this mirror can be used for anyone that needs a mirror with a height equal or less than 90,5 cm and a width equal or less than 58 cm. The purpose was to build a big 40 inch mirror, that means that for my project, this mirror cannot be used anymore but for everyone who has a project that needs a smaller mirror, this mirror can be used and (made) cut by any glazing manufacturer (to be done by the buyer or myself (upon request) - should not cost more than 20€) following your needs and be used as a must cheaper alternative than buying a new one. The selling price is 60€ (without the shipping fees and cut). The mirror is still originally packed and is located near the Belgium/German border, so we can talk about the shipping or pickup if anyone is interested. Instead of leaving it in my garage, I thought that it could be useful for someone, so don’t hesitate to get back at me. Questions are welcome. See pictures below. BITTE LESEN SIE DIE ANWEISUNGEN SORGFÄLTIG DURCH: Ich habe einen brandneuen Spiegel von PILLINKGTON, den ich verkaufen möchte. Der Spiegel wurde nie benutzt, wurde aber mit einer gebrochenen Kante von ca. 5 cm (Höhe) empfangen. Die Originalgröße / Details sind wie folgt: 1x Mirropane ™ Chrome Spy 6MM Breite: 58 cm Höhe: 95,5 cm Gewicht: 8,31 kg Um es klar auszudrücken: Die oben angegebene Größe entspricht der Originalgröße (ohne gebrochene Kante). Daher kann dieser Spiegel für alle Personen verwendet werden, die einen Spiegel mit einer Höhe von höchstens 90,5 cm und einer Breite von höchstens 58 cm benötigen. Der Zweck war es, einen großen 40-Zoll-Spiegel zu bauen, was bedeutet, dass dieser Spiegel für mein Projekt nicht mehr verwendet werden kann, aber für alle, die ein Projekt haben, das einen kleineres Spiegel benötigt, kann dieser Spiegel durch jeden Verglaser nach Ihren Wünschen gechnitten und verwendet werden (schnitt des Glases sollte vom Käufer betätigt werden (oder ich kann dass nach absprache machen ) - sollte nicht mehr als 20 € kosten (zb. bei Bauhaus/Obi etc…)), und als eine billigere Alternative als der Kauf eines neue Spiegels verwendet werden. Der Verkaufspreis beträgt 60 € (ohne Versandkosten und schnitt des spiegels). Der Spiegel ist noch ursprünglich verpackt und befindet sich in der Nähe der belgisch-deutschen Grenze, sodass wir bei Interesse über den Versand oder die Abholung sprechen können. Anstatt es in meiner Garage zu lassen, dachte ich, dass es für jemanden nützlich sein könnte, also zögern Sie nicht, sich bei mir zu melden. Fragen sind willkommen. Bild befindet sich unten. VEUILLEZ LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT LES INSTRUCTIONS: J’ai un tout nouveau miroir PILLINKGTON que je veux vendre. Le miroir n’a jamais été utilisé mais a été reçu avec un bord cassé d’environ 5 cm (hauteur). La taille / détails d’origine sont les suivants: 1x Mirropane ™ Chrome Spy 6MM Largeur: 58 cm Hauteur: 95,5 cm Poids: 8,31 Kg Pour être clair: la taille présentée ci-dessus est la taille d’origine (sans le bord cassé), donc ce miroir peut être utilisé pour toute personne qui a besoin d’un miroir d’une hauteur égale ou inférieure à 90,5 cm et d’une largeur égale ou inférieure à 58 cm. Le but était de construire un grand miroir de 40 pouces, cela signifie que pour mon projet, ce miroir ne peut plus être utilisé mais pour tous ceux qui ont un projet qui a besoin d’un miroir plus petit, ce miroir peut être utilisé et (faire) découper par n’importe quel vitrier (à faire par l’acheteur (ou je peux m’en occuper si nécessaire) - ne devrait pas coûter plus de 20 €) en fonction de vos besoins et être utilisé comme une alternative moins chère que d’acheter un nouveau mirroir. Le prix de vente est de 60 € (hors frais de livraison et découpe). Le miroir est toujours dans son emballage d’origine et est situé près de la frontière belgo-allemande, nous pouvons donc parler de l’expédition ou de l’enlevement sur place si quelqu’un est intéressé. Au lieu de le laisser dans mon garage, j’ai pensé qu’il pourrait être utile à quelqu’un, alors n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Les questions sont les bienvenues. Voir photos ci-dessous.

    @askmahesh Thank you for your kind response. For Acrylic sheet you will need to build a complete frame, after taking allowances as suggested by @bhepler

    @PHAGE-GOV edit the file as root if u are not root, then u must use the sudo prefix on a command commands to edit on linux are vi, nano and (too many) others… I use nano SO its sudo nano /etc/fstab has nothing to do with MM, just basic linux skills.

    @chassain-0 said in MMM-Pages and copies of modules: hello, you have to copy calendar to calendar2 folder, rename calendar.js to calendar2.js and rename in Module.register(“calendar2”,{… Then in defaultmodules. js add “default/calendar2”. Thank you very much, I followed your instructions and it works now!!!

    @Egnos Well, I find the price is reasonable. At the time we built our house (4 years ago) sensors and actors for HomeKit accessories were not available, except for switching some outlets or similar. We wanted to retrofit a wireless home automation system, which works reliable and is flexible. Thus, the decision fell on Homematic. There are a few good platforms (open source) to combine various systems with each other, e.g. ioBroker (which I use) or openHub. And yes, MMM-Homematic is the module I have on the mirror.

    @sdetweil I did as you suggested and installed the waveshare drivers after loading the desktop the first time, plus a little raspi-config action. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

    Thank you for your instructions. Unfortunately, this does not work for me. I have a 42 “frame over a 32” monitor. The monitor is only a part of the touch frame area. According to your instructions, no error message appears, but the ratio does not fit in the calibration. Do you have a tip for me here?

    Hi all, Need to build α magic mirror for my bathroom and i am a bit on the stuck side regarding h/w needed. I do have a 13.3 monitor out of an old laptop, http://www.panelook.com/B133XW01 V0_AUO_13.3_LCM_overview_441.html I am considering buying a universal controller like this one, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A81-2-PA-V56-V59-Universal-LCD-Driver-Board-DVB-T2-TV-Remote-Controller-3663/143556583408?hash=item216ca39ff0:g:7JoAAOSwcIxeXcrN I have noticed that there are other options as well but since an additional requirement is to drive an 8Ω 10w 6" speaker through this, i believe this is my best bet (it says that its audio output is 2ch 8W) 3 questions, Do i need to buy an additional led backlight driver and if yes will the following do the job? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Backlight-LED-Constant-Current-Board-Driver-Board-12-connecters-LED-Strip-Tes-ns/352821281750?hash=item5225c983d6:g:b8cAAOSw~kBc4iWw It has so many channels and cables that confuses me of which to plug, if any… Is there any other option, simpler-leaner? If you notice on the panelook link at the backlight section, it says that it is “with a led driver”. So does this mean that i do not need an extra driver? Hence, can the monitor just be plugged with the controller and work? Will the controller handle the above spec’d speaker or will i need to install an amplifier as well? thank you very much!
