    @langejos I am assuming you ran wlr-randr prior to creating the scripts to obtain your mirrors current display settings and then using that as input in the mon.sh?

    @1a2a3a said in New 2-way mirror supplier - lower prices and lead times:

    @Ivanov_d say 56*26?

    Apologies for the delayed reply. The supplier has in a New Year’s break for quite a while and was not responding to me.

    The price of a 56x26 cm with polished edges, insured and delivered to Singapore would be 155,37 EUR (65,37 for the mirror and 90 is the shipping)

    My current MagicMirror is an old 40" LCD TV. It’s positioned in area that get a lot of light and is quite hard to read. I am considering rebuilding it with something might brighter. What TV would recommend? Something around 55" would be fantastic.

    @ZiggidyZ That could be a good unit… I’d personally take it off the stand if you’re going to put it in an enclosure, and use a low profile vesa mount like this. You could also build up like a mirror project, just use a clear piece of front material in lieu of a 2 way mirror.

    Anyone got any recommendations for fonts for E-ink screens? Especially with smaller font sizes.

    Running Magic Mirror and Puppeteer to scrape an image to push to a Waveshare 7.5 two colour.

    No judgements on the printed frame, got some new filament coming in, but couldn’t wait to see it all fit together!

    Frame is a modified version of this to suit a Pi 3B+

    @jens19720 Haben Sie Module installiert, die das Display ausschalten, wenn nicht beschäftigt ist oder niemand in der Nähe ist? PIR oder so ähnlich?

    @Michelle-H2020

    I never could get the motion sensing to work as well as I’d like. My solution at night is as others mentioned: a cron job to shut down and then a smart outlet to cut power 5 min later. The smart outlet turns on at 5:45AM so my MM is up and running when I wake up.

    I also implemented a screensaver to run after a period of inactivity to prevent screen burn-in.

    @Kelemvor git is a terminal command not a nodejs command.

    just open a cmd.exe window

    @1a2a3a - One of the modules that I maintain is MMM-WeatherBackground. It will put a background image on your mirror and change it up according to what your weather app forecasts.

    I find that the key feature is the ability to set the transparency of the background image. That way you can adjust how much of the background image is present vs the reflection that you see.

    Re: MMM-xiaomi - Temperature and Humidity from your smarthome

    Hey,

    it seems that the Aqara M2 Hub should work with this module. Has anyone tested this or is using it in the moment? I only want to display multiple Aqara temperature sensors on my MagicMirror without the need to install Home Assistant.

    Recently, I’ve been trying to read data from a BME280 sensor connected to an ESP32. However, the ESP´s are crashing all the time and I can´t identify the error. I’m looking for a reliable solution that just works.

    And I guess the fact that these Sensors communicate with Zigbee is also a better solution

    @pietervanharen typically there are only 3 wires

    power (pin 6)
    ground (pin5)
    signal (pin 4)

    so, power and ground should be easy, and picking an available gpio port should also be easy

    and if you want to.program change it’s behavior the you would connect pins 1 and 2

    @bhepler said in Magic Mirror Mirror/Foil Question:

    @Syosse - In my experience, the light transmission from film is very different than a one-way mirror glass. The film is a compromise for those on a budget. The film will not let as much light through from the monitor as a purchased piece of mirror glass. In my case, the film lets in about 30% of the monitor’s display and the mirror glass lets 50% through.

    Ok, now it’s clear, thank you very much. I’ve now ordered a mirror glass.

    Nice! I think the real-time clock is a useful new feature for the MM. With that we should be able to wake up the Raspberry Pi automatically without any external device.

    @mmcghee cool… also note that the base doesn’t provide any touch support in any module, as they are designed for output only…

    I have two completely new mirrors in the format 380x580mm (1x with polished edges, 1x without polished edges) available immediately (so completely without any waiting times). Is anyone interested? please contact me via private message 🙂
