Well, I got it working! MM and Google AIY on one RPI; great! But I am not a technical person and need help. Before I placed the AIY Hat, I had a pir connected to GPIO22. Now the Hat covers all the GPIO pins, I still want to connect the Pir. Is it possible to connect it to the bottom right connectors (saying GPIO22)? Thanks for your help!

@sharmstr Indeed, I’ve read that in there. Still in the reading part. Kind regards, Mike

@mykle1 Okay, Thanks for the answers. Will order a few fans from Aliexpress sometime soon. No rush. First I want to have the software part ready. :winking_face:

Working on home automation and found this magic mirror which seems to be interesting to get integrated with mesh sensors, So can you please suggest how can I connect the mesh based sensor with magic mirror and create design of dashboard tracker to share the temperature readings with Bar graph, Also need to know how can I send my sensor readings to internet cloud database store the data check previous data whenever needed? Please suggest the better way to make this process functional will be very helpful.

@shazglass Do I really have to comment here? ;-)

It works! I’ve got my pi 3B+ today and installed the magicmirror software right away…and it works right out of the box!

I just started working on my firts magicmirror And like everybody thought of making a frame with an glas 2-way mirror or an acrylic piece with folie over it. Bot tonight I thought: “Way not putting the folie right over te monitor?” That would eliminate the glas or acrylic part.

Hi everyone, I know there is a lot of questions posted about how reflective film compares to glass, so I wanted to share a comparison I made between the two. I’m using two way mirror with a visible transmission of 11%, and comparing to Gila Reflective Film with a rating of 18%. They are mounted onto the same monitor with the same settings. Comparison album: https://imgur.com/a/pXQc66Y I also made a more in depth blog post comparing the two which rates these on Reflection, Transmission, and Simplicity. To give you the notes: the glass mirror looks better, but the film is so much easier to build its a great starting point.

In addition to TwoWayMirror’s post, check locally with business that sell security and/or construction services to hospitals and police stations. Both of those institutions need large two way mirrors installed during initial construction or renovations. They might be able to point you to a local glass supply business or glazier. That said, I’ve used TwoWayMirrors.com and they’re good people.

Here is a link to a comparison post I made a few days ago on the types we offer! https://www.twowaymirrors.com/how-to-choose-your-smart-mirror/ We do ship worldwide - the acrylic two way has the cheapest shipping internationally. Even if you end up going with a different vendor, it is super valuable info to see the visual differences with the mirror types. Avoid the two way film if you can, it creates a funhouse effect and the reflection is dark/blurry in comparison.

@jtmoore81 You are welcome. Please keep us up to date, what you choose :thumbs_up:

I was frustrated with the lack of custom sizes and the shipping gouging so I’m looking to get into this space to help other MM builders get a good price without the BS. I’m a member of Sector67 (Friendly local hackerspace.) so I have plenty of space to store and process imported mirrored acrylic. If you could let me know the size, thickness, price, shipping cost and the state you where in it would better help me understand the demands and current pricing in the market. If we can do this cheaper as a community then way not. Thanks for your help. Casey

@aboulezz said in disable NO signal message: I faced the same problem with my LG screen but found a work around. Step 1) I used wiringpi.com and modified the simple blink example to send out just one impulse: #include int main (void) { wiringPiSetup () ; pinMode (0, OUTPUT) ; digitalWrite (0, HIGH) ; delay (200) ; digitalWrite (0, LOW) ; return 0 ; } Step 2) I modified the PIR modules’ node_helper.js so within the functions activate / deactivate don’t enable/disable the HDMI output but execute my compiled ‘blink’ command. Step 3) I hard - wired the singal pin to the (with resistor / transistor) to the screens power-button. done :-) Can`t i use this instead and make my raspberry a longer time to get the HDMI port visible to the TV, ore do i get the message still when giving the HDMI port a command to show himself. (If u know what i mean).

@bhepler Well, thank you, i saw how Robs (http://robstechlog.com/2017/06/17/building-a-big-magicmirror-with-metal-frame-the-screen/ did, but i don’t feel comfortable enough to do it the same way :)

Hi everyone, I was thinking about the chance to add a physical button to the magic mirror frame but I have a doubt: do I need a breadboard to make the button works or is there another way to integrate a button directly on the frame? I mean, can I connect the pins directly on the gpio (does it work? And how?)? Thaks all.

Hey guys, im new here and from germany. Any new suggestions here? i definitely need an special size so for my spyglas. Where do you actualy buy your mirror? Any other suggestions as myspiegel.de where the only offer 8mm thick mirrors? https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html

I had the same problem but I am using home assistant. I ended up installing MMM remote. And created a switch for on and off parsing theese urls. Maybe that would work for you as well? command_on: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITORON" command_off: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITOROFF"

I would be happy to do so, but I have been struggling to find (good & cheap) port expanders that allow multiple pHATs - ideally 3. If you could recommend some that would be greatly appreciated.
