    @toxeek Just to let you know, I am not part of the core MagicMirror team and my answer is based on my personal interpretation of the situation.

    I wish you every success! 🚀 I would find it interesting if you could tell us about your project later.

  • How to display a pop-up locked pdf from the web?

    Hi,
    I built a Magic Mirror for a school project. It should display the
    representation plan of the school, which is available on their website as a table (PDF). But the PDF is secured by a pop-up window (pic below). I just want to display one column of the table.

    Is it possible to do that?
    Any idea how this could work?

    Thanks,
    Dustin

    Here is your CLI tool to migrate or move all (or some) github issues from one repo to another!
    Unlike some others, it also copies all the labels and all the tags properties (name, color, description).

    [card:E3V3A/gh-missue]

    This is very useful when your repo is full of crap and you wanna start from afresh but keep your issues.

    PS. Require Ruby installed

    @leejaeuk You should create a GitHub repository for your code so that someone can have a look at it.

    I want my mirror to be a touch.
    Is there anything other than an infrared touch frame?
    If you need to use an infrared touch frame, I want to find a frame of 10 inches or less.
    help!

    I would think from a high level architecture view you would be better served running your database on a different node and doing a read every X seconds for display on the mirror. You could run the system stats module to monitor cpu and volatile memory management while testing various approaches, but if you accrue historical data very quickly you could exceed the storage limit on the operating partition and cause performance issues.
    My understanding of hardware/software architecture is a bit dated, however, so someone with more experience on node.js, electron and the various bits that support the Magic Mirror application may have a better response.

    what are your top3 modules you can’t live without?

    This might seem like a shameless plug but it is true to the question.

    Just curious, why would you modify any file other than the config.js and the custom.css file?

    I`m using NextCloud and i figured it out using the following config

    { module: "calendar", header: "username", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "https://username:app_password@nexctcloud.domain.nl/remote.php/dav/calendars/username/8a757113-03ae-4d7a-a6a1-8db4350eee54_shared_by_username?export" } ] } },

    I got the calander name from the webinterface by clicking on the dots right behind the specific calender.

    Note: I am using a dedicated user to login to nextcloud. This user is recieving the “shared” calanders from the actual users. In this way i don`t need to login with my own nextcloud credentials

    Danke @yawns
    Ja, GlancR scheint noch undefinierbare Schwierigkeiten zu haben. Ich verfolge das Projekt seit ca. 2 Jahren und habe bisher kein Produkt gesehen.
    Mues-Tec ist für mich raus, weil “unbezahlbar” (ab 2500€) :)

    Dirror ist laut Bewertungen ein stark spiegelndes Tablet. Erfüllt also mehr einen Nutzen als großes schickes Tablet an der Wand.

    I have NO experience on Pimatic. I like the possibilities of domoticz.

    I use zwave modules, http requests, 433mhz command and espeasy commands to ESP8266 and ESP32
    The flexibility is what I like most.

    Hey everyone,

    I just came across this awesome project. So many cool modules and some top quality builds from looking at the showcases. I’m so impressed by it all and desperate to find the time to build my own smart mirror.

    In the meantime, I’d love to get your thoughts on something I’ve already built, which I think should be a perfect use case for a smart mirror:
    A voice activated AI personal stylist…

    The service is called Able Style and can be found at https://able.style. It is also available on Alexa (“Alexa, enable Able Style”) and Google Assistant (“Ok Google, talk to Able Style”).

    Using the service you can ask, “what shall i wear today?” and it’ll give you outfit suggestions based on your local weather forecast and the items in your wardrobe. It’s easy to tell Able which items you have in your wardrobe by either voice or on the website. You can also upload your own outfits via the website.

    What I’m wondering is, given there are Alexa and Google Assistant modules already built, is it possible to use Able Style via those services? And if so, do you also get the images shown?

    If the answer is no to either of those questions then I guess it’ll need its own module. Tbh, I’d like to build a standalone module for it anyway but it’s less pressing if it’s already fully available via Alexa or GA.

    Would be great to know your thoughts and/or requests as the smart mirror experts that you are! :)

    Thanks,
    Martin

    @serge-cherpy the only way to do this would be to set up a pi as a master and the rest as slaves…ie

    one pi running your main mirror at [for example] 192.168.1.2:8080 [master]
    Then running another pi and opening up a browser to 192.168.1.2:8080 [slave]

    Is one way to do it. I don’t do it that way because all my mirrors do different things and have different purposes.

    Bathroom mirror is an actual mirror
    alarm clock mirror is a 10" touch panel that functions as an alarm clock
    32" inch mirror is a home automation mirror

    But the above method master->slave would work providing you have them all on the same network… if you wanted to run master on one network and the slave on another that would take more work :)

    @Vlasta

    There is no kit that I am aware of but you don’t need too many items. Make yourself a check list. Search this forum for ideas. For starters you’ll need

    MM software gotten from this site, free
    A board to run MM (Pi, or similar, PC board, etc)
    OS (Raspbian, Windows, ubuntu, etc)
    Monitor or TV and cabling
    Mouse and keyboard for installation and setup.

    That’s all you need to get started. Later you can think about:

    2-Way mirror
    A frame (most people make their own)
    Webcam
    Microphone
    Sensors
    BT Speakers
    Lighting

    @Mykle1 ha ha ha! But you have so many modules, you’d get a “D” for effort.
