Just out of curiosity: Why would you need 180W output power in a smart mirror?

This guy ( link ) uses a similar amp on his pi, but with less power.

Hi, yes this is exactly what I did for my house.

First of all, i have a connected xiaomi wifi extension plugs, so plug 1 = my screen, plug 2 = the RPI3

when I say “OK Google turn on/off the screen”, it switches on/off the screen according to an http request (WARNING to local IPs on IFTTT) that i ve included on ifttt.

Same thing for the RPI if I want to reboot or switch off or switch on (ssh commands via http requests).

The only thing that I still can’t do, I would like to do is changing the profile with the great plugin profile switcher :
http://192.168.0.136:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=“News”

The issue is this is a local IP… I don’t know how to run a script from my server (opened to the internet) that could run this local http request :( is there any function in PHP?

Hi Konrad. Although I have 5 panes of glass, I am still working on getting the config right on my first one. I have it running but am trying to get the MyNotes module working. I’m having some difficulties though :(

https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA also uses the Weather Underground API and it seems to be a very popular module with excellent support from the author

@tedzhu

My $0.02:

That page is long enough without adding images to it. I think the current system works fine. You browse the modules by reading the short description. When something catches your attention you click on it and are brought to the readme. The readme usually has a picture and all the information you need. If it doesn’t, that’s a shortcoming of the author, and even then, nothing is required of the author but merely recommended.

Hi, I’m in the process of building my first SM. Trying to familiarize myself with the coding and such. I would like to add inputs on SM screen when an input is seen by the PI. Inputs like “FENCE GATE OPENED” when the PI sees ‘true/faults’ on a certain input. Possibly several other inputs too, maybe one like ‘GARAGE DOOR OPEN’ until it’s closed. I would like the SM to turn ON the monitor even if it’s off at the time, possibly even a tone to alert you. Not sure where to look for this coding but would like some advise. Thanks!

@mbeiswenger Suggest you take the free TryGit course. You can also consult the Git documentation and ask questions here (search first!).

In terms of collaborating, it depends if you will all be working on the same or different features. You will want at least one fork. Also, make your commits small and related (not “here is MM3.0” but “added optional config param capitalizeAll to newsfeed“). You can either share contributor access to a single branch, or all have them fork-your-fork and submit Pull Requests to your fork/branch. You shouldn’t need to modify .gitignore – it should already ignore the right files plus a lot of OS-specific cruft.

If you ever intend on submitting your changes to the MM develop (not master) branch, see the contributing notes in Contributing.md.

Sincere thanks. I really appreciate it. It’s just what I was looking for.

I finally received my replacement mirror and it has no defects. So basically I got two mirrors for 48€ incl. shipping. The first has only a tiny defect which makes it still usable for a second mirror.

My frame is also almost done. I just painted it a second time and I am now waiting for the paint to dry. Next week I should be able to put everything together.

@Albinolan I had the same idea a few months ago and I’m still thinking about realizing this. There is, after all a module here that can show pictures in the background. There is also one guy using MM without a mirror on his fridge.

Lots of cool ideas

Regarding this: The smart mirror idea has been getting some push in recent months/years and some people try to make money out of it. There’s a lot open source to build upon I guess.

@Myst yes, would make sense in the wiki

@cruunnerr said in what mic?:

In some cases it could be, that USB mic’s got a little more latency

I can confirm this. I’ve been doing a lot of voice work recently and there is a noticeable lag when using a USB microphone. If you’re using a Pi then you don’t have any choice but to use USB. :-/

@redink if you can, get their SSID and password and enter those in the PI wifi config before delivery.

Personal information, like calendar etc you should just leave the default settings and then help them set up their calendar after first boot up.

So what I’m saying is, leave it as stock as possible (so they can start it up and look at it) after that help them with the personal stuff :)

@Mykle1 Thanks for your quick response.

glad to hear that.

moreover u did a great job with your mirror ;)

@Mastermark maybe they have some sort of non metallic mirror coating (foil?)?

there is also an option to activate “description” in the newsfeed module to get more information.
(if the rss-source have put anything in the description that is)

@joela85 Currently I’m using my phone and laptop to play Spotify. MMM-Scrobbler works fine when I’m streaming using phone and laptop, but when I try to stream using raspberry pi the track information won’t update.

. double opt in didn’t seem to work a while back, is it working now?

I doubt that. Their email addresses are random characters @ outlook.com

Hi @kiki99:

You can send the SCREEN_WAKEUP notification to MMM-PIR-Sensor via MMM-Remote-Control (some details how to structure the GET request here): https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6106/use-mmm-buttons-to-hide-show-modules).

If you can get the Alexa wakeword to send the notification, it should wake the monitor as though you triggered the PIR.
