Hello

Can somebody in EU build one for me ?

@Sean
That is Awesome Sean, sorry if this is what you meant in other post as I was confused by what you meant by making other, seperate, calendars within my own, but those links have fully answered it. so thanks very much for that, I will now go have fun setting everything up.

Thanks very much for the helpfull info I will look deeper into both options and see which works better for my needs.

Hi,
i would like to see the Live Cam from Brandenburger Tor on my MM.

http://www.earthtv.com/de/webcam/berlin-brandenburger-tor

What do you think, shall i embedd the live video? E.g. with Iframe Module? But how?

Has someone experience with embedding Webcams from the Internet?

Hi, I have this idea about one year ago. I brainstorming my thinking on a paper and search the internet for more details, tips and tricks and same projects. I found some othe but nothing perfekt for me. So I decide to code it by myself. I think I like to use the same structure that mm use. for my project. Because I didn´t have a lot of codeing experince i ask in this forum. But till now nobody can help me. I think its a great idea and and a great project. But at this time its only draw on paper by myself :-(

@robinvandernoord said in Spelling on front page:

Shouldn’t built be build?

Yes, it should.The documentation was written by people whom English is a second language, I think. (Therefore, I am.)

Anyway, nice first post. Heh. :^)

I’ve built three mirrors so far. The first was with acrylic and the next two were glass. The glass is definitely the way to go. The acrylic warps a bit so you get a slight funhouse mirror effect, especially along the edges. I built that one in my garage, but it now lives in Florida. The change in climate made the frame expand and put pressure on the edges of the acrylic, making it warp slightly.

The glass doesn’t have this problem. (Although both of those mirrors are local).

MMM-EARTH captured a unique perspective of the recent Total Solar Eclipse and I could not be more pleased. We’ve all seen the pictures of the sun eclipsed by the moon’s transit. A truly awe inspiring event. But who has seen the shadow that passed over the earth? MMM-EARTH, that’s who.

Ok, so I’m bragging a little, but come on! It’s friggin cool!

@Kimzer said in LED Backlight for mirror - PIR to control them:

Found this hue motion but i couldnt get it to run.
Anyone that has some input?

So i managed to do this. Its probably quite a dirty fix. And only setup to work with phillips hue bulbs/strips. But if u want to know shoot me a pm and ill show it.

@yawns said in How do I delete my MagicMirror Forum Account?:

Just out of curiosity: why do you want to leave? :)

Yeah, @anustart, why? This is only the bestest forum ever! :^)

@devtech8 Ok…
So, first I have a normal RPi with a Jessie Lite installation (just to keep everything to a minimal).
Then I followed this guide to get it running. When that guide is done. You have a fully working MM on the RPi (local installation). The config and all other information of my build you can find here.

Then after that I’m running a normal Ubuntu server 16.04 (in a container (a sort of VM)) with two instances of MM running om two different ports, I followed this guide (manual installation) and in server mode two times and just put them in different folders.
Here you can find my dev and server config. The server config is basically the same as my RPi config. I’m just using it for testing before adding stuff to the RPi.

To display a page in Electron that resides on another server (not the RPi) I’m not sure how to do. I have not done that. When I displayed my MM from the server on the RPi, I used Chromium in “Kiosk-mode” (as mentioned before).

This forum is full of GREAT people you can ask anything! I scavenged the forum (and tested stuff on a dev mirror) for moths before I actually built my mirror. :)

pm2 is used in this case to start and stop and troubleshoot the mirror. Otherwise it’s an extremely powerful tool in a “node” environment. I will go so far as to say that it is almost mandatory to use if you want to have control of you node apps. :)

@iamoric As I’ve said, any LCD is ok. MagicMirror is not your luxury furniture. Even if, the quality comes from the mirror and the frame, not the monitor. :)

I see a rectangle character in front of the movie title, what can be? Thank you.

Hi there!! so personally I purchased from www.twowaymirrors.com due to the fact that no glass companies in my area sold one way mirror/two way glass (they are the same thing, i get that mixed up frequently!) But call around to local glass shops and see!

I personally recommend the glass and not purchasing the acrylic as it is a small price difference for a huge change in the quality, acrylic tends to look less relfective and doesn’t look as natural as the real glass does. I have never used plexiglass so I can not speak to its quality. The real glass looks like a true mirror even more so in my opinion than the “Smart mirror glass” but to each their own! Best of luck i hope this helped answer your question a bit!

@Gamble said in Newbie . Pi + Mirror thus far. Some basic questions:

I’m having trouble about installing the stuff

How to add modules

@RYANO those links are not valid, at the first google throws an error saying error in calendar and the second link returns 404 page

There’s not much that I can find. Here is something for Windows 10 but it is not specific to a tablet.

Hey i got a question.
There are many Alexa plugins for the magic mirror 2 in 3rd party apps.
Is there also a way to do the same with Siri ?
i thought Apple made close to all APIs open ?
Any Help ?

Tanks

That means that you have just installed the raspberry pi operating system whether it’s noobs or noobs lite.

BUT on that note if you had the pi running prior to installing MM you can still install MM.

I’m running 2 pi’s with noobs and one MINI ITX with Unbuntu on it…

IF you don’t have anything installed yes Noobs first then MM…
