Hey there, I am interested in building a new project utilizing RPi and Magic Mirror. While I have been hacking away at stuff, I am looking to contract some folks to help. Get paid to work on your favorite hacking project!

I’m flexible on pay rates, hours, terms etc. Feel free to reply or message me.

Thanks man

Hello,

I’m using the MMM-SmartTouch Module(https://github.com/EbenKouao/MMM-SmartTouch) and I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the my screen go black/have the screen saver activate when I press the white square, and be able to click anywhere on my screen to have the screen display everything again.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

(I know that the white square does that, but I can still see it, since it’s not completely transparent. And if I make it completely transparent I forget where it is and I have to keep tapping different parts of my screen until I find it again.)

@zanewiller seem illogical.
u use them to display tv, so I assume u want the audio.

but u don’t want the audio?

the doc on iframe-ping says it is not active when hidden. so should be silent unless the page being shown uses that module

course if you auto rotate pages, then they will turn on, then off, then on…

@shannons no problem… my pleasure… it gave me something constructive to do while in hospital last year…
and I added it to my mirror for family to add pics for me… so, win win…

@sdetweil :thumbs_up:

@vimsi trying to use this to display tweets from a specific account, but not sure where to start. any suggestions or advice?

Here’s what I’m looking for:

an RSS feed of news items that is cycled through the screen support for an IR remote the ability to select an RSS item with the remote and have it open the corresponding web page. Would be cool if it was a simplified page. The IR should be able to scroll up down the page and ‘tab’ through links if the RSS link is a YouTube video, be able to open that. return to magic mirror at any point

https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-NewsAPI is most similar maybe, but wasn’t sure about adding IR. Any help appreciated!

Recently found an article connected with web3 implementation into business. I would like to se your point of view on this topic. It is said to bring the most impactful innovations to business. What do you think about the popularity of web3?

@kristjanesperanto it’s not on the list

@dangalang28 sure. glare? depends on the room and mounting.

@cowboysdude
It’s not working, it’s showing error
what can I do

@jmadero nothing exists to create this kind of integration.

u will have to invent it.

only voice assistant that is ‘extendable’ is Google assistant, by bugsounet.

see recipes. not well documented.

most other modules don’t have support for taking commands/notifications from outside , so you will have to enhance them to suit your needs

A module to cast to the MagicMirror. Currently, only YouTube casting is supported. You can try following module for screencast.
Navigate to the modules directory via the follow command: cd MagicMirror/modules
Clone the module from github: git clone https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast.git
Navigate to the MMM-Screencast directory: cd MMM-Screencast
Install the dependencies: npm install
Add the following configuration to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

@thgmirror said in Script pishrink reduces the size of backup-images to restore on smaller SD-cards:

@assassins Did you include a zip-process? If the backup is zipped, you can save additionally a lot of space.
Thomas

You can read on pishrink, how to set this to .zip, the script i made is to .img

@jms3700 Outstanding and super simple tutorial thank you!

If you’re just interested in Arduino and led lights this one may be of interest.

Under Cabinet lightingt

This is a project that does require some planning to lay out wires, etc.

But what it does is gives me automatic lights without any other controls needed. The sun comes up the lights go out… turn on kitchen light the lights go out. I generally run most things through Home Assistant and you can this too but I didn’t feel it was necessary to do that. Just made them ‘automatic’ on their own.

My setup: Raspberry Pi 3b+, Acer 17" VGA monitor, HDMI->VGA converter from Pi to monitor, PIR sensor (script uses vcgencmd display to turn on/off), monitor is portrait mode (so turned 90 degree).

My issue: when the PIR sensor detects motion, the Pi script enables the display. The monitor tries to “auto-config” at that time. Most of the time, all is well but sometimes, the monitor auto-configs such that the magic mirror image shown is shifted up a bit. That is, the monitor seems to sync say 2cm down from the top of the expected image. At the bottom of the monitor, you can see a dim black 2cm bar where the bottom 2cm of the image should be. Hope that’s clear. :)

I tried playing with hdmi_* settings in the Pi boot/config.txt file but have had no luck.

It’s an old monitor but when used with my windows PC, it worked fine.

Hello guys,

i have a question with reference to the Magic Mirror module MMM-CalenderExt2. Is it possible to change the with of the single days in the view configuration “month”.

Thanks.

Best regards.
