@strawberry-3-141 I tried putting this into cutstom.css and changing the left and right px . But nothing happened . I want to shift my clock to the right a little for alignment . Is there anything I’m doing wrong ? Thank you .

@HayyatAli I’ve already built four or five magic mirrors now. I always proceed the same way: Buying the Raspberry Pi, as @nischi has already posted Buy a monitor the size you want to install later. Please make sure that you get a monitor that switches to sleep mode without a signal on HDMI and does not switch to a completely green or blue screen for minutes before :-) Installation of Raspian Installing Magic Mirror (just follow the hint from @nischi here) Installation of additional components such as motion detectors or a button to reboot the Raspberry then run the whole thing without wooden frame and mirror for a few days/weeks to detect bugs, try modules, detect incompatibilities, etc. Construction of a frame from e.g. wood Then take measurements for the mirror glass. Purchase of a spy mirror Assembly of components Here you can find a building instruction for my big mirror in the bathroom. I mounted an aluminium plate behind the spy mirror, which gives the whole thing stability, holds the monitor elegantly and ensures that no light falls through the spy mirror from behind. Greetings Sepp

IMHO: Frameless monitors are okay. I personally remove the plastic bezel from the monitors so they’re essentially frameless anyway. If you’re uncomfortable with this, you can solve it by slinging money at the problem and buying a frameless monitor. The facing frame that you build in a typical mirror is going to put a border around the edges anyway. There is padding around the edge built into the Magic Mirror default stylesheet, so this becomes kind of a moot point. I have not built a touchscreen mirror, mainly for the reasons you mention. I try to keep my mirror looking like a mirror, and avoid finger smudges. A lot of people want a touch interface for some reason. I don’t personally understand it. The interface is mostly push, not push-and-drag so that’s more or less a non-issue. I relocate mine to the bottom of the box, hidden behind the frame. For the most part, they’re unused. But I like to leave them accessible just in case. My first mirror had a camera behind the acrylic that would detect movement. The latest mirror also uses a camera behind the glass. The next one will probably feature a hole drilled in the facing frame for the sensor. With a little patience and sharp tools, it can be very discreet.

you can try this maybe this works for you but debends on your system/ environment set internet explorer default page to “http://localhost:8080” use windows key + r (run command) type “shell:startup” (open a windows explorer) create here a file with filetype *.bat (e.g. StartMagicMirror.bat) type: @echo off START /max iexplore.exe cd C:\Users\MyUser\MagicMirror\ node serveronly save an close and doubble click on the file, Internet Explorer should open and magic mirror should start. Now you can restart an test

@Stoffbeuteluwe i don’t think so… it just says you are using commandline to install vs the gui tools…

Yes, I use Mmm-syslog to do this as well, to show and hide icons on my magic mirror for garage door, laundry, trashday… The laundry one is posted here https://github.com/jasondreher/MMM-door-sensor3

@pnobrega I think the difference is you could build a module with the voice kit. Otherwise u cannot interact w the mirror, without some other module

@sdetweil I am very jealous!! I have being working on this module for weeks now. I have finally got to this stage… [image: 1561319130519-85fe41d2-5626-4718-b248-ed15dad6947d-image.png] I get Chimes when MM first start up. Its just now I can’t get to prove that my mic is working or get Assistant to output any sound or answer/recognise any voice commands. Clearly you got to this stage. What would you advise my next actions be please? Sounds like youre doing a great job anyway. Would love to see it. Jonathan

@Sean Hi, pm2 install was with error but it works …MM starts automatically.

@Wedee Thank you. I’ve been searching internet ages for this info

To hide modules you probably could use MMM-Remote-Control: https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control I don’t have any experience with YouTube module, though

@ttarzan ok thank you will try this

I hate to be the naysayer, but do remember that depending on your country you may not be able to sell Magic Mirrors as a business. The patent holder on the technology is a Japanese company, I believe. You can make them for personal use & gifts but you can’t sell them as a business without paying them royalties. @MichMich is probably the best person to ask about such things as I believe he went down the rabbit hole and looked into it. Now, if you want tips on how to save money on your personal mirrors, that’s a great idea. I have found that careful browsing of thrift stores, pawn shops, government auctions and charity retail outlets (Habit For Humanity, Salvation Army, etc.) is a good place to get cheap (if older) LCDs.

I used 3M vinyl wrap for the black of mine, no glue just apply no air gap easy to work with and for giving if you make a mistake, UV treated as well, your going to need three people to lift that beast! I would put the monitor on the back of the frame 🖼 this way it limits the monitor reflecting on its self and dust getting between the monitor and glass, I went for mirror view 50/50 too. I did have plans to recess mine but it would have been in a purpose made area, but settled on the stairs landing and that is all block work but makes the sunlight bounce all the way down the stairs, so it’s doing more than I could have hoped as well as a feature.

Hi Frits, Curious to know what option you went for if any as I am in the same position and by co-incidence bought the same touchscreen monitor. Did you try the one-way mirror vinyl or are you looking at overlay frame? Regards Paul

markdown chars (3 backticks) have to be on their own line. else things get messy

@robrtoprz realy the only documented way to communicate between modules is to send notification messages sendNotification(“some_identifier_string”, infomation_data_specific_to_this_identifier) so, what message happens when voice says ‘Selfie’??? u send that same message What code is listening for ‘Selfie’?? is it a MagicMirror module (like MMM-Hotword)? Or a python script?

@drx1984 [image: 1558592103870-pm2.png] Hmmm… For me it works. Check ~/Library/LaunchAgents/directory whether exists or not. You can save your xml (under Template) totarget path by manual then execute command list

Usually manual installation works without problem on mac. I mainly use my MBP as dev-machine for all modules(except some GPIO specific modules)
