@anhanyoung here are a list of videos for my 32" … I have also built a true mirror for the bathroom and have tinkered with a 10" touch one as well… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtC-mqSNYsNCWefpSOviIQg?view_as=subscriber You can do a mirror anyway that works for you… use your imagination and build something :)

Go out on the internet and there are TONS of instructions on how to sign up with the service. :)

@scotsfrog Ohhhh, haha.

@seedhe you need to do a pm2 install script I’ll see if I can find it, seee link https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/complete-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror-tutorial/

FWIW, I did manage to do this. I added a line 155 to the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js: image.src = encodeURI(this.imageList[this.imageIndex]); this.sendNotification("IMAGEFILEPATH", image.src); //my stuff Then I created a small module that displayed the notification. Module.register("MMM-ShowMessage", { defaults: {}, getDom: function() { var element = document.createElement("div"); element.className = this.config.size; element.id = "IMGPATHFILE"; return element; }, notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) { switch(notification) { case "IMAGEFILEPATH": var elem = document.getElementById("IMGPATHFILE") var subpayload = payload.substring(53) elem.innerHTML = subpayload break } }, }); In my config.js I just added: { module: "MMM-ShowMessage", position: "bottom_left", config: { size: "small" } }, Now each time the image changes a notification is sent and picked up by the show message module which displays it on screen. I trim the path because the beginning was consistent among all the pictures.

Node js is one of the powerful tools of programming and using this if you are working on python it help you a lot. printer offline fix helped me to know more about python.

@seedhe - The module framework that @MichMich created is where the technique of hosting the mirror on a Pi really shines. While the Magic Mirror is more-or-less a customizable web page, the ability for the modules to call background processes adds a level of utility. For example, I can put a static web page up on an Amazon cloud IP and just hit that from my mirror. It will display static data and maybe some things from various APIs, if I code it cleverly enough. But that’s about it. With the OS working behind the scenes, I can display anything behind my firewall (IP cameras, weather stations, temperature sensors, PIR sensors, etc.). I can also plug in a camera and/or microphone and use the data from those devices in my modules. It also allows you to scale up if you need to. A Raspi is pretty slick for its size and cost. But if you put something like a NUC behind it, you can use that processing power for some really cool features. Voice recognition, facial recognition, complex animations, etc.

Alright. Thank you! Found these really helpful.

@mitchawl - My understanding is that the plug in the Alexa devices is output only. But I haven’t actually investigated. I could be wrong. Good luck!

@israel05 Hola, veo que este post es de hace 2 años, agradecería tu respuesta cuando te sea posible. El espejo de 2 vías que comentas de Cristalería Armentia es de cristal? Gracias! Hello, I see that this post is from 2 years ago, I would appreciate your response when possible. The 2-way mirror that you comment on Cristalería Armentia is made of glass? Thank you!

Sounds like you are having internet access issues

@novajones001 - You’re going to have to provide a lot more detail. It that IP address the IP address of your mirror? Are you trying to view the content or configure the mirror? If you’re trying to view the content, then open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.4:8080 in the address bar. If you’re trying to configure your mirror, then you need to SSH into that IP address with an SSH client. If you’re using Ubuntu, Debian or other flavor of Unix, you can just type ssh pi@172.168.1.4 at the command prompt. It will ask you for a password, which by default is raspberry. If you’re using Windows 10, you have to open PowerShell and then type that command. (Did everyone know that PowerShell has SSH capability? I did not.) You’ll still have to enter the password. Let us know how it goes.

we see a LOT of new users having trouble with unintended syntax errors in config.js. they don’t know, and MM is running happily without their changes… so, I want to propose adding the call to tests/configs/check_config.js as part of the error handling… this was easy, except… MM keeps running with the default config… which it shouldn’t… I’ve tried all kind of things… process.exit(0); is quick death… except the output of the tests/configs/check_config.js isn’t flushed, so the messages don’t show up… they took out process.stdout.flush() a long time ago… none of the workarounds appear to work… anyone got any ideas? thanks…

Modified my MMM-EasyBack module for MagicMirror. Now you can choose between a static image background and an mp4 file. This is just an example but it is kinda funny, or stupid, depending on your sense of humor, or lack thereof. :-) Learned a few things during the upgrade. The #id selector for css is fantastic, proving you can teach an old dog new tricks. I made it work, surprisingly. @cowboysdude made it better. :thumbsup: https://youtu.be/p0R32wb5TUc

I was wondering if it could be controlled by the raspberry pi itself, when you set up the MagicMirror2, you run through the audio settings for the mic and sound out put… Is there any way to control volume from here??

Awesome thank you. Ive been searching for about 2 weeks. :thinking_face: I will give it a try.
