    I think it’s definitely an ambitious dream! At the present time, the virtual fitting rooms are professional products sold to corporate clients. I’m not aware of anyone making a hobbyist version of the software to place images on top of reflections. I believe the closest thing we have around here to a commercial devices is one guy made a photo booth and he did a lot of the coding himself. Don’t get discouraged! It’s not an impossible dream. Just understand that there are challenges. Around here, we can definitely help you with construction tips, parts sourcing and test & tuning. And you might find a genius looking for a challenge.

    @strawberry-3.141 said in 7" touchscreen as a alarm clock?: @wizz you could try body { transform: scale(0.5); } which should make everything half the original size Thank´s will try that and see how it looks.

    IIRC, @michmich looked into offering this as a commercial product and he ran into patent and licensing problems. The laws of your country may vary, but the short version is you can’t offer a magic mirror as a commercial product without involving lawyers and giving the patent holders some sort of payment. You may be able to make one for your friends as a favor, with them picking up the expense of the materials. But you won’t be able to turn this into a business without careful and professional legal advice.
  • Control Mirror over IFTTT? (Google Home or Alexa)

    I know that it does not control the mirror. That’s why I said “evaluate and act” Use the IFTTT module, change it so it sends broadcast messages and make sure the modules of your interest react on these broadcast messages. The same with Alexa. You have to make sure Alexa has skills to interact with other modules on your magic mirror.

    @yours.mukul Heh. All right, short version: Magic Mirror is a modularized application that is written using NodeJS, the Electron application framework and a mix of Javascript and Python programming languages. It does not use a database for state information. Instead, the Magic Mirror application uses a configuration file that determines how the application loads and run a series of modules. The Electron application framework is responsible for coordinating between the back-end NodeJS processes and the front-end Javascript processes. The electron application is also responsible for rendering the interface onto the screen via a built-in web browser (Chromium). When a module starts up (as directed by the main application), that module returns a chunk of HTML code that the application will then render and place upon the interface. If the module needs information from another source (RSS feed, weather information, sports scores, whatever), the application framework has hooks that allow a node process to retrieve/generate that information and then present it to front-end module code. Any state information is stored in memory and is regularly replaced by the back end process. I hope that clarifies things.

    @cowboysdude said in many request to github: updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, Then again yes you will have to check ALL your modules and see what their update timers are set to.

    @astrakid Good luck getting the foil to stick and hold on the perspex. I tested this about 2 months ago. It started to bubble within a few hours. Either use glass with the foil or try to find perspex that already has the foil or equivalent already applied.

    I’ve been looking for a simple way to build a dashboard for the home automation system I wrote, even if worst case it’s just a good example of node.js programming to start from. I previously looked at NODE-RED, but found that it had some limitations that rule it out. One big requirement for me is to be able to display images - for example if a motion detector outside trips I get a MQTT notification on a topic and I’d like to be able to display a picture on the mirror taken from the camera in that area. The image could be the entire background of the display, or it could be in a window. Is anyone aware of any examples where someone has used MM in a home monitoring type situation? I would assume this sort of thing has been done before.

    http://screen-size.info 1328mm in width and 747mm in height assuming 16:9. But do note that 60" usually is just the the active screen without the borders. Didn’t the seller define the dimensions of the IR-frame?

    @Sean Yes, I had the same problem. I found the simple music player module by following EOF’s mirror thread. And I knew there was at least one navigation module, so I searched for “navigation” instead.

    @Sean Found a picture on their facebook that I think reveals what they’re doing: [image: 1510257017337-mui2.jpg] another shot in action [image: 1510257040535-mui.jpg] so I think less… fabric and more diode holes? But then that leaves me wondering… how is the touch part working? Apparently this company has a lot of experience with touch sensors and did some work on the Nintendo Switch.
