I’ve taken apart a couple different monitors (and was able to get them back together with minimal extra screws). The bezels usually take a little prying to start, but once you get a section open, the rest come out easy. I used a putty knife to get things going, then just pulled the rest of it apart. Make sure you remove all the screws you see in the back. If the bezel gives you resistance at a certain point, look to see if you missed a screw under a sitcker or something before pulling harder. Once the bezel is removed, there is usually a couple circuit boards with some ribbon connectors. If you want to make life easier, take a picture of how they’re all connected. My asus monitor had a couple of the same connectors, so I had to remember which board was plugged into which connector.

“just to let you know, there is a camera behind the mirror. But it will always indicate when it is on. If that’s a problem, you’re welcome to leave” ;)

Just use the css/custom.css to change any font sizes an layout options. And Use media Queries to change it according to the resolution of your screen. This does not require any modification to the core of MagicMirror² and allows you to update in the future.

@strawberry-3.141 That’s what I was looking for!!! Thank you!

@MichMich Perfect! I also didn’t realize you can turn off Auto-lock via Settings these days. Thanks so much for creating this project. I get my mirror tomorrow so that’s when the real fun begins :).

Not at the moment. But you can write a module for that.

@EoF, you can, as an external process, just like everything else. :)

MM² does not need a web server, it’s built in. You need to run it as a 'serveronly' setup though. This is what I did on my unix servers (I have one at the office, and one at home, plus two rpis, all running MM²): Except for the very first step, all commands should be executed as an unprivileged user. First command needs to be performed as root, or equivalent system user. Make sure node.js it up to date with at least version 6.0.0 Clone the Github repository (find instructions on manual install here https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/#manual-installation cd into the MagicMirror folder and run 'npm install' Check/Edit the config/config.js file to match your configuration, specifically the port run node serveronly open web browser (anywhere on the network) and visit http://: (for example http://my.cool.server:8080) Done. As I said, MM² does not require a web server for it to work, it’s built into node.

Thank you very much for your kind words. You suggestions are very interesting, however, it would hugely depend on what speech/voice recognition engine I end up going for. I dislike the idea of have chrome keys and so I am leaning towards pocketsphinx, which can indeed be coded to allow you to access your RPi. Depending on how it goes, I will update you frequently! :)

Not compatible as far as I know. MM² structure is completely different.

it’s already done https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/409/mmm-ip

@KirAsh4 Hmmmm good point. I’ve been preoccupied with the software side never thought to check if the touch monitor actually works with the Pi. It’s branded a dell monitor. Will give it a go in the next hour or so

@paviro Yes yes. Exactly. I’ve actually stopped updating. So am a few versions behind. I got sick of updating. Then trying to fix all the modules that broke during update. There’s also a heap that aren’t documented and are hard to find. Some need to be installed manually instead of thru the admin panel or they don’t work. Some that are supposed to show in plugins list never appear. Have same issue as you. If my forum was large enough I would pay for their hosting service and let them deal with it. Luckily some good people on their forum that help out with questions.

Why do you have to use Google or Apple? Just find a tool that can export ics files and you are fine :)

Hi there, Are there any MagicMirror builders located in Berlin who are interested to meet some day? Cheers, Paul

@MichMich but that is also extra work but it is an option.

Check out these mirrors to see how things will look… https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/316/my-full-lengh-magic-mirror-completed/2 https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/117/bangee-s-mirror

What better way to do testing with a touch sensor than to use alerts? Except, this touch sensor got a bit testy with me. :) (video capturing on the rpi isn’t particularly good, but you get the idea) Touchy Sensor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceA4cTn0lkA

@MichMich :(
