  I didn’t use the image but used my own installation. Therefore In can’t tell for sure. However,where ist the wpa_supplicant.conf you are referring to located? Did you use/create one directly on /boot? This should automatically be copied to the “normal” location and then automatically get deleted.

  My wpa_suplicant.conf file looked like

  ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="NAMEOFNETWORK" psk="WPA2KEY" }

  (of course you have put your network name and key in, but keep the quotation marks).
  Which editor did you use (not that there is a problem with the line end or something similar)?

  Once it worked, I replaced the clear text psk by a passphrase by using wpa_passphrase.

  @mochman sorry for the slow reply. I’ve been on holiday.

  Wanted to let you know that your suggestion fixed my problem. I added your suggested IPs and now I can both access through SSH and through a mobile device/browser.

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hi again…
  My mirror seems to be a bit sluggish… (I installed a third party stock ticker)
  Apart from decreasing animation time is there any way to improve this??

  @AnyKey try to change the port which is used by Magicmirror. The Diskstation seems to use port 8080 for something else.

  @rootsudo said in MagicMirror on Pi Zero W:

  The Beginnings:

  Place wpa_supplicant.conf in Boot folder of SD card Boot SD card and login Enable SSH: sudo raspi-config -> Select Interfacing Options -> select SSH -> select Enable -> select Finish

  After step 4 i recommend creating an empty file called “ssh” and also put it in the Boot folder of the SD card.
  So you don’t have to do step 6, cause ssh is started on boot with the default credentials (user: pi, password: raspberry)

  After boot, it did not open the browser, instead it just showed the console window.
  Problem was solved by installing x-server with sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg

  Ah my bad, poorly formulated on my end here.

  I am able to take snapshots, and i have gotten the camera to work just fine itself. It is the motion part i am struggling with.

  But i will have to test some more.

  @ibuildmirror I think its a lot easier to do serveronly mode and use safari then you dont need any other dependencies

  @yours.mukul I don’t have enough knowledge about packages to help you with dependency conflicts. Best I can advise you to do is open a new topic about it with detailed info about it.

  About not being able to go into gui mode: you are sure you installed the deskopt version?

  Synchronizing private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror - a Workaround

  @Advokaten
  The data will be transferred, since vdirsyncer synchronizes the whole calendar data (including description, location, time, title,…). So all the calendar data you enter in your iCloud account will be synchronized to your mirror.

  What you are asking depends heavily on the calendar module you are using on your mirror. I don’t think, that the default module supports this. So I think one needs to change stuff in the calendar module for this to work.

  So I think what you’re asking is not really related to the syncing itself. If you’re already using the default calendar module, you already know how it looks. I didn’t change a single thing on that regarding optics. So the look is 100% similar to the default calendar module.

  Open explorer

  create a new folder called magicmirror
  download magicmirror and unpack it in that dir

  Open a CMD window and go to the magicmirror directory

  Go to Node js and get node and install it…

  Once you have that installed go back to your CMD window and type in
  "npm install"

  If everything is in correctly it should install the magicmirror software

  Once that’s installed type “npm start”… should start the mirror…

  I don’t think I missed anything but if I did someone please feel free to point it out!

  @aaronaxvig To run MagicMirror automatically on startup:

  Create a .bat file and put it in the startup folder (Windows Explorer > type “shell:startup” without quotes in the address bar). Set the contents of the bat file:

  cd your MagicMirror Git repository folder
  npm start
