Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?
-
Hi, I bought my Rasberry Pi 3 B+ last Week at Kiwi Electronics Netherland (www.kiwi-electronics.com), it cost me including shipping about 57,-- Euro.
Maybe this Info can help you.

@N6NG How about running it on a Arduino? If they can be found…
-
Sorry :-(
-
@N6NG no, not Arduino…
-
@sdetweil That would be something, wouldn’t it?
Getting enough backend running on any Arduino based unit (like a Wemos-d1 clone, so it has networking) to run Magic Mirror. Talk about an embedded project!

@BKeyport No wonder you can still by those at a reasonable price… I guess it’s bite the bullet and pay full price for a Pi4 is the only answer…

@N6NG think iOS vs AndroidOS.
Pi (iOS side) does all their own production, and nobody else copies it for their own products. The hardware is locked down somewhat.
Arduino (AndroidOS side) which is covered on a literal poo-ton of products, so you can get Arduino built into anything - causing a constant glut of hardware and pretty much continuous production.

I kept an eye on RPiLocator when I was getting my home assistant setup going. It took a couple of weeks for one to come into stock (UK) but I got one in the end.

Try a OrangePi or BannaPi . There may be a long lead time but they basically are Raspberry pi clones.
