My Magic "Mirror" Desk Display
-
Hey all! I wanted to share my finished Magic “Mirror” display project, which as you can see is not a mirror but a display sitting at my desk in my office. It changes to a different screen every 60 seconds, displaying different information based on the “theme” of that particular page. I can also tap the dots on the bottom middle of the screen to change to any page at any time. The first picture shows how it looks on the display (pardon the glare), the rest are screenshots from the RPI4 itself so you can see the content better. The back shows the RPI4 mounted, along with the case it is in. Details below. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

@BerkSmash1984 Really good setup! Thank you for inspiration on how to organize a bunch of modules in a good way!
-
@Ashaman Thank you! I was trying to figure out the best way to do organize them. I have some other modules configured too, but currently have them disabled for various reasons. For example, MMM-NFL is enabled only during American Football season. MMM-CivitAI was used on page 9 instead of MMM-PenPlotter, but that one appears to be having API issues, so I had to come up with a replacement.
I enjoy checking every week or so for new modules to add. Definitely a fun project and super helpful community!
-
@BerkSmash1984 I’m in the process of setting up mine, and seeing how you organized yours gave me lots of ideas! 👍
Mine takes time though, because so far I’ve only added custom modules I make myself. 😅
Need to start implementing more premade modules. 😂Is MMM-Pages working for you?
I tried to use it the first week I was new to MM and had problems, so I’m currently using MMM-Carousel. -
@Ashaman see my Pages fork readme for an easier way(IMHO) to define the pages (no code change)
-
@Ashaman … custom modules you made yourself? Elitist! 🤣🤣🤣
-
Hi @BerkSmash1984 and congratulations for the MM and for the organization of the pages!
I have a question for you: could you share the config for the “MMM-ISS-Map” module? I tried reading the developer’s instructions but I didn’t understand much…
Thanks!

@BKeyport Why? I needed to display data from my own datasets and API not supported in existing modules, kinda had to make them myself then? I do it to learn more coding.
-
@Ashaman I was just teasing. In fact, every module I built myself is for that exact reason…
-
That’s really cool, you’ve inspired me to do something similar in my office as there’s things only I care about (my wife would kill me if she saw my Strava info 🤣).
