Showcase: MagicMirror with Custom LEGO Frame
-
Hi MagicMirror team,
I wanted to share with the community my MagicMirror project featuring a completely custom-built LEGO frame!Hardware Setup:
Display: Vertical monitor
Computer: Initially Beelink (mini PC), now migrating to Dell OptiPlex D10U
System: Ubuntu (Server → Desktop)
PIR sensor for automatic screen on/off control via MQTTImplemented Modules:
Clock & Calendar (with Italian custom calendar)
Weather (Italian weather with hourly and daily forecasts)
Compliments (motivational messages)
News Feed (Italian news)
Automatic screen control via PIR sensor and Node.jsUnique Feature:
The LEGO frame is completely customizable and modular. It includes:LEGO minifigures on top
Colorful decorations on the sides with bricks from various collections
Decorative elements (stars, clouds, stickers)
Design that perfectly integrates into the home environmentTechnical Challenges Solved:
MQTT integration for PIR control
Italian weather modules configuration
Optimization for vertical display
Power management and automatic screen shutdownThe project became not only functional but also a decorative element appreciated by the whole family. The LEGO frame makes the MagicMirror less “techy” and more accessible, especially for children.
Thanks for this amazing open source project!Michele!!
