    Or is Android a showstopper in this case?

      Interesting thought, haven’t even thoguht of that.
      Afaik THIS magicmirror is not that easy to install natively on Android.

      Have you seen this page?
      https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/android-app-magic-mirror/
      Sums it up quite well, and an interesting read.
      Adafruit have also done an Android mirror:

      Maybe worth trying out another system or app…

          i found that native Apps aswell, thanks for that.
          But i don’t want to use just a app. Thats to easy ;)

          Doing some more research and waiting for a good idea in my sleep.

          Any other suggestions how it could work, are welcome.

            @barnosch As I’ve heard, termux could run linux-based application without rooting. I didn’t try it, so I don’t know MagicMirror would run on it.

              @Mykle1 I still don’t understand. How do you install the mirror on an Android tablet? Using a Linux VM? Or using Android directly?

                    That looks very interesting. Thanks a lot for the hint.

                      I don’t have the slightest idea. @barnosch asked if it was possible on an Android device. All I did was point out that someone had done that and provided the link. I’ve never owned an Android device.

                      Go to that link and ask the author of the post how he did it. :^)
