Boy, that escalated quickly!
@TGBB said in Amazon Fire 7/8/10 & Magic Mirror...:
I was giving people another option to make themselves a magic mirror.
Erm, no. Giving other people an alternative option would imply you already successfully tested this option. In fact you are looking for an easy way to build a smart mirror. Your approach is reasonable as not everyone is going for DIY solutions. In my initial reply I already pointed out to the project MaxBraun launched. This is running on a Amazon Fire TV Stick. So you should be able to run it on your Amazon Fire tablet as well.
Or - as I already mentioned before and others repeated that as well - you could run the MagicMirror backend on another device and launch a browser on your tablet which loads the website.
If you just want a smart mirror, then maybe look at https://glancr.de/ or https://www.dirror.com/ and buy one of the shelve!

Just to give my 2p. I run MM on a RPi in serveronly mode and then use a Fire Tablet as the display device inside of a small Ikea RIBBA frame. You do need to sideload some applications to get the best experience like a fullscreen browser and better brightness control, so it takes a little effort but it great for a first, cheap, Magic Mirror.
A single app would be easier, but MM2 has much more flexibility and customisation potential. I’m already working on a bigger Magic Mirror that will have sensors to detect when people are in front of it, integrate temperature sensing and many other things.
I’ve certainly learned a lot from just reading the forums and playing with modules, its worth it for the best experience :)
Hang in there!

I use the Amazon Fire tablet HD 10 and when I tried to connect with Magic Mirror, it was not working at all because I did not see anything different. I didn’t know if this had something to do with my tablet or it was because of Magic Mirror. So to test, I tried with different tablets of the iPad generations list(I borrowed them from others). Some of them worked while others didn’t.g. Any suggestion?
