Considerations to take for MM that won't be at my house?

One more thing… don’t buy a cheap SD card. Buy a high quality one that gets good reviews together with a RPi. Then you will at least minimize the risk of a corrupt card. Sandisk has worked good for me.

Take a look at having the remote mirror set up a reverse SSH tunnel — that way you can reach it without having to change network settings on her end. You can pick a nonstandard port to open/forward on your end, and it can just automatically reach you. Installing MMM-Remote as a home screen “app” on her phone gives her controls without too much complication.
There’s also this solution which looks very promising, but I haven’t had the chance to check it out yet.
Also: take a look at a Chromecast-style WiFi manager, like this one. I use this particular one but it’s the same concept. That way if there are any network changes or whatever, she’s not left stranded mirror-wise. Also, it’s just extremely handy.

Use a cheap SSD. Much more reliable. That’s what I am using for more than a year now.

@Sean Very nice! I hadn’t seen that before.

@retroflex Good call. I’ll add it to the help document I include that if it acts up in any way, it should be rebooted.

@Mykle1 It’s a work in progress. :)
