Frameless Bathroom Mirror - Part 1: Software and Preparations

[Fozi]

That‘s a really cool sneak preview. I like the maps integration with iFrame and will give it a try on my mirror. Looking forward to seeing the finished build.

Is that Postmodern Jukebox in the video?

[Meidlmarkus]

@bhepler yes exactly :-)
It is “Life on Mars” - a terrific rendition, I find.

@samson_82 did it work? Hat’s geklappt?

[samson_82]

Ja hats. Danke

@Meidlmarkus said in Glass on the way, but still eager to share my first try:

I’m a bit proud of the next module to be honest.

And you have every reason to be! That’s great. I can’t even get any map displayed on the mirror.

To have it appear in a matching style I used filter:greyscale 100% plus invert 100% within the js of the module. This way I managed a quite decent google display without the need of an API key.

Would you mind sharing the module’s code from your config file, as well as the modified MMM-iFrameReload.js ?

Absolutely no problem, glad if I can help :-)

Here is the MMM-iFrameReload configuration in config/config.js:

{
			module: 'MMM-iFrameReload',
			position: 'top_right',	// This can be any of the regions.
			config: {
				url: "https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d42533.999773346404!2d16.411988327113605!3d48.2186535328082!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x476d015a39ef4d09%3A0x9517276e2c623b28!2sGunertweg%204%2C%201220%20Wien%2C%20%C3%96sterreich!3m2!1d48.249941799999995!2d16.4780513!4m5!1s0x476d00ab0878e79f%3A0x27ed9084b744849a!2sErdbergstra%C3%9Fe%20236%2C%20Wien!3m2!1d48.1851841!2d16.4259021!5e0!3m2!1sde!2sat!4v1581209652324!5m2!1sde!2sat",	
				width: "100%", // Optional. Default: 400px
				height: "400px", // Optional. Default: 800px
				refreshInterval: 900  //Optional. Default: 3600 = 1 hour
			}
		},

So this shows the way from my home to my office. To show a route of your own liking, process as follows:

1. go to https://www.google.at/maps/
2. search your destination in the left-hand google maps search box
3. switch to navigation, enter your origin and let google calculate the route
4. this is the important part: get the iFrame url: click the menu button on the left, select ‘share or embed map’ and select embed map.
5. copy the iframe src into your clipboard, use the whole part between the double quotes including the https
6. paste it in the url: part of your MMM-iFrameReload config.js

Now you should see a colorful map after saving and restarting mm.
If you want to have the dark-grey appearance, go into the MMM-iFrameReload.js in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iFrameReload/
Find the line iframe.style = “border:0” and replace it with

iframe.style = "border:0;filter: grayscale(95%) invert(100%);"

Hope this helps, pls let me know if it worked!
Cheers
Markus

Hey @Meidlmarkus, thanks for the quick and kind reply. Actually, I’ve deleted the whole installation so there is no working environment right now. I’m just downloading the Raspbian 13 Feb build. Will give it a try soon and get back to you with the results!

Hi!

Did you already received your Spy Glass? If yes, how satisfied are you with the glass? I am thinking about to order this kind of spy glass from glass-star.de too.

Hast du deinen Spion Spiegel bereits bekommen? Falls ja, wie zufrieden bist du damit? Ich bin auch gerade am Smart Mirror planen und überlege mir ebenfalls so einen Spionspiegel von glass-star.de zu bestellen.

Grüße aus Wien!
