MagicMirror project for sister

@blaukon hey so are you saying your mirror glass is bigger than your monitor?

I have the issue if the mirror glass is bigger than the monitor then the edge which is not covered by the monitor it needs to be painted black or covered with a black material. This causes reflection issues on the mirror from the front I.e. you can see distorted images on the edge I.e. the image looks stretched…

hey, as far as I can remember, the glass is slightly bigger than the monitor and the frame is also slightly bigger than the glass, no tape was used, since you only see the monitor in the frame and not the “frame” of the 27" monitor.

tried to show it graphically with my old expanded notebookdisplay:
alt text

@blaukon I saw your pictures, and I see the text is easy to see in daylight, but in the video, it’s kinda hard to see in low light. But how is it with your own eyes in brought daylight and with low light/night?

Where did you pruchase your mirror? Directly form Pilkington? And how much did it cost you?
Thanks in advance.

@bachoo786
I had no trouble reading the texts neither at night or day - you can easily adjust the brightness via MMM-Remote: alt text

@phmandl bought at glas-star.de “Pilkington Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm (Spy4) 0.3” : 82,00 € + 70,00€ shipping (:/)

Nice work,can you share how to change the icon of MK2 instead of Google icon???

blaukon

@hayman thanks! Please keep in mind that I’m not using the newest version of AssistantMK2. I’ve changed the following lines in his code (commented as “NEW”), this way, it will only me shown, if MMM-Hotword detected the hotword:

  prepareDom() {
    ....
    this.subdom.youtube = ytOutput
    this.subdom.wrapper = wrapper

    wrapper.style.display = "none"			//NEW
    return wrapper
  }

  activate(profile, textQuery=null, sender=null, id=null, sayMode=false) {
       ....
      if (this.config.onActivate) {
	this.subdom.wrapper.style.display = "block"	                   // NEW
        setTimeout(()=>{
          this.doCommand(this.config.onActivate, "onActivate", "onActivate")
        }, this.config.onActivate.timer)
      }
      ....
  }

  deactivate(cb=()=>{}) {
    this.changeStatus("STANDBY")
    this.subdom.wrapper.style.display = "none"			// NEW
    this.sendNotification(this.config.notifications.ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED)
    this.quietRequest = false
    cb()
  }
