<![CDATA[The RaspiMirror was born!]]>After a lot of SW / HW and mechanical study (including design … ;-) ) RaspiMirror was born!

It is positioned in the living room and provides us with general information on 3 pages moved by a gesture sensor.
The frame has a “Flintstone” style and we are planning more updates in the future.
It is able to detect presence with a PIR sensor and turn off the monitor when we are not in the living room.
Behind the frame there are LEDs that for now I control with Google Nest Audio which is connected to the RPI through bluetooth for audio.
The frame has been designed to allow you not to disassemble the monitor and extract the RPI in case of breakdowns or maintenance, as if it were a card.
The project is always evolving, especially the sensors part is not yet in the right place…but I’m working on it!
I used a 4gb RPI 4 with Raspbian Buster.

The modules I have installed (for now … ;-) ) are the following:

MMM-GroveGestures
MMM-MyGarbage
MMM-pages
MMM-Spotify
MMM-AQI
MMM-iFrameReload
MMM-MyStandings
MMM-RTSPStream
mmm-suncalc
MMM-DarkSkyForecast
MMM-ISS
MMM-NewsFeed
MMM-Screencast
MMM-SystemStats
MMM-Globe
MMM-Lunartic
MMM-page-greeting
MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification
MMM-WeatherGraph
MMM-GPIO-Notifications
MMM-Multimonth
MMM-page-indicator
MMM-soccer
planetrise

Here are some photos:

How I composed the pages (General Info, Sport and the last Astronomy):

Page-1 Page-2 Page-3

If this has been possible, it is also thanks to @sdetweil @MMRIZE @wishmaster270 and many other users for the competence and patience!

You got RTSPStream to work!!! NICE! I need to try harder then as this is something i’ve wanted on my MM for a long time. I just read there were issues and it wasn’t supported any longer so i didn’t really try.

In fact you say well, RTSPStream does not work and when it starts it works badly.
For this reason, externally to the MM, I launch an OMXPLAYER command with coordinates that places the video down to the right.
I have not found any other solution …

IMPORTANT: on Buster OMXPLAYER is still present, in Bullseye it has been removed in favor of VLC which unfortunately I had difficulty configuring …

Very nice job, I really like the look. Its hard to see from the photos how have you secured the monitor into the frame?

Hi @mayfield, I’m happy you liked it!
The frame was built to fit into the monitor very precisely. In practice it is self-supporting.
This allows me to remove the frame for maintenance (clearly since the frame is stuck I have to force myself for pull it out …).

If you need more information I am available.
