Eh I got out my cave man and just about beat it to death… LOL

No I think I bent it while trying to get the bezel off…

cowboysdude

OK back in business… got a better tv… all apart … touch screen working quite well :)

@cowboysdude mind sharing hardware details on the monitor, mirror, and touchscreen? I finally got my MM plain monitor version but thinking I’d like a touchscreen mirror or just a touchscreen monitor type.

FYI current plans are to build the first MMM-Pool module to link to my Pentair IntelliTouch via Autelis interface. Will keep everyone posted on progress.

@cohron Currently :100:

(Sorry for all the caps, I’m copying it off a website)

32" Vizio TV [Not too expensive and looks really good]
ASUS H110T/CSM LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Thin Mini-ITX Motherboards
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662G4400
SILVERSTONE NT07-115X Super Slim Profile CPU Cooler
Laptop Power supply.

USB Microphone
32" IR Touch frame from AliExpress

It’s going to also be running @strawberry-3-141 voice control module.

I’m not using raspberry pi here because it just doesn’t have the power I need.

I’m not using a mirror because it’s not a mirror… it’s a ‘command center’ for my house… that is the goal. I also ordered this - > https://hestiapi.com/

In the future I’ll be adding things like lights, door locks, and zone controls via voice.

It’s going to take a bit of time to fully realize my vision but there are a couple others doing or wanting to do the same thing here.

That’s about it for now… :) Still in the planning stages.

Very cool. I guess I’m building a command center myself, just didnt know what its called without the mirror. lol. I love my alexa integration but I had no way to see the status of all the devices (nests, sonos, soon pool) plus weather and calendar in one place.

Just fyi, I really like Intel’s new compute stick, default runs windows 10 i think but may run linux for its small form factor. Cheap too.

thanks for the info.

cowboysdude

Yes a mirror that’s not a mirror :)

I’m glad you are attempting it as well… when I get some pictures I’ll post them!

Tried to pry in the wrong place…

cowboysdude

Let the testing on the 32 ‘command center’ mirror begin ;)

IR Touch frame works VERY well… responsive…was only supposed to be 1 point but it’s working with 5…

Going to try some ‘touch’ modules… keep you posted.

cowboysdude

Some things I’ve been working on ;)

I try to do modules that do NOT require API keys… The majority of modules I’ve made do NOT require them… MUCH easier…less signing up to do… less headaches…

That’s downright classy. The diversity of your modules is outstanding. I especially like the weather at the bottom and the way it is formatted.

Obviously, you’re a freakin guru!

Progress…waiting on Thermostat and other sensors to arrive :)
