Mirror No°1 - Girlfriends birthday present

These days I´m trying to solve the “HDMI-signal lost” problem of my monitor.
Each time, the RasPi disables his HDMI output after 60 seconds of no motion detection, the monitor shows up a big blue screen with “HDMI Signal lost” on it. Maybe it’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the monitor. Nethertheless it’s still a big bug of my MagicMirror.
What I’m looking for is a workaround to dim the brightness of the monitor or rather of the HDMI output.

You could try to find out if your monitor supports CEC commands and use libcec to force your monitor going to standby instead. Downside is, that the screen takes longer to turn back on.

This is a fantastic looking mirror! Nice job!
What housing is that for the PIR sensor? I’m looking for options to mount mine cleanly but I’m not having much luck.
-
@Atheose Ahh… I can help you with that! it’s a homebuildt housing made from the backcover of a timelock device… obviously ;)
-
@MrH Ahh darn! I was hoping for a ridiculously-convenient box I could buy on Amazon.
So you cut the hole in the plastic yourself?
-
@Atheose I would guess that he did yes :)
-
@Atheose I asked about the housing just 4 posts above you ;) but yeah… its hard to find a perfect box made for the sensor.
-
@MrH Ahhhhh I somehow missed that. Thanks!
Either way, great mirror @prototype0815!
-
@Atheose Oh sorry, I missed some posts too xD
I made the hole with a special driller for wood (I don’t know the english word, in german it’s called “Forstnerbohrer”)
