Mirror No°1 - Girlfriends birthday present
-
Hey folks,
this is the first MagicMirror I built. In my opinion it´s quite well done, isn’t it? All of my friends was very amazed about this dressy mirror.
Unfortunately you can’t read the text as well, because the day I took the photo, was very bright inside the living room.(It was temporarily mounted on a wooden plate)

@prototype0815 Is the PIR sensor working with the module of @paviro or with a Python script?
-
@Wilco89 I bought a usually PIR sensor at Amazon for arduino. This one is working with a python script. What kind of module are you talking about?
-
-
Ah Ok, this “module” doesn’t do anything other than my PIR sensor. In addition, I can’t find any relays which is able to switch enough ampere for my 24" display.
Disabling the HDMI output of the RasPi3 is very easy. Give this a try…

My module does that too if you don’t have a relay :)
We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

@paviro i’m waiting for the jumper wires so i can connect and try the module.
@prototype0815 There are several options, and i was just wondering which one you were using.
-
@paviro what is the exact identity number of the relay you are using?
-
I am not a home right now so no idea, sorry :/ but it should not really matter :)
-
That casing you have for the PIR, made it yourself or how do I get one? :)
-
@MrH I’m sorry for the late reply. There’s a funny story behind xD I tried to switch off the whole mirror with a timeclock, but after I’ve seen that it needs only a negligible amount of power if the raspi turned off the HDMI, I used the backcover of the timeclock to build a case for the PIR sensor xD
-
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”)
