Snilles Magic Mirror Project

Hi @korevaartje, If I remember correctly you need to use a URL to the picture. You cant use a “local” path. I’m currently loading all the pictures from an “internal” web server (that I use for lot’s of other stuff as well). And that made it easy to switch the pictures without having to change anything on the actual MM.

I hope that clarify’s it. :)

@korevaartje ,
Personally I put my pictures on the css directory, and here is how I load them:

				"Cedric": {
					img: "/css/cedric.jpg",
					width: 60,
					height: 60
				},

And every day I do a rsync save of the css directory, and the conf directory as well to my NAS server.

The Mirror is used daily and I have upgraded from a RPi 3 to a NUC instead to get more CPU-Power to play with. :)

Updated almost all information about this project. My Mirror has been the “information HUB” (together with HA) of the family for many years now!
Even the rest of the family(!) thinks it’s good!

If you want to know more, ask away! :)

Very cool, I think I will borrow some of your ideas! :)

@justbob Thank you! Great to hear, please do! Share your ideas when you are done. It’s always fun to see what others do. :)

I am running both Magic Mirror and Home Assistant. My dream is to have a “button” on the screen so I can toggle between the two aplications. Is this just a dream or could it be done somehow?
