      Hello everyone, I am starting a school project which will be vaguely based off the magic mirror framework but instead would be an alarm clock/home hub

      My plan is to use a small 10" OLED display paired with a motion sensor that would switch between just showing a clock to a full magic mirror ui depending on motion and the time of day, eg at night it will always show the time in large font but if it detects movement it will switch to the dashboard with all the modules and during the day it will permanently stick with the dashboard. I am also planning on implementing smart home control. I plan to update this thread with my progress as I go.

      Any criticisms or suggestions will be helpful.

        Also, would anyone know of a material that has the same effect as the one way glass in letting only the white out, but non reflective? This would enable the use of a lcd rather than a much more expensive OLED panel

            @cowboysdude oh thanks, I did try looking but all there was were people talking about the clock module.

              @Albinolan So use a pi with 10" touchscreen and motion sensor on it…

              Plenty of that around here… the motion sensors are really cheap… I have several… I buy them 5 at a time

                I’ve had mine running for almost a year now… works REALLY well…

                You can make it look anyway you want :) That’s the beauty of CSS

                Let me know if I can help in anyway!

                  @cowboysdude May I ask, what did you use for the frame around the display? I am thinking of either 3d printing or painting/wrapping wood

                    @Albinolan My printer wouldn’t print that big so I bought a wooden one like this…

                    http://www.eleduino.com/Raspberry-Pi-Official-7-Touchscreen-Display-Case-100%25-Bamboo-Made-p10581.html - but the 10" version.

                    You can build the frame out of anything you can think of … 3d printing would have been my choice :) ABS

                      If I decide to rebuild it I would do my own frame because I’d like to get the speaker as part of the frame… currently it just sits behind it… and I use the alarm module @strawberry built…it works REALLY well :)

                        What you could do is just use the Carousel module to switch screens or use MMM-Scheduler to get what you want or a combination of both :)

                        I use scheduler because depending on what time of day I have different things displayed and at night it turns completely off so it doesn’t keep me awake.
