      Hi all,

      Normally I don’t post a lot on forums…but I was so impressed by the Magic Mirror and thought I would share my (almost) final result so it can help others create their Magic Mirror.

      I was looking for something completely different (how can I turn on the screen of my wall mounted Windows Tablets via Motion Detection) when I found the Magic Mirror and thought “WTF is this?! This is really cool! I need to get one now! Oh crap, it’s 2am…well let’s find out what I need and get everything tomorrow and build it!”.

      This mirror is actually “version 2”, “version 1” was mounted in an Ikea poster frame and was not deep enough to mount everything in it, but I wanted to get some experience and still put the foil on it etc., the only thing was that 30min after hanging it on the wall, “version 1” came off the wall completely…fortunately the 23" screen was still fine, and because I was 100% sure I wanted to have this, I sat down and created a better one, one that actually stays on the wall! :)

      Version 2 was actually really easy to built:

      • 1 hour to finalize the whole idea
      • 2 hours to get all the parts
      • Next Day Delivery for the Mirror
      • 2-3 hours to built everything
      • 2 weeks to setup the actual Magic Mirror layout! :)
      • 2 hours to create this topic :)

      What parts did I need:

      • Plexiglass Two-Way Mirror 1000x700x3mm (€120,-)
      • Black vinyl for the back of the mirror (€15,-)
      • Wood for the (90cmx58cm) frame; 2 pecies 2100x40x44mm (€8,-)
      • 4 Caps for on top of the screws (€7,-)
      • Some scews, tie-wraps, tape, cables, a power switch, 2 power sockets, etc. (€10,-)
      • Raspberry Pi 3 + Micro SD + Charger (€50,-)
      • Speakers (€12,-)
      • 23" LG Screen
      • Mouse and keyboard
      • Some extra wires to get actually “+” and “-” and not only “+” behind the light socket!

      The only real issues I had setting everything up (which I’ve read, others also experienced this), were:

      • Lack of screenshots for some modules (a little bit of Googling sometimes helps find some)
      • Lack in documentation for some modules (but nothing that couldn’t be solved without some forum topics)
      • Some installed modules will run after I restarted the mirror, others really needed a reboot of the RPi (it took me some time to figure this out :) )
      • CSS of one module, could screw up the CSS of other modules (i.e. MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall messed up the CSS of the modules I have in the bottom_right)

      So…what modules do I use (on the latest Raspbian Jessie):

      calendar_monthly
      MagicMirror-QuoteCatalog
      MMM-Carousel
      MMM-cryptocurrency
      MMM-domoticz
      MMM-Globe
      MMM-Hue
      MMM-KeyBindings
      MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall
      MMM-MovieListings
      MMM-MyCommute
      MMM-NetworkScanner
      MMM-ping
      MMM-rainfc
      MMM-Scrobbler
      MMM-soccer
      MMM-syslog
      MMM-WunderGround
      worldclock
      

      I have setup the MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall Skill which works fine, but I am also running Domoticz to control and monitor basically everything in my house and I am using HA Bridge so Alexa can talk to Domoticz to execute scripts etc. So, I have created a little script so I can also say things like “Alexa, turn on main/other mirror” or “Alexa, turn on/off camera 1/2” (Alexa talks to HA Bridge, HA Bridge talks to Domoticz, Domoticz executes the script (in this case it SSH into the Mirror and execute the script below)):

      #!/bin/sh
      
      if [ $1 = "on1" ]
      then
      DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser --kiosk 'http://192.168.1.30:8081' &
      elif [ $1 = "on2" ]
      then
      DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser --kiosk 'http://192.168.1.31:8081' &
      elif [ $1 = "off" ]
      then
      DISPLAY=:0.0 xdotool key ALT+F4
      elif [ $1 = "rotate" ]
      then
      DISPLAY=:0.0 xdotool key Right
      elif [ $1 = "main" ]
      then
      DISPLAY=:0.0 xdotool key Home
      else
        echo "No option specified, Exiting..."
      fi
      exit
      

      And here is a script I created to reinstall everything quickly for testing purposes:

      #!/bin/sh
      
      cd ~
      bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"
      echo "Copying config files..."
      cp ~/Documents/config.js ~/MagicMirror/config/
      cp ~/Documents/custom.css ~/MagicMirror/css/
      cd ~
      echo "Installing Carousel and KeyBindings..."
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
      git clone https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel.git
      git clone https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-KeyBindings
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
      echo "Installing My Commute and Soccer..."
      git clone https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute.git
      cd MMM-MyCommute && npm install
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
      git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-soccer.git
      cd MMM-soccer && npm install
      echo "Installing WorldClock, Monthly Calendar and QuoteCatalog..."
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

      cd MagicMirror-QuoteCatalog && npm install
      echo "Installing Domoticz, Globe and Hue..."
      mkdir ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-domoticz

      git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-ping.git
      cd MMM-ping && npm install --productive
      sudo chmod u+s /bin/ping
      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
      git clone https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-NetworkScanner.git
      cd MMM-NetworkScanner && npm install
      echo "Installing Mirror Mirror On the Wall Skill..."
      cp -R ~/MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall/ ~/MagicMirror/modules/
      cd ~
      echo
      echo "Now Reboot and everything should be working..."
      echo
      exit
      

      I got my custom.css from here My First Magic Mirror, thanks @slametps .

      And I made some small changes in the following files to get all the CSS working perfectly fine together:

      • MagicMirror-QuoteCatalog.js (changed width and font size)
      • MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall.css (removed some CSS because it messed up MMM-soccer and MMM-MyCommute in the bottom_right)
      • MMM-syslog.js (removed the header completely)

      I will post some pictures off my Magic Mirror in the 2nd post and I will post my full config.js file (without private info) in the 3rd post, otherwise this post will really be too long!

      Okay, this is it! I think I now gave you guys enough info to build an exact replica :)

      @MichMich Wat een geweldig project, thanks!

          Here is my full config.js file (without private info):

          /*
           * The location of the module in which the module will be loaded. Possible values are top_ bar, top_left, top_center, top_right, upper_third, 
           * middle_center, lower_third, bottom_left, bottom_center, bottom_right, bottom_bar, fullscreen_above, and fullscreen_below. 
           * This field is optional but most modules require this field to set. Check the documentation of the module for more information.
           * Multiple modules with the same position will be ordered based on the order in the configuration file.

            I’m impressed. A nice and clean build, well written documentation, some nice pictures to look at and everything with markups and such. Very well done, this is how more Showrooms should look like :)

              Thanks! If you know how many hours I spent “extra” on my laptop because of not so well written documentation, no markups and such…I thought I would save everybody some time ;)

                Yes, I can imagine that.
                I guess the mirror glass is mounted directly on top of the frame, right? I cannot see any ventilation drills. Did/do you somehow monitor heat inside the frame?

                  @yawns You are correct. It’s mounted directly on top of the frame.

                  I didn’t notice heat is really a problem, except a little bit for the monitor board…although it now has way more room to let air out then when the back part of the monitor was still on it!
                  I was thinking about drilling some holes in the top of the frame to let the hot air out. There is also a small gap between the frame and the wall itself. On the RPi you can monitor temp as follows:

                  pi@mirror:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
                  temp=54.7'C
                  pi@mirror:~ $
                  

                  I use a small script that shows temperature, but also shows it in Domoticz and sends a Telegram notification if the temperature gets too high:

                  pi@mirror:~ $ ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
                  Raspberry Pi Temperature (domoticz) is 54.6 °C
                  
                  pi@mirror:~ $ cat ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
                  #!/bin/sh
                  
                  domoticzip=192.168.1.12
                  user=xxxx
                  pass=xxxx
                  tempidx=204
                  maxtemp=70
                  
                  RED='\033[0;31m'
                  NC='\033[0m'
                  val_temp=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9`
                  val_temp2=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9 | cut -c 1-2`
                  curl -s 'http://'$user':'$pass'@'$domoticzip'/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx='$tempidx'&nvalue=0&svalue='$val_temp'' > /dev/null
                  
                  if [ $val_temp2 -gt $maxtemp ]; then
                      echo "${RED}Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C ${NC}"
                      curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/sendMessage" -F chat_id=xxxxxxxx -F text="Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
                  else
                      echo "Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
                  fi
                  exit

                    Very nice job!
                    You live in the Netherlands, like me; can I ask you some questions by mail?
                    You have some things in your mirror that make me very curious how you did it!

                        the only thing was that 30min after hanging it on the wall, “version 1” came off the wall completely

                        This gave me a good laugh, thanks. :-)

                        I agree. Well thought out (the 2nd one), nicely executed, well documented, pictures and a story. I commend you. Fantastic! :-)
