I’ve been reading through the forum getting ready to create something for my Off grid solar place in Ontario Canada.
I built the place (Logs) with help from my uncle. Logs were all put into place by hand and since it was a bit of a distance from hydro I decided to install Solar which I did my self.
I’ve been into HomeAutomation since the 80’s using Windows and some Software I created in VB.net.
I first became aware of Magic mirrors in 1989 but originally though of them as simple things to amuse kids.
That was most likely due to the video. I’ve never been big on Linux but every year I’d load up the newest version to see how it was developing. This spring I jumped on the PI band wagon as the Zero W for $5 was just to tempting to pass up.
I embedded it into an existing X10 PC interface module and been using the Pi to control my Home Automation both here off grid and my city place since.
I retired about a year ago so I spend most of my time here at the log home (at least the months with no snow)
I was previously using a HP Thinclient as my Home automation control center but the PI 3B+ I use here uses much less power and is just as fast. -
Hi All
I’m Richard (when Mum is angry with me!) and Rich generally. I’m 57 and yes mum still gets angry with me! I am married with 2 lovely daughters and live in the best part of England called Cornwall. Most of my life is spent outdoors but recently had a heavy duty op for cancer. It worked and I am clear but left with damaged nerves and bladder. Basically I now work 4 hours a day and I am left with a lot more hours to play!
Came across this project and don’t have a clue what to do or how to install on Ubuntu so will ask the question.
My dream would be to own 5 acres and garden, help young people find jobs and play!

I just want to take the 100th post. :D
My name is Yi.(Yi is a very common family name in Korea.) I’m 45 Y old, born in Korea, living in Frankfurt a.M, Germany currently as an expatriate.
I was a programmer for some decade of years in S.Korea and Japan, but now I’m running a branch of my mother company here.
I was an old-schooled programmer. My first programming was Basic & Fortran on the Z80 machine. I was a little bored with being a small compartment of huge projects, so I quitted from programming and changed to products design. After that, finally business managing is my current job.
However, MM is a little and lovely project which kind of something can still be done individually. I found this project 2 years ago, and it becomes my greatest hobby at this moment.
And this can justify the reason to my wife why I still need an expensive Macbookpro :D -

Hi everyone!
I am David Gölzhäuser, 21 Years old from Bavaria (Germany) and working as a Software Developer in the Austrian Home Automation Company Loxone.
I made my first MagicMirror this year and I am planing on making more for our apartments next year to greet our visitors:)
I have already contributed to a number of MagicMirror modules and even the MagicMirror project itself.
You can find me on my Website
Oh, and here are the modules I made :winking_face:

Hi all, i am Roxx aka Nelson, aged 26 from Ahmedabad, india. I came to know about magic mirror from YouTube. Its so exciting to have one so i started building one for myself a week ago…
I haven’t learned any programming or anything complicated, i am just 10 grade pass, havent studied further… i am very much interested in computers, hardware & software, robotics, motorcycles, exploring… all that i know, i have learnt from internet and by practically breaking, disassembling, re-assembling gadgets, pc, tv, ac, home appliances, etc… i always want to open it, study how it works, how could i make it better and close it!! … i make simple stuff at home, diy, modify PC’s & Motorcycles, handyman job, etc.
Previously, i had bought arduino to make a clock but before i could make anything i lost it and dont remember where i kept it…
Now i am working to make touchscreen magic mirror since 1st jan 2019, i ordered raspberry 3b+, hdmi cable, sd card, power adaptor,… i got these minimum components and started… I have a 50inch tv at home so for now i am trying to get MM fully functional, then i will buy touchscreen and two way mirror and build Touchscreen Magic Mirror…
I collected all my old pc & laptop hardware to use for MM like ac-dc adaptors, wires, cooling fans, led’s, switches, etc. i wish to setup multiple cooling fans for the Rpi and the wooden frame, etc…
currently, i am having problems with modules in MM, hardest part for me is the programming language, editing the config file, modules, etc…
After coming to this website i noticed, its raspberry and not rasberry!
Thanks!
