Hello all,

I thought I would share with you my first MagicMirror project.

Also want to say thank you to the entire community for the healthy support and commitment to the MagicMirror and all it’s newbies, I for one truly appreciate it.

I am currently using the following modules
MMM-RPI-LED
MMM-iCloud-Client
calendar
MMM-Events
MMM-Globe
MMM-DarkSkyForecast
MMM-HomeAutomation (local hack of ‘mmm-openhabfloorplan’ used for displaying home automation, power and local weather station data)
MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify
MMM-SystemStats
newsfeed
MMM-Cursor
MMM-Remote-Control

Frame was made from reclaimed barn wood and glass is Dielectric TV Mirror from twowaymirrors.com

Screen is a Dell (S2718D) S series 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

This monitor has a USB-C power adapter with a USB-C pass through which I used to power the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

I also have attached a USB speaker and USB microphone (both currently unused)

I have had a lot of fun building the home automation portion that displays the status of more than 100 smart home devices including indoor and outdoor lighting, security sensors, thermostats, fan controls and smart roller shades.

Here are a couple of pictures of the mirror

Feedback welcome.

@jbat66 , @karsten13 , thank you for the help, I was able to get it going using the custom commands in MMM-Remote-Control

@karsten13 I was not able to get any commands using the wlr-randr to show anything other than “failed to connect to display”, however, after much searching, I did find a command that was able to turn the screen off and on

MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off

MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 60 --rotate left

Although I’m not sure how to get this into something that can be called from MagicMirror itself so that it can be run as a menu command in MMM-Remote-Control or some other way that it can be called from outside of MagicMirror

@karsten13 said in MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor:

wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off

@karsten13, I did try those commands and I receive this response to both

MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
failed to connect to display

Anyone using MM on a Raspberry Pi 5 or running a Raspberry Pi 5 in general know how to turn off the monitor now?

I have been using MMM-Remote-Control and turning off/on the monitor using the following requests

http://<MagicMirrorIPAddress>:8080/remote?action=MONITOROFF

http://<MagicMirrorIPAddress>:8080/remote?action=MONITORON

Which ultimately issue the commands

vcgencmd display_power 0

vcgencmd display_power 1

but these commands, no longer work and are generating errors and not Turing the monitor off/on

}

This is the command line result from outside of MM

MMUser@MagicMirror:~ $ vcgencmd display_power 0
vc_gencmd_read_response returned -1
error=1 error_msg="Command not registered"

Web searches for a solution have been unsuccessful.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Hello,

I have a webcam url that returns an SVG graphic that I would like to display on my MagicMirror2, anyone know of a way or module to do this?

Thanks!

@sdetweil Yes, I am not very confident in my Internet sometimes! I work from home and I see my connection to the office drop for a few seconds on average every day. I am also trying to rule that out as a possible cause for some mysterious lockups where the MM and RPi appear to still be running but I lose VNC connectivity and eventually have to pull the plug to reboot :-(

@sdetweil Thank you for the explanation, I will not worry too much about those errors then.

I have had some mysterious lockups on the MM and so I am just trying to resolve what I can from the logs to better pin it down, I really appreciate all the help!

@sdetweil No, I do not run any DNS blocking tools locally.

Hello, I have seen few times in the logs the errors below.

Does anyone know if this is more likely related to local internet connectivity or something external and if there are any ways to resolve it.

Thank you kindly,

Rick

Hello, I have seen the following errors in the log for calendars and am looking for help to resolve them.

The first issue appears it may be a legit 503 service unavailable issue, but does throw an error into the log.

[2020-10-14 13:34:33.657] [ERROR]  Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar:  http://p42-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/MjE1NDI5NjM0Mj*MASKED*--sxGM 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

I have also seen the following error but they don’t always coincide with the 503 errors so not sure if they are related or not.
