Hi,
Pretty much all of my software is done, but when I start it up, it goes straight to desktop for a few seconds and then finally goes to the magic mirror. Is it normal for the whole setup to take about 90 sec (1.5 min) or is it just me?

I am working on a project that uses the raspberry pi to monitor and control the irrigation of plants. Is there any way to create a custom module for that sole purpose? Anyone who knows please respond because this project’s deadline is creeping up on me.

Thanks! This helps a lot.

Hi all,

I have been using the magic mirror for a couple weeks, and it has occurred to me how great the system really is. As a Muslim , I have to stay on top of all of my religious duties, so I was wondering if there are any other Muslims out there with more tech knowledge than me who are able to develop modules for Muslims such as prayer times ( islamicfinder.org/ ). I also would suggest that different modules be made to help people with their everyday lives. Again, these are only suggestions, but I hope all of you tech savvy people keep doing what you’re doing to make everyone’s life a little bit easier.

Thanks! How do I add it to the config.js file and how do I find my pi’s IP address?

By the way, have you set up motion detection? I am trying to, but I don’t have any idea what to do. Do you know?

At first, I thought I had everything figured out. I soon realized that I need a way to turn it my mirror on and off cleanly. I have found the remote control module, but I don’t completely understand it. Could anyone help me? The only thing I can think of is connecting the main cable with a switch to turn it on and using the remote control to turn it on once I figure things out. Also, how could I set up a PIR sensor?

I have it set up on my raspberry pi 3 too, but I use Ethernet for the whole thing. All I did was go to the menu, and after searching around a bit, I found out how to change the settings for time ( I put EST since I live in the east of the USA). It changed right away. I hope this helps and sorry if it doesn’t.

Cool! Many thanks!

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to incorporate the Amazon Echo Dot into the Magic Mirror. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me.
