Hello, Merry Christmas to you. The Magic Mirror project is not there yet. I first set myself to Home Assistant. The integration of the individual components was not difficult. I have only s.konfig problems. I find nothing like it is to be fidnen in the internet. It must be possible to change the access data of Plex again.
My current plan is to have the home assistant working properly. then the mirror will turn on. the headline is not quite fit because I want to get started piece by piece.
My hardware is a Pi3 via LAN cable on the router. As a router, I use a fritzbox 7590. I installed Home Assistant with the HASS.io image. OR. Flash the map, the rest of the installation takes all alone and can already find a lot of my hardware. Somehow the config just looks different and Home Assistant does not seem to understand what I’m telling him. I’ll play it all over again and try again.

Hello. So now I realize that I’m a bit rusty. Must read in a lot. But find nothing suitable.

Everywhere I look the cofigutration.yaml looks different than mine. to which I have tried to connect Plex. In WebUI was already the default in it, unfortunately I have there probably a mistake in the password. now I’ve been trying to find this confog. Without success. Exactly as I make change in Home Assistant does not seem to notice.

Weather and such things I can not change nciht. The map for tracking is gray. Seems as if it is not available. Somehow I have some hurdles to overcome and I can not really keep up. Do not want to constantly reinstall and re-link everything. does jemad have an idea what I’m doing wrong?
thank you all and happy holidays

Hello.
So I thought. I think in order to keep things running smoothly I would build the following.

A Pi3 for Homeassistent.
And a PI3 only for Magic Mirror.

So everyone has their own system for working. Everything else is then networking.

So I could build my 2 mirrors then only need all the information.
As already mentioned. if I have everything on a device and then attach clients could be difficult if jemadn in the bathroom in front of the mirror and in the hall in front of mirror. In addition, I suspect that then the system could hang.
The Win 7 offers, although it is always on and has enough power but could crash everything then nothing works.

So it comes for the time being 2 Pi3 if that works then another for the bathroom. I think that is the most meaningful

Oh, I somehow sorted it wrong the whole time.
heist Home Assistant I can put on the Windows 7 computer to relieve the teuil the PI.
I can only set up Magic Mirror with magic Mirror² and then install the desired modules and then run them completely independently.
PIR sensor to switch on motion and camera to detect everything placed on the PI.

Hello thanks for the information.
I would be most pleased about a face recognition.
All in all, the mirror is supposed to display personal comments. All around, the standard modules should be displayed. Incorporate Eventeull Home Assistant for the housing status indicator. Light and heating.
I think it would be best that there is a Hauptserver, since I have already run a Win 7 computer and eventeull then also a Web UI. Which modules then nciht run I would have to test. just thought that the Pi as a client does not have to do so much to cope with everything. Just retrieve and even the detection runs smoothly.

@j-e-f-f said in Magic Mirror 2 oder windows:

ungen, Pe

Hello thank you for the feedback. The face recognition I wanted to use the personal texts are displayed. There are indeed the module comments are displayed. In the end, I thought that I have a sensor that turns on the mirror when someone is in front of it and then just knows who is in front of it.
Small gimmicks must be like snow in the Advent season. In programming and problems, I always read myself to the emergency until I find something. Now for the new one:

I’m looking for you now. Now I have discovered more.
If I understand correctly, there are 3 possibilities that come into question with me.

1. I found Home Assistant. this tool can seem to work with my plex and could also show the current status of the apartment. Light from phillips HUE and temperatures from Homematic IP. In addition, the software on the Blutooth recognizes who is at home. However, I believe that I can integrate the Magic Mirror² only as an addon. How compatible that then with the MM modules I do not know.

2. Install Magic Mirror² and then all the modules you want.

3. The windows solution. then I would have to run the rapsberry only as a client. Eventually there would also be a Pi 1 because I still have 2 lying around. I already have a Windows 7 computer that is only there for Plex and 24/7 runs. or you take a small mini PC. The question is what works best.

I just remember when I make a central server then I need only clients and could hang so 2 mirrors to a central without everything twice to install. to the next point, I then have a web interface to configure.

I hope I’m right. I am undecided what to build. everything that I imagine to be able to implement.

Hi, I’m new here. I am andy and would like to build a Magic Mirror too.
Since my English is a bit rusty, I first have to make do with a translator. I hope that is no problem.
I already have some experience with programming a rapeberry.
Now I ask myself the question if I should work Magic Mirror2 or with Windows. I would like to realize a lot on the mirror, but I can not get out which advantages and disadvantages the two systems offer. I hope you can help me.
I would like to have the following things on the mirror
calendar
Weather
mails
Face recognition I my wife my son and visitors for personal greeting.
possibly also with voice output.

I hope for support.

MFG Andy
