Thank you, I’ll give this a go!

Hi All,

I’m new to this forum, and also new to the world of Magic Mirror

Looking to get into this, so readup on the possibility of using the Pi Zero 2W, but get alot of conflicting messages, where some say the 512Mb is not enough, but others say its sufficiant, albeit it might be slightly slow at times

I tried to configure the Pi Zero by running the desktop version, but could not get Magic Mirror to install / run (keeps on failing due to unsuported OS) … Lateron I mange to get it to run using only the Lite OS ( ie no desktop ) … so far so good, but keen to hear some views

So questions few then,
a) Any of you running Magic Mirror on the Pi Zero 2W, and if so - how is it configured (Desktop / Lite) ?
b) Can I run / use some form of PIR / Camera to detect someone to swich the LCD on/off - again, any issues ?
c) Any other issues I might need to be aware off ?

If the Zero is not ideal, what other Pi should I consider [ thinking my other board - a Pi4 4Gig, might be somewhat of an overkill ? ] – but wanna hear from you guys with bit more experience than me on this topic

Cheers !
