      @videogame95 said in What's the best RasPi to use to make a magic mirror at the moment and why?:

      I would use a raspberry pi 4 but your need get a good way powering it up as it need a power supple with 3.1 amps

      anyone have a better way of powering up the pi 4 to tv

      ive just come across 2 usb modules (dual usb A, usb A+C) that go inside wall sockets for charging… im going to do a little bit of wiring with this a couple of suitable fuses to power my monitor and the usb A+C module. the module will power my pi4 and a usb speaker. i just have to finalise a few other things before i finish it all up.

    • RE: MMM-KeyBindings: Control your mirror with Amazon Fire Stick Remote and Generic Keyboard Inputs

      Hi @shbatm ,

      ive been using MMM-Keybindings for a while with MMM-pages and up untill a month or so ago i noticed a problem that if ive used google assistant or click on screen, keybindings seems to loose focus and pressing the keys will not work until you click in the top bar where alerts come then i can use again untill problem repeats itself. i also have had the same problems with it when using your MMM-Carousel module as i taught it might be pages fault.

      thank you

    • RE: Could use some assistance setting up MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation and understanding the architecture

      @sdetweil

      so i figured it out… using barnabycolby im not able to have the page rotation set to 0.
      MMM-GoogleAssistant works as intended along with MMM-GABackground.

      My config for barnabycolbys:

      {
                  module: 'MMM-Carousel',
                  config: {
                      transitionInterval: 10000,
      		showPageIndicators: true,
      		showPageControls: true,
                      ignoreModules: ['alert'],
                      mode: 'slides',
                      slides: [
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast'],
                          ['MMM-google-route'],
                          ['MMM-google-route2'],
      		    ['MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic'],	
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'calendar', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-MyCommute', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE', 'MMM-Spotify', 'MMM-GoogleFit', 'newsfeed'],
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-YouTube', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-NetworkConnection', 'deluge', 'MMM-SystemStats'],
                      	],
                  }
              },
      
      
      

      using shbatm i needed the position: 'bottom_bar' and now i can set the rotation time to 0 and control the slides with the arrow keys and MMM-KeyBindings, however it seems that when i use this version the MMM-GoogleAssistant does not display the correct background and therefore cannot use the new MMM-GABackground

      my config for shbatm:

      {
                  module: 'MMM-Carousel',
      	    position: 'bottom_bar',
                  config: {
                      transitionInterval: 0,
      		showPageIndicators: true,
      		showPageControls: true,
                      ignoreModules: ['alert'],
                      mode: 'slides',
                      slides: {
                          "Default":['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast'],
                          "Work":['MMM-google-route'],
                          "Office":['MMM-google-route2'],
      		    "Traffic":['MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic'],	
                          "Home":['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'calendar', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-MyCommute', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE', 'MMM-Spotify', 'MMM-GoogleFit', 'newsfeed'],
                          "Info":['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-YouTube', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-NetworkConnection', 'deluge', 'MMM-SystemStats'],
                      	},
                      keyBindings: { 
                          enabled: true,
                          map: {
                              NextSlide: "ArrowRight", 
                              PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft", 
                              Slide0:    "Home"
                         	 },
                          keyBindingsMode: "DEFAULT"
                      }
                  }
              },
      

      hope this helps someone

      @Bugsounet @shbatm any idea why GAB will work with one carousel module and not another?

      how are you using the gesture sensor? have you it behind glass/2 way mirror/plastic ?

      in the readme file it says it doesnt work behind spy glass, does that include regular glass with a reflective film?

      im guessing that it wont work but hoping that it will! :)

    • RE: Could use some assistance setting up MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation and understanding the architecture

      hi,

      while we are on the subject of carousel… ive just been playing with it and only having moderate success.

      first here is my Module Code:

      /*-------------------- MMM-Carousel Start-----------------*/
      
      {
      
                  module: 'MMM-Carousel',
      //	    position: 'botton_bar',
                  config: {
                      transitionInterval: 10000,
      		showPageIndicators: true,
      		showPageControls: true, 
                      ignoreModules: ['alert'],
                      mode: 'slides',
                      slides: [
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast'],
                          ['MMM-google-route2'],
      		    ['MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic'],	
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'calendar', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-MyCommute', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE', 'MMM-Spotify', 'MMM-GoogleFit', 'newsfeed'],
                          ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-YouTube', 
      		    'MMM-NetworkConnection', 'deluge', 'MMM-SystemStats', 'MMM-NetworkScanner'],
                      	],
                      keyBindings: { 
                          enabled: true,
                          map: {
                              NextSlide: "ArrowRight", 
                              PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft", 
                              Slide0:    "Home"
                         	 },
                          mode: "DEFAULT" 
                      } 
                  }
              },
      
      

      when i used barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel it works fine rotating tru the pages every 10 secs… but when i change the rotation time to 0 so i can manually pick with arrow keys, it kind of has a fit and cant decide what page to show. and cpu usage goes high also

      then i found shbatm/MMM-Carousel tried it and when used in the config above its loads all modules and stacks them on the first and only page. Then i tried it withhh this code:

                      slides: [
                          Default: ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast'],
                          Work: ['MMM-google-route2'],
      		    Traffic:['MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic'],	
                          Home: ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'calendar', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-MyCommute', 'MMM-NetworkScanner', 
      		    'MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE', 'MMM-Spotify', 'MMM-GoogleFit', 'newsfeed'],
                          Info: ['clock', 'calendar_monthly', 'currentweather', 'weatherforecast', 'MMM-YouTube', 
      		    'MMM-NetworkConnection', 'deluge', 'MMM-SystemStats', 'MMM-NetworkScanner'],
                      	],
      

      and i get the “please create a config file” error

      then i noticed the different type bracket after slide: changed the []'s to {}'s and again it tries to load all modules on first page. then taught to delete the Default: Work: etc and i was back with the “please create a config file” error.

      also tried taking all the duplicate modules out and only have unique modules on each page with no luck, i think ive tried all the different ways covered in the post.

      to say im stumped is a bit of an understatement! :/

      hope all that made sense…hope someone can help :)

      Thanks,

      Richie

    • RE: MMM-GABackgound -- Allow Change GoogleAssistant Background

      hi again,

      so ive been playing about to see what the problem was and i found out that when using MMM-Carousel GA and GAB work fine but when used with MMM-Pages i GA works fine but doesnt show the black google assistant logo or the GAB - Jarvis. earlier you said to configure MMM-Pages correctly, im not sure what in pages i need to change.

      i would just use MMM-Carousel but im having some issues with that too! :/

      Thanks again
