Hi there,

I would like to present you my MagicMirror2

Bangee

Here is my frameless mirror project. I like this style a lot.

Here you can see the difference between the 12 % and 20 % mirror.
The room has big windows.

12%:

20%

Here is my latest project. I have integrated the PIR sensor in my the glass 😏

Bangee

ok so lets go step by step:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

now we will remove the PIR folder:
rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

run the following cmd here:
npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
sudo useradd -g pi gpio

and reboot your Raspi:
sudo reboot

You’ll have to connect your PIR Sensor the right way with your Raspi.
I’ve connected my PIR Sensor on the following Pins:
GPIO
I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
– correctin grn pin

PIR Sensor

and dont forget to add the config :-)

This one is also built with a 24" Monitor and a 12 %, 4mm Mirror.
I would recommend this one.

Here is my MMM-DHT22 Module.
Temperature and Humidity monitoring Module for MagicMirror2 that works for DHT22 and AM2302 sensors.
https://github.com/Bangee44/MMM-DHT22/

It’s analog to @psk’s Module: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/726/mmm-temperature-humidity-module-dht11-dht22-and-am2302-sensors

But I don’t want to run MagicMirror as Root with sudo.

Hey there beginners like me :-)

I would like to show you, where and how to find errors while installing, using or developing MagicMirror 2.

What we need:
MagicMirror2 from github -> https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror installed on a Raspberry Pi.

Try to use the automatic install as described in the Readme.md.

A really good tool to see whats going on behind your MM2 is Firebug -> http://getfirebug.com/
If you run you MM2 as node serveronly you will have a lot of informations.

Connect to your Raspberry using Putty -> http://www.putty.org/
Username: pi
Password: raspberry

Start StandaloneServer: node serveronly
open your FirefoxBrowser http://192.168.0.150:8080 (replace your Raspy’s IP adresse)
Press F12 to start Firebug

If you are using PM2 you will get informations running these command:
pm2 info mm (replace mm whit your App Name)

Output:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 info mm
 Describing process with id 0 - name mm

 Add your own code metrics: http://bit.ly/code-metrics
 Use `pm2 logs mm (--lines 1000)` to display logs
 Use `pm2 monit` to monitor CPU and Memory usage mm

Here you’ll find again a lot of informations where to find your error_log or your out_log.

If you create a console.log("something"); debug message or output you’ll be able to see this info using the following command:
tail -f /home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-out-0.log (replace the path with your paht to log or error file)

This will be continued…

so long Bangee…

Do you have a picture from the back? :-)

I’ve tried to use PIN 26. In my electron errorlog, there was this msg:

[Error: digitalRead: IsInt32(arguments['pin']) === false]

So I went back to PIN 22 and now my mirror starts again. :-)

EDIT:

New idea -> Try without ’ ';

{
module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
sensorPIN: 2 ,
}
}

Bangee

Ok, that’s a nice modul :-)

I’ve insert an restart function for the MM app and the ability to turn you monitor on and off:

insert in node_helper.js at line 54:

				if (query.action === 'RESTART')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('pm2 restart mm', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}
				if (query.action === 'MONITORON')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}
				if (query.action === 'MONITOROFF')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}

in remote.js on line 131:

    'restart-mm-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=RESTART");
    },
    'monitor-on-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=MONITORON");
    },
    'monitor-off-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=MONITOROFF");
    }

in remote.html on line 40:

<!-- MagicMirror menu -->

and the translations/en.json and de.json on line 8 ff:

    "RESTARTMM": "Restart MagicMirror2",
    "MONITORON": "Turn monitor ON",
    "MONITOROFF": "Turn monitor OFF",

    "RESTARTMM": "Starte MagicMirror2 neu",
    "MONITORON": "Bildschirm einschalten",
    "MONITOROFF": "Bildschirm ausschalten",

I think thats it.

The evil this is a must for my mirror… so thats next. I think we can do this like the IFTTT module does it.
Install modules remotly will be the next big thing… :-)
