    • RE: MMM-xiaomi - Temperature and Humidity from your smarthome

      I have now also the Yeelight Bulbs (Color) but i guess its not working to show the status in the mirror?
      or has @Albert2002 managed to get it working?
      I also only get a short id beginning with 56 or something wit the miio tool.
      I needed to install the Yeelight App in order to get the stuff discovered by the Amazon Echo . With the Mi Home app it was working to stear them, but not recognized in the Amazon App (took me a while to figure that out)

    • RE: Mirror Mounting Concerns / Ideas

      I bought the thinest vesa holder and screwed it directly to the 19" Mirror. Since the Monitor is the thickest Part, that fitter well in my case

    • RE: Heat Problem

      again. check the Pi.
      I am pretty sure, that its not getting to hot, because of undervoltage of the powersupply.

      I guess there is a stuck service or something, which causes the pi to work on its limit.

      Disable VNC if not used, disable Bluetooth if not used, and so on. Delete unneccesary stuff like Wolfram, python games…and so on.
      (google for cleaning up the pi)

      i had something happening like this, after installing some additional stuff on the mirror-pi. and it was not erased clearly after removing. Same issue. After research and manually erasing the services and files, all was good again.

    • RE: Heat Problem

      is it the power supply which is very hot, or is it the Pi?

      Is it the power supply, replace it like Mykle1 said. Thats way to hot.

      If its the pi, install

      sudo apt-get install htop
      

      and run it in the console with a simple “htop”
      you should see now the load of the pi and see which apps maybe take the power of the cpus, which cause the pi to get so hot. Tehn you can take further action.

    • RE: Possible sytax error in my config.js file?

      Since there isn’t yet so much “customized” stuff in there, i would suggest, you start again with the dummy file provided in the /config folder.

      Then add the first module, if this is working then, add the second… and so on.
      Otherwise you will go crazy.

    • RE: DHT22 problem

      hah, that would have been my next suggestion… take the xiaomi stuff.
      You can jsut throw it everywhere in your house, and you don’t need a wired connection.

      Here in the bottom.
      As you can see the humidity from the sensor is not showing correctly. Need to buy another one or … even better take another Xiaomi sensor ;)

      Don’t forget, that you need the Xiaomi Gateway in order to get the stuff to work

    • RE: DHT22 problem

      hmm. looks not so bad.
      It can take some time to read the sensor (~3-5 sec). But i guess you waited longer after the command?

      My DHT22 looks slightly different, an i had to solder a resistor between two pins.
      Maybe yours is ready made.

      Are you sure that 3.3V are enough? You could try to put your + line to pin 2 or 4 (right next to the ground)
      Should look like this;)

    • RE: DHT22 problem

      Test the output in a console directly on the pi in a active SSH session.

      If it is not working there, the mirror can’t show it, since it does the same.

      Fix your wireing and doublecheck the connected pins. Ground correct? Resistor solded well between the correct pins?
      Maybe you mixed up data and ground?

    • RE: DHT22 problem

      so you first installed the sensor and testet the output with

      sudo ./dht22 c 22
      and
      sudo ./dht22 h 22
      

      Please check if your wiring is correct in the wiringPi numbering.
      If your sensor is connected to GPIO 22this should work.

      Mine does (exept the humidity mostly shows 99.9%, but seems like a sensor issue)

      The tutorial you linked is way to complicated in our case. Just do it like it is described in
