@pascal456 That looks awesome! Do you have a build log? Or pictures of the back? What are you using to attach the mirror to the monitor?

@umeeq - Looking at your info, the pm2 process is expecting to find the mm.sh file in the folder /home/pi

It’s this line: script path /home/pi/mm.sh

So move the script to that location.

mv /home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh /home/pi
chmod +x /home/pi/mm.sh

This reminds me of a joke.

Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. It’s a hardware problem.

A: None. Just tell the software engineers to code around it.

@Calrus - I’m glad you got it working. In the future, please use the markdown features of the board when posting code.

@Kimzer Most likely, it’s a problem with the Weather Underground database. If something is preventing them from receiving an update from the weather station they use to provide you with conditions, then they’ll just stay there until they resolve the issue.

You could try shifting the forecast to another location just to verify that the temperature does change over time. If other locations update, then the problem is on their end. If it doesn’t update temperature at all, then come back and we’ll see what we can find.

The upcoming wedding of a friend was the excuse I needed to build a mirror. Their decorating tastes are a bit more frilly than most, so I went with a different look than most mirror builders.

The UI is a bit plain, but because it’s a gift I don’t have access to schedule feeds, Instagram accounts, commutes, etc. After the wedding, I’ll talk to them and see if they want changes.

Update for 2024!

• Latest version has a more robust image loading which should cut down on missing images.
• Implemented the overTime variable, which will allow you to override the calculated date & time for Santa’s trip. This is useful for testing beforehand.

Merry Christmas!

Okay, I have the weather integration working. I’ll spare you the process I went through to figure it out, but the short version is that I am a worse developer than I originally suspected. The remoteFile capability works by replacing the three compliment arrays (morning, afternoon & evening). The weather integration works (sensibly, IMHO) by adding weather-specific compliments to the existing arrays.

So in order to get them both working, you need to specify both the original arrays and the weather-specific arrays. You can delete any weather-specific arrays you wish, but you must have the morning, afternoon & evening arrays. Copy & paste this compliments.json file to your mirror and then modify accordingly.

{
  "morning": ["Morning compliment"],
  "afternoon": ["Afternoon compliment"],
  "evening": ["Evening compliment"],
  "day_sunny" : [
    "Day Sunny Compliment 1",
    "Day Sunny Compliment 2"
  ],
  "day_cloudy" : [
    "Day Cloudy Compliment 1",
    "Day Cloudy Compliment 2"
  ],
  "cloudy" : ["Cloud 1"],
  "cloudy_windy" : ["Cloud windy"],
  "showers" : ["Showers"],
  "rain" : ["Rain"],
  "thunderstorm" : ["Thunderstorm"],
  "snow" : ["Snow"],
  "fog" : ["Fog"],
  "night_clear" : ["Night clear"],
  "night_cloudy" : ["Night Cloudy"],
  "night_showers" : ["Night showers"],
  "night_rain" : ["Night Rain"],
  "night_thunderstorm" : ["Night thunderstorm"],
  "night_snow" : ["Night Snow"],
  "night_alt_cloudy_wind": ["Night Cloudy Winds"]
}

I’m going to work on this a bit and hopefully the next release of the MirrorMirror software will be a bit more friendly. As an aside, I’ve noticed that the weather integration technique continually adds to the arrays. So the memory usage will grow and grow at whatever frequency you set the compliment refresh. This isn’t terrible, as straight text doesn’t take a whole lot of memory. But it may have unintended effects if you leave your mirror running for months at a time or if you are expecting a true randomization of the compliments you enter.

@Kimzer I wrote up a method using a version of Motion for the RasPi. It’s under the tutorials section of the forum. It’s a non-module solution, so there’s some weirdness involved. But I did get it to work with a Raspicam.

@mickyas - This module doesn’t switch off the pi, it just switches off the output to the monitor.

@dæmoneyes - It’s probably another genius idea from the same guys who made “flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing.
