To expand upon @Mykle1’s post: You need to specify the IP address that the web server will use. If you don’t have the address: portion filled out like above, the framework won’t quite know where it should be hosting the web server.
If “0.0.0.0” doesn’t work, try “127.0.0.1”. If that doesn’t work, try your Pi’s IP address on your network.
@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.
I’ll just chime in and say that I’ve bought two mirrors from www.twowaymirrors.com and couldn’t be happier. The first was a weird size (88" x 15" or so) that was for my office. The second was a normal size for a 24" monitor.
I didn’t take pictures unfortunately, but the 88x15 mirror arrived in a custom crate that was built like a tank. I was quite pleased with the service I received.
@johnnyboy - In the latest version of Raspbian Buster, you can rotate it through the UI. But you have to do a full OS update so as to include the latest version of the desktop.
On the pi, open a terminal window (ctrl+t) and update everything: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
That step will take a while to complete. Depending on your model of Pi, expect 30 minutes or so. It will require a reboot at the end, so reboot your Pi.
Once the Pi is back up, you’ll be at the desktop. If you’ve already installed Magic Mirror, you’ll want to stop it by opening a terminal window and entering pm2 stop all. Go to the Raspberry button follow Raspberry -> Preferences -> Screen Configuration. The configuration dialog will appear. Follow the menu like so: Configure -> Screens -> HDMI1 -> Orientation and make your selection to rotate the screen. It will enable the green check mark which will apply your selection.
Select whichever orientation makes sense for you. Just so you know, the descriptions describe the bottom of the monitor. So the “left” entry puts the bottom of the monitor on the left in portrait mode.
@Chrisflex - They’re pretty much one and the same. You already have git installed. Open a terminal in the modules folder, clone the module repository into it, follow the module’s instructions on installing & configuring.
@dhruvgami1989 - I wonder if the globe image is pushing the upper three regions higher? I have a couple things to try, but I don’t have a solution really.
I hope one of these works for you.
@videogame95 - I normally put a travel power strip inside the frame for the mirror. I’ve since started adding external switches that cut the power to the power strip, but you can get by with just using the power strip’s plug.
Once you have the power strip in the frame, you can plug in the 3.1 amp adapter into the strip, along with the monitor, LED supply or whatever else you have back there. With some careful shopping, you might find a strip with a USB C plug built into it.
You may have luck checking with the local school shop class and/or technical college. People learning how to use the tools can easily make the frame for a monitor. I’m not familiar with Norway’s educational system, but someone has to make furniture and they have to learn somewhere. Find them.
@singhharry12 - That’s exactly what I did. Add this line to your configuration: osmMapUrl: "https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
Looks great (actual rain on rain map today!)
Indeed! The existing modular framework is perfect for quick customizable dashboards. A heads-up display for the home. If you could build one over your existing window it would be a fun way to look outside and still get your information.
Now we just have to hope the price is within reach.
