@Gucek - With some careful woodworking, you should be okay. I think the main issue is going to be how do you secure both the glass and the monitor so that they don’t fall out when you open the glass/frame component. You don’t want the glass to fall out and you don’t want the monitor to fall out.

My very first mirror had a 3/4" gap between the mirror and the monitor and it was noticeable. You will want to find some way to secure the glass so that it’s held securely but presses flush up against the monitor when closed.

Take your time and plan out everything. Good luck.

@thiske - Nice work. That’s a very clean build you have there. Can you give us some dimension? It’s hard to get a sense of scale.

@Richtw - Yeah, that error usually means that there is an error in your config.js file.

Couple suggestions:

1. Try this out in the MagicMirror folder: npm run config:check. It will let you know if there are any errors in your config.js file.
2. Post the relevant section of your config.js file in this thread. Be sure to use the markdown features of the forum for readability.

[Dammit, I am about this close to just deleting my repository. It’s not my module and I’m sick of fixing it.]

@dwburger - Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

You may also want to take a look at MMM-RAIN-MAP.

@omarr - That’s amazingly thin. Is that sunk into the wall? It looks great.

@FlatPepsi - To be fair, DarkSky has been pushing that date back every so often. I think originally it was going to terminate on 1 December 2022.

@bdream Another option is to use a tool that will let you remotely log into her mirror from your house. Then when she says that it is displaying the available update, you can remotely perform the steps.There are a few services out there that allow you one or two remote access for free and then you pay for any others beyond that.

But @sdetweil is correct: the mirror itself is very stable so just disable the update notification. If something breaks, she’ll let you know.

@KI6UVE - I also have this error on a Innovatek Quadra (can’t find an RPi for sale for love or money).

Bah. I thought I had something helpful to add. Never mind. It’s not working for me either.

@Bungle68 said in MMM-InternetMonitor:

@sdetweil thanks again, I now at last have the small meters showing, but now it’s not registering any speed at all 🤔 @bhepler, any suggestions?
It’s all zero?

I tried your configuration on my system and got this:

One thing I notice straight away is that your maximum speed is set to 1000 Mb/s. My fiber connection is rated at like 1/10th of that speed. I don’t know what kind of internet connection you have running to your house, but my guess is that you’re not seeing any data because your connection is just a sliver of the available graph.

Try this: set the maxGuageScale to 100 in your config.js entry.

@Weste - I’ve had good experience with www.twowaymirrors.com to source the glass. LCDs were monitors I bought off of Amazon that had the correct dimensions and HDMI ports that faced down.

I also do not add touch capability to my mirrors. You’ll put smears on your mirror.

I build my own frames. It’s not very difficult. If you don’t have tools or much woodworking experience, you can go to a local frame shop for the facing frame (the pretty part that will border your glass).

@nickthebeer said in New Bulid:

@Bungle68 when I built my mirror I decided that I was never going to turn the monitor off so I removed all unnecessary peripherals from the pi and powered it via the monitors USB port so I have one cable from the power source which is to the monitor.

I’ve tried this before and the problem I consistently have is that the USB ports on the monitor do not supply enough power to run a Raspberry Pi 3B+. That model is quite thirsty and requires 2.4 amps to run properly. It’s usually best to get a dedicated power supply (wall wart) for the Pi.

Lately, I’ve been putting a travel power strip behind the monitor to power the monitor and Pi separately.

@Lilleberg Try using the upper_third position for your pictures. That may be closer to what you want.

My fork of the module has been updated and the new code has been merged to the master branch. Let me know if you hit any issues with it.

I suppose more detailed instructions are in order. To use my development branch of my fork of the internet-monitor module, give this a try.

cd MagicMirror/modules
sudo rm -rf internet-monitor
git clone https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor.git
cd internet-monitor
switch 2022-fix
npm install

Once it is done, you should be able to use your existing configuration. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

@mayfield - No. Install from here: https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor.git

If you have installed from Ronny3050’s repository, you’ll need to delete that folder and clone from mine.

Okay, I believe I have it fixed for this module. Please switch over to the 2022-fix branch and give it a pull & install. Let me know if it works for you and I’ll issue a PR.

Big shout out to @bugsounet for figuring it out and from whom I blatantly stole a lot of code. At some point I remembered that this isn’t my module and I’m just trying to get it functioning again. It helped me ignore a lot of things I would have changed.

@bugsounet said in Internet Monitor:

the real question is why using v1.6.2 version of SpeedTest library?

Because using speedtest-net after this version requires a code change.

Now retry with your pi, a linux env or … with wsl under windows

Oh, great. I develop on Windows so I can make use of a proper IDE. Fine. I’ll dig up something.

@sdetweil said in Internet Monitor:

the problem is under windows, this path is bad as it doesn’t have
unfortunately NPM is NOT platform neutral

Sigh. It figures. Not tonight, but I’ll work on it in the near future.

@Anthony - In my CNC work I have run into a lot of electromagnetic interference. One thing that has helped a bit is to add ferrite cores to most of my input wires at both ends. Especially any USB wires.
Your friendly electronics shop should have something like these.

@bugsounet - Pretty sure.
Here is the GitHub discussion on the problem.
