in the same idea an adaptor display port > hdmi would also work no? anyone has tried this ?

@RHeniz ok let me know what you would find. i share my idea which is to use the usb port on my monitor to plug in 1 or 2 modified PC fans… i guess with a PIR sensor installed as well, the rasp will switch on/off the monitor when needed and therefore power monitor usb ports accordingly (i am not sure that’s gona work :)) Other opinion i have thought about is to plug into the gpio’s the fan and control the temp via a sensor, write the code to activate the fans accordingly to the temp value setup in the code… much more “complicated” way for a newbie as me but interesting one! (would be nice to get help on this from someone ;-))

@RHeniz hi! did you find any reliable “advanced” solution regarding this heat issue? like turn on the fan(s) as soon as the temp in the box reaches a certain level? i am a bit surprised that nobody talks about this topic… i am still building my mirror so didn’t faced the problem yet but i would have think that a source of heat (monitor/rasp) in a closed box would somehow produce heat and therefore evacuation of the heat would be needed (more then some holes…) If anybody would like to share their opinion, please feel freev:)

@Bangee klar danke

@Bangee where is it? Zuri? Bulle?

@bhepler thx you very much for sharing! :) I will have a look

@Bangee exact that’s what I would have done but before I would have like to know the price and delivery terms.

@Bangee hello, I called the company glastrosch but they told me that they don’t take orders from private people… only companies orders are valid. Did you get your one via a company or??

@KirAsh4 I think it’s rather 40W / 4 ports = 10W per port :-) but no prob I got the math ;-) I will have a look and again and let you know in case. Thx so much for your time! Appreciated.

@KirAsh4 ya a wall powered one will surely supply nice output power. If you want to share your Anker model - feel free :p
