    • RE: MirroPane Frameless Mounting?

      @johans In the midst of the Holidays, found difficulty getting in touch with them. Was hoping to find an answer on the forums in the meantime.

      Got in touch with them today, for future users with a similar question: Grey Mirropane reflective material is attached on the frontside of the glass. So mounting to the backside with 3M VHB is a go :thumbs_up: Asked for alternative mounting materials, and they said 3M VHB is what they use as well.

    • MirroPane Frameless Mounting?

      I’m wishing to attach a ‘frameless’ wooden frame using 3M VHB tape to MirroPane Glass. I’m having trouble finding info about the MirroPane Coating.

      My Question: Will the MirroPane Coating effect mounting a frameless build? Thanks!

    • RE: New 2-way mirror supplier - low prices and lead times

      @ivanov_d Thanks for the quote! With shipping cost, it’s a little out of my budget. I’ll see if I can manage to do a diy build. Thanks though!

      Hi @Ivanov_d, nice work on the mirror build. I’m about to begin on the hardware + mirror part of the project.

      What’s the estimate shipping cost to Tx, USA? (Using the same dimensions of the mirror you have in your bathroom, I’m a fan of that size. https://youtu.be/wqJNxCwOmck) Thanks!

    • RE: Borderless bathroom mirror

      Great work, Ivanov! I’m working on a similar build. (Frameless, LEDs, Motion Detection).

      I’m curious, how are you powering the LEDs and Pi?
      Right now I’m running a 5v10a PSU, splitting it to power both: Pi 3b+ and a strip of Ws2812b.

      Getting a low power draw (lightning bolt symbol) signal on my Pi. I’m also running a separate PSU to power my monitor. Do you happen to be powering everything from one power supply?

      Cheers

    • MMM-PIR-Sensor execute .py script

      Goal: Execute .py using MMM-Pir-Sensor

      Hi all, I’m having trouble executing a .py script that sits in the directory:

      /home/pi/Documents/test.py

      According to @orayoflighto in this thread, he suggests adding 1 line to node_helper.js that sits in the MMM-PIR-Sensor module directory from:

              if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
                exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
      

      to

              if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1){
                exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
                exec("python /home/pi/py-spidev/RPi-LPD8806/LED.py");
             }
      

      I’ve tried this exec() below in both activateMonitor and briefHDMIWakeup function and it’s not working.

          briefHDMIWakeup: function() {
              const self = this
              exec("/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power").stdout.on('data', function(data) {
                  if (data.indexOf("display_power=0") === 0) {
                      exec("/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1", null);
                      exec("python /home/pi/Documents/test.py")
      

      Note, calling sudo python3 test.py in cmd line works itself. I’m having trouble figuring out why exec() is not calling in node_helper.js. Any tips on debugging this?

      I tried console.log(text); in .js file. It’s not calling either (i may be totally viewing command prompt wrong to view debug message)

      Thanks for reading!
