@binderth I tried testing it by turning my WiFi off on my phone, waiting a few minutes to see if it turns off and it doesn’t turn off. I even physically left the house for dinner and came home to it still on. I love the feature and would do almost anything to get it to work. I’m new to all this stuff so i don’t have the skill to debug on my own.

Philadelphia, PA

@binderth When i read through the Read ME, it says that the Residence determines when to turn on and off. I want this to work for me so then i can put my wifes phone in there as a resident and that way, when both of us leave, it shuts off. when one of us is home, it stays on.

Of course it could work. Just replace the mirror with a two way mirror and attach the monitor to the door. Run the wiring along the hinge side of the door and either have an outlet behind the cabinet or feed the power cable through the bottom or side to reach an outlet. Good luck and post some pictures!

@binderth I think you are on a right track. We just need to debug the “simple” task of turning on and off and then the fun can begin with other stuff.

@strawberry-3.141 And that worked! I swear, i have no clue what we noobs would do without you.

This is amazing! I love a little bit of color.
How do I change my Header colors?

@Sean i restarted the pi and my computer that is running the spotify. Everything is running and working as it should. buttons work, displays very well and its all good. Sorry, for the false alarm. noob moment.

@sdetweil perfect! Thanks!

Not sure how i did this or how to reverse it. During each restart, i have two windows of magic mirror. One is names “MagicMirror” and the other is “mm”. I prefer to use the “mm”.
How do i delete the auto start for “MagicMirror”?
I have to do a pm2 stop MagicMirror in order to get rid of the duplicate screen.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 stop MagicMirror

I did look into that and it seems to be the only program available. I just dont want to spend $30 for it. thats the only thing that sucks. Share Mouse is free but doesnt support Linux.

Is there a program out there like Share Mouse that is compatible with Linux (raspberry Pi) and Windows?
My desktop sits right by my pi and having one keyboard on the desk is the goal.

Having an issue with the song info showing up on the MM.
I have everything installed correctly ( to my knowledge, or else it would work right?) and have the white Spotify symbol.
I entered my Client ID and Secret.
Callback and port are in there. I authorized through Spotify…
Not sure what i am missing…

Help?

{
  			module: "MMM-Spotify",
  			position: "bottom_left",
  			config: {
    				style: "mini", // "default" or "mini" available
    				control: "default", //"default", "hidden" available
    				updateInterval: 1000,
    				onStart: null, // disable onStart feature with `null`
    				allowDevices: [], //If you want to limit devices to display info, use this.
    				// allowDevices: ["RASPOTIFY", "My iPhoneX", "My Home speaker"],
  				}
		},

{
  "CLIENT_ID" : "xxxx",
  "CLIENT_SECRET" : "xxxx",

  "SCOPE" : "user-read-private app-remote-control playlist-read-private streaming user-read-playback-state user-modify-playback-state",
  "TOKEN" : "./token.json"
}

I went through all of the avenues and this was the only way it stuck.
I am creating a second MM Pi so ill try it again on this Pi.

This website was exactly what i needed to get the latest version and it worked.

I am not having much luck with this. Been searching and trying everything…

Hello,

My father in law was impressed with my magic mirror and asked me the below:
“Can someone use the concept to report metrics in an operation? Are you limited as to where you can pull information from? For example, can we pull information from an Excel spreadsheet?”

Could there be an existing module that could reference cells or a group of cells information and display that information on the screen?
