Description:

A simple module to put a countdown to an event, displays days left to the set date.
Displays one line when the day is here and another one when the event is over.

Version 0.4 (16/3 2017)

Added the option to change text when the day has passed,
suggested by @Snille !

Version 0.3

Fixed half day bug, also increased the update interval so it now updates every hour instead.

Version 0.2

Fixed hour issue, not displaying the event in the morning.

Version 0.1

Quick and dirty, try it, should work.

Thickness doesn’t really matter.

But no, you can’t get glass that works perfectly in all lighting conditions, you basically have to decide where the mirror goes and choose type frome there.

My usual recommendations are :

Dark rooms, with limited/dimmed lighting go with 4-10% light transmission (not really recommeded at all, but this limits bleed through of the monitors backlight). Here you have the mirropane series that has models from 3% (chrome), 8% (chrome spy) and regular mirropane at 10%. And do note the chrome series has a “darker” reflection than mirroview that is brighter/more silver.

Normal lit rooms, without direct sunlight go with 12-20% light transmission (sweet spot is 12% when balancing readability and backlight bleed through).
Here you can find the regular pilkington mirroview at aprox. 20%

Public rooms, with much daylight or brightly lit places I would go with 30-50% light transmission, the drawback is however that you often see the screen behind it really clearly and thus loses much of the magic. But as you have noticed, practically it has to be around 50% to be used in daylight, or as stated above, just as a “hidden” tv. Here you get the mirroview 50/50.

A quck “fix” for low lighttransmission is to bulk up the text and symbols (use bold in a large font), it helps a little.

And when it comes to the reflection % get as high as possible, a normal mirror has about 85-98% reflection. Most two way mirrors has around 60%, often lower. Reflection is oftenly not considered when building a smart mirror, but it should be.

Sweet!

There should be a seasonal module like this, or maybe an extension for the weather apps (snow when the weather says snow and rain, hail, sunny, cloudy etc etc).

Description:

This module caters to you who are running touch mirrors and wants some more information on the headlines without having the description of the headline to be visible the entire time.

When you touch the Headline, a larger Description of the Headline appears. The Description is set on a timer (set by readInterval, standard read time is 15 seconds) OR you can actively touch the description to close it and load the next Headline.

Works otherwise exactly as the default news feed module.

Thanks to @strawberry-3-141 for the help to get me started with this!

add to custom.css

.region.top.left {
z-index: 2;
}
.region.top.right {
z-index: 2;
}

this will force the top left and right region modules to be placed 1 “layer” above the others

Hi, the question has been up before,
So, the touch films/foils available usually doesn’t work with the mirrors out there.

But by accident I noticed that Displax actually sells two way mirrors with a built in touch-layer.

I have no pricing but they probably aren’t cheap.

But atleast there is an option out there.

@CCoates you basically want the same thing as this guy :
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1338/active-notification-from-external-system

@costascontis said in default clock size?:

@broberg thnx mate,but if i use transform: scale all the module goes left and off screen like this:

Ahh, okey

add

transform-origin: top left;

under transform: scale

Or to change font sizes.

.clock .time {
 font-size: 100px;
}

.clock .date {
 font-size: 30px;
}

@illskool Well then. Have this religious countdown module instead!
Guaranteed candle free!

(just made it, but it should work )

If it is photos of glowing text I can probably tell you that it doesn’t look like it in real life, there are many factors to get a certain look.

But if you can show us an example of what color/glow you are looking than maybe we can help you figure out what to do!

Good step to add is to use vinyl something on the backside of the mirror where the screen isn’t visible to remove the light coming through from the back, this will give less distraction and a better reflection so it looks more lika a mirror and less like a tinted glass panel.

@Stoffbeuteluwe

Youcan always try identifying if the element has an assigned name with the inspection/development windows.

In this case the progressbar DIV has a classname (.widgetprogbarbkg)

So to hide it,just set display to none

.MMM-Fitbit2 .widgetprogbarbkg {
	display: none;
}

you can play around with gradient backgrounds

maybe this works (disclaimer : I haven’t tried it, just looked up text fade with css):

.calendar .title:before {
    content:'';
    width:100%;
    height:100%;    
    position:absolute;
    left:0;
    top:0;
    background: linear-gradient(to right, transparent, #000 100%);
}

.mmm-suncalc {
	position: absolute;
	top: 100px;
	left: 30px;
}

@hakansoydogan I do believe the Raspberry pi4 has dual hdmi out, so you can run two monitors with that. Just let the MM2 stretch over both and you can place your modules however you want,

@hango nevertheless, easier to keep things in one thread. That questions is there so one don’t accidentally brings up a dead thread.

Reading this : https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4684/electron-cpu-usage/245

The last post says that the rotation doesn’t work with the drivers that are standard for Rpi 4.

So I would suggest you keep it in landscape mode and rotate it with html/css instead.

@hango Please answer in the question thread instead of creating a new one.

As samson said you are missing a comma after position

But it also likes like you are using a text editor that converts single quotes to smart quotes.

There is a difference between “clock” and "clock".
Use either the Nano text editor if you are working directly on the Pi, if you are working from another pc/mac change your text editor to one that doesn’t convert quotes to smart quotes (like atom, notepad+, sublime or similar)

And, when the value of an variable is a number or true/false you don’t use any quotes at all.

So

{
module: "clock",
position: "top_left",
config: {
   timeFormat:12,  ------------ Pure number, no quotes
   showPeriod:false,   ------------ true or false, no quotes
   displayType:"both",
   analogSize:"400px"
   }
},
