Have you disabled any other modules to make sure there isn’t a conflict with one? I ran into the issue with the MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module (see pr for fix: https://github.com/vicmora/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic/pull/24). Before applying that fix I was getting the box, but no video. Also had issues with other modules loading.

Electrical plug installed, used a usb charger plug to save space, the Hubbel brand has a 3.8 amp version, which resolves the lightning bolt from displaying.

BTW, the gesture sensor didn’t work behind the wood panel. I’m guessing that the waveform is getting absorbed by the wood even with the through hole for the sensor. I’ll work on 3d printing a coer and mounting it on the bottom instead.

Do you have an entry in your config for dtoverlay?

#Enable the Open GL driver to decrease Electron’s CPU usage
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

if so, look in the following file for a rotate entry. It and the rotate added to config.txt may be conflicting.
~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

#to rotate display, to rotate left, use left.
@xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Thank you all.

great job. What kind of camera and motion sensor do u use?

thanks

The camera is this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N2TRRR

The motion sensors are connected to my smartthings hub, I think they are the iris zigbee motion sensors. I documented the configuration here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11065/using-smartthings-motion-sensor-to-turn-on-off-monitor

We recently installed a new front door which has all frosted glass. My wife was wanting a way to see who is at the door before answering it. After doing some googling I happened to come across this site. After a couple of weeks playing with the software, working out a few bugs, and testing camera setups, I’ve come up with something we’re both happy with.

For my project I’m using the following modules
clock
calendar_monthly
holidays
compliments
weather
MMM-RTSPstream
MMM-CalendarWeek
MMM-BackgroundSlideshow
MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
MMM-GroveGestures
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-pages
MMM-Pollen
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Trello

The case I designed to match an existing table in our hallway. The drawer face is false and covers the pi and electrical plug, which I’m in the process of wiring, but no wiring will show. The drawer panel also has a small hole for the gesture sensor, which I’m using to navigate pages mostly.

I’ve got a Smartthings hub and several motion sensors throughout the house. I’m using the sensors to toggle the monitor on/off as we enter/leave the room.

I’ve added some shadow boxes to all the modules to make them easier to see against the background images.

Just a heads up for anyone that uses the MMM-RTSPstream module, and in my case, with MMM-Remote-control. I’m also using the develop branch of the module. When I put my screen to sleep the omx_stream1 pm2 task wasn’t restarting. Turns out there was a typo in one of the variable names which fixed the issue.

See the bug report here: https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream/issues/52

Great looking booth/equipment. It’s been a few years since I closed my booth business, it’s interesting to see the changes in booth styles and equipment used.

I didn’t find any modules for sleepIQ yet via search. I’m currently working on a couple of other projects and came across a JS library on DeeeeLAN’s github project (https://github.com/DeeeeLAN/homebridge-sleepiq/blob/master/API.js) that looks promising for basing a module off of. It happens to have a couple of functions for returning sleep data, which might make a nice graph. Once I get the other projects done, I’ll look more into this, but wondered if there was any interest here?

I’ve got mine in a full aluminum/heatsink case, seems to be staying cool now… https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3S1WBP

I’m new to MM and currently working on a SmartThings module, but this is one of my next attempts. I’ve used another project that uses the Sense-Energy-Node (https://www.npmjs.com/package/sense-energy-node) library to retrieve data from Sense.

I’m not sure it can get energy usage, so also considering this library, which does show some energy reports: https://github.com/blandman/unofficial-sense

When working in the IDE, remember that there are locations, usually a TestHub and Home, I have an additional smartthings in my shop, so you need to select the correct location before creating new device handlers and smart apps.

I’d start with deviceHandlers. I typically find the code on github for the device I’m looking to implement a handler for, then on the API IDE I’ll create the new handler from code (see: https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/blogs/the-smartest-blog/how-to-install-a-custom-device-handler-in-smartthings). Once you’ve published the handler for yourself, you can either setup a new device or if you want to modify a device (such as changing a door sensor, that has wire contacts, to act as a smoke alarm) you update it’s Type field to be the new handler. In your mobile app. you should see it change from a door sensor to a smoke sensor.

There are handlers that work in conjunction with smart apps also. Typically I copy the code for the new smart app the same way, and publish them to work for myself.

So as far as writing my first MM module, I was looking at this node library (https://github.com/hijha/smartthings-node) to act as the client for getting device data from ST. It requires a key to be generated. That key you will generate from the token generation page here: https://account.smartthings.com/tokens

I was hoping to get this created this weekend and play with it, but life got in the way, so hopefully I’ll get something working this week.

Yeah, The framework of it can get confusing. From what I’ve gathered you make requests for devices based on their capabilities (i.e. presenceSensor, lock, switch, temperature sensor, etc). Or if you have the device, you can then list what its capable of and get variables of those properties.

I recently setup my first MM and wanted to use the existing motion sensors in my house to turn on/off the screen. I was able to do this using my Smartthings hub using a device handler and app, and the MMM-Remote-Control module. I can add more detail to this if anyone is interested, just let me know, but here is the 10,000 foot view

First I setup the MMM-Remote-Control module, which has api urls to call for turning the monitor on and off.

The device handler is the URI Switch (https://community.smartthings.com/t/beta-release-uri-switch-device-handler-for-controlling-items-via-http-calls/37842), which you provide the urls to use for each function (on/off). Using the Smarthings Groovy IDE (https://graph.api.smartthings.com/) install the device handler. Next create a new virtual switch and choose the URI Switch device handler for it. On the mobile app, find your new device and update its settings with the ip address, port, and on/off urls for your MM.

Lastly I used the SmartThings Smart Lighting app (part of the classic Smartthings mobile app) to setup a new lighting routine. I chose the motion sensor for the room my MM is hung in, then chose the virtual switch you created above. You can then set the options to turn off the virtual switch after x number of minutes of no motion.

I actually have 3 motions sensors set to turn on the monitor so that it is displaying by the time we walk to that room from the adjoining rooms.

I’m currently setting up my MM and was looking for a smartthings module, looks like there is MQTT module, but I’d like to hit the api directly. I saw there is a nodejs sdk (https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/docs/tools/sdks.html). I’m new to node, so not sure I’ll be of much help, but what are you looking to do.

I found the issue was a conflict between MMM-RTSPstream and the Google Traffic maps module as reported here: https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream/issues/33

I haven’t had a chance to try the fix, have just disabled the maps module for now. However, the video is now displaying. Now if I can just get those 12 hours back used I OCD’ing over this. :-)

I assume you’re talking about the black border around the display, it’s usually caused by the overscan setting being on…

I’m running on a $80 black friday deal Acer monitor. IPS would give you a wider view of the monitor, but where mine is located I’m looking at it pretty straight on. I’m building a full frame to go around mine, so just leaving the plastic housing on it, but I know a lot of folks like to remove the plastic to slim it down.

I spent a little more on a new case for the pi as it was running pretty warm, I went with a full heat sink aluminum case (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3S1WBP) which has helped a lot.

I’ve followed instructions from the readme. I get a rectangle for the video on MM ,but never get the rtsp stream to load.

I’ve ran omxplayer from the command line and the stream displays fine in its window.

Is there a log somewhere that may give me an idea of what may be the issue?
