Ok, but a PCAP Touchfoil under the glass, mounted between a LED display and the Mirroview, will work for sure (asked Pilkington and the company selling the foil).

Best regards

Hi,

thank you very much for your replies.

An IR touch overlay is unfortunately not possible in my case. The mirror is frameless and clamped in 4 holders (2 above and 2 at the bottom). That’s why i am looking for a touch display which can be mounted under the glass.

Best regards

Hello all,

I am planning to build a new Magic Mirror, this time with touch function.

As mirror glass I use a Pilkington Mirrorview, which according to the manufacturer is suitable for touch functions (capacitive).

Now I have the question how to realize the touch function of the display behind it. I had already thought about using a PCAP touch foil, which is mounted between the Mirrorview and the LCD display. According to the manufacturer, this would work, but it is very expensive.

A cheaper alternative would be a touch screen display that is as flat as possible.
Important would be the size:

My mirror measures 44 cm x 50 cm (width x height). I.e. the display must not be too large, 17.3" maximum 18.4".

Can you recommend a suitable display that is as flat as possible and not too heavy? Would such a display be suitable, for example?

Hi all,

just re-installed my Magic Mirror and I wanted to use my sensor for monitoring room temperature again.

I installed the MMM-temp-ds18b20 module. All went fine during installation, but when I edited my config and started my Magic mirror (via PM2 command), the screen just stays black (but I can see my mouse cursor). So probably, something went wrong by loading this module. Removing the module from the config and everything is okay.

Additional information: By using the command (ls /sys/bus/w1/devices) I can find my sensor, which is correctly attached to my Pi3B+ and I can read the temperature. But I realized that my sensor ID does not start with 28-XXX but rather 10-XXX.

Therefore, I edited my config like this:

modules: [
{
module: ‘MMM-temp-ds18b20’,
position: ‘top_right’,
header: ‘Temperature sensors’,
config: {
refreshInterval: 10, // in seconds
displayMode: ‘x-stack’,
sensors:[
{
id: “10-xxxxxxxxxx”,
label: “inside”
}
]
}
},
]

So maybe you can help with the issue that the screen stays black.

Thank you very much!

Best regards!

Hi all,

I successfully installed my magic mirror a long time ago.

Unfortunately - probably due to cleaning - there are some mini scratches now at some spots on the glass surface (although I used a microfiber cloth). They are only visible when using bright backgounds on the laptop LED screen which is attached behind the mirror glass.

Do you have any idea - apart from using dark backgrounds - how to solve these issues?
Is there any protective foil for example which can be attached to the glass surface, to hide the scratches and to protect the screen? Any experience with scratches?

Thanks!

Best regards!

Hi sdetweil,

thank you very much - I will give it a try!

Hi,

I´m planning to modify my MM to an “Apple mirror” using a Mac Mini.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to setup MM2 on a Mac Mini - I did run MM on a RPi3 before folowing the installation described in the documentation for RPi so that was not a problem.

Has anybody here successfully run MM2 (current version) on a Mac/Mac Mini and can tell me step by step how to setup and get it running? This would be great!

Thanks !!

Beste regards!

Hi,

@idoodler thanks for your help, I will try it!

@Mykle1 I know that CBD is currently working on an update for this module and I understand that this is very time consuming. I think I will wait for the new version :)
With regard to CBD question: I wrote him (see my prevoius post) that I am using the latest version of this module (V 2.1.7).

@core said in MMM-NOAA:

Thanks all for your help!

@idoodler I deleted MMM-Fuel from my config.js. Nothing changed, the other modules mentioned before won‘t work…this seems to be a problem with MMM-NOAA „blocking“ other modules.

@cowboysdude I run the latest version, even tried a re-installation. I adjusted the config to the current version, i.e only using apiKey and airKey as shwon in the readme.

Any more ideas…?

Best regards!

Ok i tried another weather module instead of mmm–noaa.
Everything is on screen and works perfectly.
So (in my case) mmm–noaa causes the problems.

Anyway I would like to stick to mmm–noaa for its better visualization and tools.
I appreciate any help and solutions.

Thanks!
