So after 14 days I was FINALLY able to find a volunteer strong enough to help me hanging this 30 kg 55" smart mirror to the bathroom wall! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

I took inspiration from @spitzlbergerj wonderfull smart mirror and I have to thank him for giving me the Sketchup file and all the informations needed! :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:

The frame is made by beechwood (all the cutting and moulding was made by a carpenter) with specific measures to perfectly contain the LED TV.

The glass has been glued to the frame by using a very special glue called Soudal Fix All High Tack.
Keep it in mind if you want to make a borderless smart mirror as it is very effective.

List of parts:

• Raspberry Pi 3 B+
• 55" Samsung LED TV UE55NU7170
• Beech strips
• Pilkington MirroView glass
• 15W SEBSON Mirror Light LED
• Poly Pool pp2522.2 Spaziozero Socket Rack
• BTicino S3610D/F Connector Adaptor for P 30 and Pin 10 Amp with Lightning Protection
• USB microphone Andoer (I made a hole at the bottom in the center of the frame to fit it)
• 2 x GedoTec Cabinet hanger Cabinet suspension invisible Upper cabinet Buoyancy 130 kg Steel zinc plated for Press-in operation (find in the link also the leftside hanger)
• A bunch of very good & handy WAGO 221-413 ELECTRICAL WIRE BLOCK CONNECTOR STRIP
• A generic 4000K LED strip all around the frame to improve room light

List of 3rd-party modules:

• MMM-AssistantMk2
• MMM-DarkSkyForecast
• MMM-Hotword
• MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify
• MMM-PushBulletNotifications
• MMM-Remote-Control
• MMM-RTSPStream

Some other pics of my mirror:

Special thanks go to (again) @spitzlbergerj , @Sean (especially for custom voice command needs and for initial modules setup), @shbatm for struggling at trying to help me fixing bugs and (my bad) mistakes done by myself (:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:), @evroom and whoever else I forgot to mention (sorry!).

Feel free to ask here, but give me time to answer because I have a quite busy life. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

SketchUp file for the frame:

@jew_lion go for MMM-PushBulletNotifications.

Same features, but perfectly working. ;)

@bleusswissbless lol at the headset with microphone! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Fair enough if it is working as intended.

@justjim1220 thanks didn’t know about that. :)

Will run it as soon as I get home.

@dazza120 yes.

You can read here a very good article about all the good things it can do and how the Pi 4 is performing compared to the previous generation. :)

@justjim1220

OK, thanks.

Update:
When not using a background then overall performance improves! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@dæmoneyes yes correct, but if you aren’t going to do a mirror bigger than let’s say a A4 paper then you can ask Pilkington to send you a free sample.

I did and they sent it without any hassle. 😉

@justjim1220 sorry didn’t read properly your suggestion and missed that forward slash! :smiling_face:

Everything is sorted now thanks again!

@dazza120 oh alright that’s the same solution I used with another board. 👍🏼

@justjim1220 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:

you might have better luck using encoding: "ISO-8859-15" or encoding: "ISO-8859-9"
The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters

I still got some wrong encodings from time to time, but doing a search it came out that Italian users have to use encoding: "ISO-8859-16" instead.

Once again thank you @rkorell and @sdetweil for willing to help me!

Unfortunately real life last minute serious event had to stop me to dedicate to this matter for a long while.

Thank you again @rkorell and @sdetweil for your precious help, but I am at a point where I don’t have enough skill to generate the needed code lines.

What comes afterwards (ie. stop the stream, etc.) is not what worries me hehe, but all I am able to do at today is how to install a module and give it a basic config.

Having two modules to “talk” to each other is another matter and that’s where I start asking for help to people who know what they are doing (I am more a copy&paste or a tutorial follower guy). 😁

Once again this is the RTSP URL:

rtsp://username:password@ipaddress/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1#backchannel=0

and this is the MQTT button press line:

2025-04-16 11:40:58,897 INFO __main__ Publishing MQTT message DahuaVTO/Invite/Event: {'Action': 'Pulse', 'Code': 'Invite', 'Data': {'CallID': '3', 'IsEncryptedStream': False, 'LocaleTime': '2025-04-16 11:40:58', 'LockNum': 2, 'RealUTC': 1744796458, 'SupportPaas': False, 'TCPPort': 37777, 'UTC': 1744800058.0, 'UserID': '101'}, 'Index': 0, 'deviceType': 'DHI-VTO3311Q-WP', 'serialNumber': '*******'}

I tried creating a Home Assistant automation, but it’s probably wrong.

@rkorell hi it’s a good question indeed.

However too bad that I am not skilled enough to know the answer lol that’s why I am posting here asking for help! 😂

Let’s see if @sdetweil or someone else can find out.

@wishmaster270 thanks for spending some time on my issue although you’re busy.
As sdetweil said he’s already helping me into this. 🙂

@sdetweil my bad, my bad and again my bad! 😓

I was going to tryout your method when I realized I actually never checked deeply what was outputting npm start… There’s A LOT of doorbell data being captured by MMM-MQTTbridge indeed! 🤦🏼

You can see here the output.

Can you see at this point (maybe) some additional data that needs to be added to mqttDictionary.js or do you still believe I should go your way (HA, automation, etc.)?

While waiting for your kind reply I will play at trying your method. 😁

@sdetweil hmm I want to give it a try tomorrow morning (GMT+2).

Would you mind if I might contact you by PM just in case? 🥺

@sdetweil and how would I get the broadcasting of the doorbell video feed?

Custom coding?

@sdetweil I see I wish I had the same skills to do ALL by myself lol!

However I wonder if I am the only person in the world having a smart video doorbell and MagicMirror?

I mean I haven’t found any universal solution to this in this forum, but just some modules for certain doorbell hardware like Ring, etc.

@sdetweil said in Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream:

@Cr4z33 something is not sending the mqtt message

bell -> ha automation -> mqtt -> mqttbridge -> rtsp…
should work

for me, this works

alexa-> nodered -> mqtt > ha automation -> mqtt -> mirror_app -> screen off

And you are using this MQTT module on the smart mirror or?

@sdetweil said in Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream:

@Cr4z33 you could build an HA automation to send the MQTT message on button push

But then again nothing would happen.

I mean I’ve already DahuaVTO2MQTT in the middle and I used the right line taken from its console, but here we are. 😅

@sdetweil hmmm I see.

I wonder if there’s actually another way to see the doorbell stream when the button is pressed?

There’s a button sensor entity for it in Home Assistant.
