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:

@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.

@dæmoneyes I got the TV for free from Samsung because of a promotion.
Everything else is almost all stuff I was already having apart from the hangers and other minor things.

Let’s say that if I had to buy everything from scratch it would have costed about 600-700 EUR?

Side view is where the LED strip is.
Tell me if you want to see it anyway. 😉

I want to thank @Sean publicly for having helped me privately into solving the issue! :clapping_hands_medium-light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@justjim1220 althought I know ZERO about developing, JSON, CSS & Co. I was doing a quick search on Google about scrolling text stuttering in Electron on slow devices and I found out a suggestion at Stackoverflow.com that actually improved A LOT the overall perfomance of the newsfeed scrolling!

Go open /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker/MMM-NewsFeedTicker and replace

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;

with

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;
  transform: translateZ(0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;

You should notice now an improvement. :upside-down_face:

@s-monti-74 said in MYMIRROR - From Modena:

@richland007 I can’t upload in the editor the full code because the editor blocks it (probably it converts the “;” char as the end of the code) I also can’t upload a txt file witch the code, i can upload only images

You can easily copy&paste everything to pastebin.com then share here the link for others. ;)

@sdetweil done.

@Cr4z33 said in MMM-Spotify:

@ejay-ibm @Sean I noticed only now that if using allowDevices: with the Raspotify device name I can then hear the music, but somehow the module doesn’t ‘wake up’ and keeps showing the Spotify logo only.

Guys any idea why? :grimacing_face:

Also @ejay-ibm maybe it’s because I translated them into Italian, but the commands used with MMM-AssistantMk2 that you posted earlier this week don’t get applied.
Ie. I say the hotword and then ‘next song’ and nothing happens…

Usually GA either executes the command or replies saying he didn’t understand, but not this time… :thinking_face:

@justjim1220 that’s what I already did, but I see you now fixed that. :)

Thanks.

@binog if you don’t want to wait any longer backup your ‘modules’ folder, the config and delete the whole MagicMirror directory.

When you reinstall you will have the latest version (remember to restore then your backups).

@shbatm thank you mate deleting that part made everything work brilliantly!

@epi said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

2. “Feels like”

Indeed comes very handy to me when in Summer.

The weather here is usually very wet and in Summer ie. 35° C give a feeling of 42° C so I wish I could know it before getting out. :sun: :fire:
