Cool.

Question, what is the mirror made of? acrylic or glass?

2. Can you do a custom frame? I don’t really need anything else other than the frame cause I have no experience in wood working. would be 18" x 24"

Get a cana kit. will include most of waht you need and has a very good quick setup guide to get you up an running

Is there a way to unlink this from my personal google account info?

Ie when I ask to show me photos of dogs…it actually goes through MY google photos account and shows photos of my dog.

@jonspraggins said in First Attempt, Still a work in progress:

@dxfan227,
The Mirror is from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSAZ3PN

The Module is located here: https://github.com/sathyarajv/MMM-OpenmapWeather

My sanitized config for the openweathermap module:

{
                        module: 'MMM-OpenmapWeather',
                        position: 'top_right',
                        header: 'XXXXX',
                        config: {
                                location: 'XXXXX',
                                locationID: 'XXXXX', //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
                                appid: 'XXXXX', //openweathermap.org API key
                                units: 'imperial',
                                degreeLabel: 'true',
                                colorIcon: 'true',
                                onlyTemp: 'true'
                        }
                },

I did a quick writeup (that I will improve on soon) here: https://jonspraggins.com/the-idiot-made-a-smart-mirror/

Thanks I’ll take a look, how do you like the mirror quality also transparency…is it good? do you see to much of the backlight etc…

Also how did you like endgame? I saw it last night, I won’t post any spoilers here obv but I thought it was pretty good…a little slow to start though.

trying to use a variant of this module…my camera works fine and the module works fine…bt after aout 10 min…the camera turns off ( still has power but stops recieveing video)

@Davido

Thanks, i did find a solution. For some reason the HOTWORD RESUME notification was not working. I had to “hard code” it into the .js file itself for the module. It is now working.

looks good,

can I ask what kind of mirror

also what is the weather module u are using?

would love to know this swell.

I think it’s called a pull request, then the owner of the repo can review and decide to merge or not. I could be wrong though

@sdetweil Ok

Perhapes the config is missing the part I bolded here? :

modules: [

{
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
config: {
position: ‘right’,
apiKey: ’ ’

},
]

is an api key required to run properly?

I would def go for a large seamless mirror. I’m not sure on costs but you will want to make sure you use good quality material, this sounds like a “real” home project…not some toy/tinkering project. Don’t cheap out and use acrylic with film and such…you will be using this mirror everyday.

Serviceability wise…that will be tough, unless the monitor or HDMI dies I don’t see you needing to get to the display itself very often if ever. For software you can of course login via ssh/vnc and make all the changes you need to from a remote machine. If there is any way to keep the raspberry pi itself “out” of the mirror ( maybe cut out a small nook with a hinge door and route the cable behind the wall? That will make accessing it a lot easier without having to take down the mirror.

Finally don’t forget to take moisture into consideration if this is going to go in a bathroom!

interesting as I have a 300 dollar credit not 200 and it looks like its for the entire year!

I don’t see why it would be any different from your rpi

2. I would like the text that says " Dr.Baqui" to be lined up on the left hand side. It is the stock calendar and I have tried a few things but can’t get it working. when I tried Float: left in the css it did pull it to the left but now the time of the event isn’t on the right side it’s in the middle.

good work on the module. I can’t use it as my mirror has no touch input available. Was wondering if there is any way to pipe into find my friends…(prob not knowing apple)

@sdetweil yah I really want to get this to work. Very frustrating.

@sdetweil

Is there any work around for this? I’m almost done with my mirror! Lol

@sdetweil

I will look into this. Do you think it’s an issue with the module or with the pi entering some kind of weird sleep state due to lack of signal for so long?

As I mentioned the commands that the module sends to sleep and wake both work properly with my display it’s just when there is a prolonged no signal that it won’t ever wake up.

I have this module up and running but it seems to " time out" after a bit. When I try and wake the machine in the morning it doesn’t work…even turning on the monitor manually…all I see is no signal and I cannot get the screen to work even after mouse/keyboard input.

The pi is still on, accessible via ssh, anyone have any ideas?

I use mmm-google route and while It should be sufficient under the free credit they give you . I was alarmed to find my actual usage much higher than I thought ( something like 500 requests in a few days) I use mmm-schedular to have the google module refreshed more frequently in the morning ( when I would be looking at it most likely) than in the afternoon and evening ( when I am usually not even in the house)

hope that helps
