    • My Kitchencabinet Mirror

      During the time Im in Homeoffice i search the internet about Raspi-Pi Projekts and so i found MagicMirror.

      Im a man, without hair, an not much vain, so i stand not often in front of a mirror 😉
      My small apartment don’t have a big entrance hall and i live alone, so a “Mirror” was not a good choice for me.
      But: I like cooking and Im often in the Kitchen, because it’s the central space in my apartment.
      Thats the reason why the idea of an “Infotainment-Display” in the kitchencabinet was growing up in me.
      There is not much “Wallspace” in a kitchen, so i want to integrated the Touchdisplay
      in the cabinet.
      My good friend is a carpenter, so he would help me.

      This Pictures are from the pre-assemply-phase.
      In a couple of month, when the renovation of my apartment is finish, we will all assemble.
      I show some Pictures when it’s all done!

      Partslist:

      RaspPi 4B 4GB with Rasbian on a 64GB SDCard

      I want a fanless Pi-case, i make good expirience with this:
      Raspi is running at 49-52°C

      Waveshare 15,6" Touchscreen
      https://www.amazon.de/Waveshare-15-6inch-HDMI-LCD-case/dp/B08FCL4HKL/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=HKXJXFX052GR&dchild=1&keywords=waveshare%2B15%2C6&qid=1617263088&sprefix=waveshare%2B15%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-1&th=1

      Modules:

      MMM-Pages
      MMM-Page-Indicator
      MMM-AlexaControl

      Page 1:

      2x Calender
      Weather
      Weatherforcast
      MMM-doomsDay
      MMM-Fritz-Box-Callmonitor
      MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call
      MMM-WifiPassword
      MMM-Touchbutton to go back to the Desktop

      Im a Photographer, i want to show my Pictures, so i install a Slideshow of this in the Background
      MMM-Backgroundslideshow

      Page 2:

      MMM-Woldclock
      MMM-Networkscanner
      MMM-iHaveBeenThere for the animated background image.

      Page 3:

      MMM-Fuel
      4x MMM-SingleStock
      MMM-Globe for the animated background image.

      In the bottom left corner I install a Button (via MMM-Touchbutton) to end the MagicMirror and go back to the Rasbian Desktop
      There i installed a Touchkeyboard (Florence) and thus i have access to the Browser for a quick Internetsearch of recipes or something else.
      To start the MagicMirror again, i have build-in an Desktopicon to startup.

      I dont implementet a MP3-Player or something, because an Echo Dot is nearby and play my Music.

      For changing the pictures or have access over the network a Samba-Server is running.

      Power-Down:
      I like the idea, when Im away the Display go’s off to save energie. I built that with a script who looks every 20 seconds if my mobile is
      connectet to my Wifi. If not, i switch a Wifi-PowerPlug to off. When im back again, to on.

    • RE: Introduce yourself!

      Hi, my name is Torsten, 45, Single, no kids from near Kaiserslautern in Germany. I work as a computer technican for the Gouverment of Transportation.

      I start building my MM in the covid-19 times, as i work in homeoffice and on evenings when its boring, because you can not go out or visiting your friends.

      It was my second project with a Raspi (first was a Pi-hole Ad-filter)and im learning every day things about Linux, Raspi and the MM software. Im not sure, but i belive Im a bit addicted to the RasPi 😉
      I have a litte bit knowledge about html, css and php.

      Im sitting my whole life in front of a PC, so in my age its time to do some other stuff:
      In my free time im intrested about photography and when the weather is nice, i ride my motorcycle.

      Great community here and i look forward what nice and fresh ideas are growing up here.

    • RE: Is it possible to change the CSS layout at a certain time? (Dark Mode)

      @mopedmann

      Its not that hard as it seems.

      A handfull of code that you have to write.

      A good task to learn a bit about bash programming under linux.

      Try the fist step, it would be helpful for the future…

    • RE: My Kitchencabinet Mirror

      Hi,

      hmm yes, maybe there are some litte problems with the MMM-Globe module.

      In my case I have the Pi4 4GB Model, runs stable, but somehow with the time the swap-space going more full and fuller and when its reached the limit (in my case 512mb) the Pi will go very slow.
      After a reboot everything goes allright and workes well…
      With the rest of the memory, i have no trouble:

      Free Ram = 25-30%, without the module round 44%

      Maybe it is better to run in production the 8Gb Model?

      My temperature is around 50-54° C with the fanless case.

      Without the globe modul around 48°C

      I change the name from “Network” to “WLAN- Gastzugang”.

    • RE: Is it possible to change the CSS layout at a certain time? (Dark Mode)

      Hi

      maybe it is possible to write a script that rename the used .css in another filename (from custom.css to Custom.1) an after that, rename an other .css to custom.css. Packed this in an cronjob an you have a change of the .css files. After the rename routine restart the mirror…

      Not the elegant way, but it can work’s.

      Another Idea: Is ist possible to dimm the Display via a cronjob ?

    • RE: My Kitchencabinet Mirror

      Hi,

      uhhh yes… sorry, how stupid from me…

      I switch the display an and off with the WIFI-Powerplug.

      There a many ways to fullfill somebodys needs. For me the Wifi-Plug and the small script was ein easy way to deploy that. The goal was to switch the Display complete powerless to save energie.
      Not only switch the display to dark or switch of the HDMI-Port.
      It works very good and im happy with that solution.

      Hi OberfragGer

      Yes i know, but now it is set and good 😉

      In a couple of month i renovate my apartment including the kitchen, entrance hall and living room,
      so i want to hide the wire. Maybe i set a new powerwallplug behind or above the cabinet.

      But for me it is ok. Thank you for your hints.

      HI

      im running a Raspi 4B 8GB with Raspian Buster.

      Maybe there is an other Issue with the modul: sometimes the screensaver comes up and lock the screen with a password prompt?

      Hi

    • MMM-Carousel Hide Mousecursor

      Hi,

      it is possible to hide the Mousecursor when the MMM-Carousel is installed?

      i changed from MMM-Pages + Page Indicator to MMM-Carousel because its faster and works a little bit better for me. But after the change there is a littel hand as a mousecursor? I want to hide oder remove this. The courser is only displayed when i use the Pageinationbuttons or the Slidebuttons from the MMM-Carousel modul?
