All together wraped in:

For the power connection from the Pi to the powerstrip:

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07WFM84X9/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the Pi is direct plug into the USB-Ports of the Powerstrip, so i dont need a another power adapter for the Pi. The Poweradapter in the Picture is to power up the Display.

I need another adapter for the PowerConnection for the display.
The L connector does not fit well at his angle, so I order one that is more straight.

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.

Greetings Torsten

Hi @fozi, thank you so much!

Definitely i reported here, when it’s finished.

Have anybody more ideas what I can implemented? Write me your ideas, maybe i build it up.

Greetings Torsten

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

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.

Yes, that would be nice.

Here is a solution, but i don’t want to use the IFTTT service.

@mopedmann

Hi, the Css-Switcher is really the more comfortable way to do the change!

but, you don’t learn the basics of coding ;-)

Anyway, good to hear that it works in both ways.

Greetings Foxy

@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…

Greetings Torsten

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 ?

Hi

i have the same problem like @MrCoffee.

I want do display the whole Map, but i can not figure out how it works:

zoomLevel: “0.8”,
zoomLongitude: “50”,
zoomLatitude: “50”,

are the best seetings i figure out.

In the MMMihavebeenthere.js under:

wrapper.style.width = “3840px”;
wrapper.style.height = “2160px”;

i set the resoultion of the TV to 4k so the Map fit*s the screen

But it fit’s not 100% right.

I play around more the 1 hour withe the settings in the config.js
and can not finde better seetings.

Have anyone a idea to fix this and become a 100% view?

Greetings Foxy

Hi,
First: everything works well, but i have some question about the devicefilter:

What do I have to register exactly there?

The Telephonnumber? The name of the “device”? The “intern number”?

I know that this works like:
the “devicefilter entry” filters, the incoming calls for this phonenumber, out.

In my case we have 3 DECT-Phones and i want display only one from this devices on the MM-Screen when the call come in.

Thank you all for your Support.

Hi,

i use the command in the styles.css of the modul, not in the custom.css.

It works, but it makes the complete module invisible, not only the background behind the globe.

Thank you for your support.

Hi,
I have a question about the module:

I would like to make the background transparent, is that possible? At the moment it is black.

That would help me, because I have a slideshow running in the background and the black background behind the globe doesn’t look so nice …

Would be very grateful if someone could help.
