@thedoorsfanatic Come on, don’t be so humble!

@thedoorsfanatic that look great!
BTW, I live close to Munich, too

But if you make money of your mirrors you should consider at least donating some money to the project :

I second this

@bachoo786 Well, I think a LED TV instead a VA monitor could be an equally good choice.
I have here on my desk an elder Samsung 22" LED TV, which I use a a second monitor and for development of my MM setup. The contrast is great and I had this monitor used for my MM. But I decided to keep it, due to the TV function.

Maybe you checkout this recent thread, where the TV option was discussed, too?

@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, this is the MMM-Podcast2 module, which loads the “Tagesschau in 100 Sek.” video podcast and displays it via the omxplayer. So it displays a video, but it is no live TV stream.
You also need to have MMM-Buttons and MMM-Remote-Control installed to use it. Standalone the module will not work.

Note: the video is not running inside the electron wrapper, but is overlayed over the desktop.

@ttarzan thanks a lot!
The sound comes from the speakers which where already built in the monitor. So I had not to deal with additional speakers and cableing. The audio output goes over HDMI right into the monitor.

To be honest, don‘t expect a spectacular sound, as these are tiny 2W speakers and provide no bass. But they serve the purpose.

@Mykle1 That’s fine! I might need a helping hand

I’d also add MMM-Page-Selector as another option.

@bachoo786 thanks for the compliments!
The IPS panes are more expensive and have certainly a somewhat better contrast compared to VA panels. But as the panels are built behind a refelctive surface (=mirror) at the end, that difference in contrast probably won’t be recognizable and won’t justify the higher expense for the IPS panel. I was quite lucky to get the VA panel in 24" for a very good price on ebay. Otherwise I would have taken a “normal” TN panel like many, many others. If you can get a VA panel for a good price then take it, and save the money you’d spend for an IPS.

Since I “released” my V1.0 of my MM, I spent it a few new modules, dropped others, made some refinements and optimizations and replaced the ugly PIR sensor with a microwave sensor.
Since last week I am drafting the v2.0 which won’t be another mirror, but a significant upgrade of my existing one. I’ll keep the mirror and the panel, but will modify the frame. Currently, I don’t want to disclose too much, as I am still evaluating various options and feasability. And finally, it should be also a little surprise for the community

@broberg Thanks for that info! I’ve been already tempted to give that a try in a future upgrade.
