    • RE: MMM-Sonos by CFenner and Sonos API problems

      @ShoeBox you just install it like any other module with

      git clone 
      

      followed by the link to the git repo.

      It is independent from the „stem“ it is forked from.

      Oh, and rename or delete the previous module as the names are identical.

      @ShoeBox There is a fork of the above metioned module that supports apparently album covers, too.

    • RE: Door sensors...

      @Egnos Well, I find the price is reasonable. At the time we built our house (4 years ago) sensors and actors for HomeKit accessories were not available, except for switching some outlets or similar. We wanted to retrofit a wireless home automation system, which works reliable and is flexible. Thus, the decision fell on Homematic. There are a few good platforms (open source) to combine various systems with each other, e.g. ioBroker (which I use) or openHub.

      And yes, MMM-Homematic is the module I have on the mirror.

    • RE: Door sensors...

      @Egnos I have the Homematic system running which allows not only to check various sensors for doors, windows, temperatures, etc. but to control also actors for lights, shutters, blinds, heating valves and so on. It works really reliable and stable for 3 years now.

      … (and most likely last) part of my Magic Mirror adventures!
      No, I doubt!:smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

      The cooling system is quite interesting!

    • RE: My New Magic Mirror Project.

      @TheMysticle Thanks for the entertaining video on how you built your mirror! It looks great! I’m also happy to see here other 3D priniting enthusiasts :-).
      One upgrade I’d suggest is a proximity sensensor, that turns on the screen when you stand in front of it. Either a via Doppler sensor (see my signature) or a PIR sensor. Another upgrade might be a gesture sensor. As you’re into 3D printing and modelling, you’ll easily find a solution to place the sensor.
      BTW, could you please post which microphone you built in? I’m just curious because I’ve tried a few and none was sensitive enough to pick up my voice.

    • RE: {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App)

      @FREIGHTTRAIN Can you elaborate more precisely, what is not working? What have you done? What is the expected behaviour? How does it behave? How to reproduce? That might help in helping you.

    • RE: MM 3d Print

      @ChrissyT finding a certain item on thingiverse is in my humble opinion a …well…rather challenging task, to phrase it positively, as thingiverse became a real mess. What I can‘t imagine is, that there is something where then the magic happens and is able to orient the stl object correctly for my specific print bed, apply the right slicing parameters (resolution, bed adhesion, supports, etc. ), and finally send it to Octoprint. Wishes to the universe.

      @cyberphox you hook it directly to the GPIO, no Arduino needed. I‘ll post the pinning later as I am on mobile now.

    • A whole lot upgrades to my MagicMirror, finally!

      Dear fellows,

      some time has passed by since I’ve worked on my MagicMirror v1.0, because personal and professional things had to be prioritezed. But never the less, I continued to upgrade my MM to v2.0 and I am happy to present you my results today!

      The major upgrade concerns the frame itself. As much as I like the simplistic RIBBA design with the narrow borders, it has a few drawbacks when it comes to adding sensors, which cannot be mounted properly behind glass or just don’t work there. This is true e.g. for the Grove gesture sensor, which needs a free sight to trigger it.

      Further, I thought of some LED strips and wanted to make some space inside the frame and to relocate the RCWL-516 Doppler sensor. Although it works flawlessly behind glass, I didn’t like the position it was mounted to.
      So I decided to add covers on the top and the bottom of the frame which should enclose the gesture and Doppler sensors neatly.

      But the question was, what design should the covers have, what material and how to accomplish the needed cut out for the gesture sensor?
      After quite some research, I concluded to manufacture them myself - as 3D printed parts. To keep it short: I bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D printer for Christmas and started learning how to print things (…but this is a totally different story…).
      Since my print bed is not large enough I had to divide the covers into three equally long pieces and print them separately. To hide the cut edges I printed additionally some T-shaped covers and glued them over the edges.

      Last but not least I added an SD card extension to the RPi, which I mounted behind the lower cover. That way, I can easily access the SD card for e.g. backups without hanging the whole mirror up and down every time.
      IMG_8069.jpg

      Everything is now there where and how it should be, but I currently postponed the LED stuff to a later point in time.

      What I really love is the gesture sensor! It recognizes 9 different gestures and with the MMM-GroveGestures module you can configure various actions to be excecuted.
      For example, I now can do a swipe gesture to the left to switch to the next page or to the right to the previous page. Alternatively I could ask Alexa to do so, too, but I prefer the gestures. Another use case is when I want start (or stop) the Tagesschau 100 sek. video podcast (german news flash). I simply do a clockwise gesture and the video starts playing (…or stops, of course). There are certainly plenty of more options I could do, but for now its sufficient for my needs…any ideas are of course welcome.

      While I mainly just rearranged the position of a few modules on the first page and added the MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE module, I added a dedicated page which displays the status of a few of my Homematic, Netatmo and Philips Hue components and the RPi status. A third page provides a live video stream from the web cam I mounted to my 3D printer to check my prints remotely :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

      If you want to print the covers or adopt them to your own RIBBA frame, I uploaded the stl and f3d files to thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4263344) to your convenience.
      In that course, I also found a neat mount for the Echo Dot to mount it properly inside the frame.

    • RE: Use the voice to select the page but...wich module??

      @Egnos I went the easy route with installing MMM-AlexaControl MMM-AlexaControl and mounting an Echo Dot behind the mirror. The major challange for me was to find a reasonable mic for speech recognition. So I gave it up and took what was already available. For changing the pages I have MMM-Pages installed.
