    • Fun for halloween

      So we have our Magic Mirror set up in the bathroom.
      At halloween it is going to show an extra surprise.

      We control everything here with Home Assistant, so 15s after the light is turned on in the bathroom, the light will go out, some will start flickering, and the buttons for controlling the light will not work.

      This is how it’s going to look like:

    • RE: I would love to show the finished mirror, but I'm waiting for the glass :-) This is the project so far...

      So it’s assembled, just need to protect the wood from moisture.

      The ‘behind the mirror’ lights are working nicely, it’s based on WLED, the LED’s inside are SK6812, so it has very nice white, as well as RGB.
      And then I off course need to polish the mirror :-)
      It’s going to be set up before halloween, and I already have videos of ghosts ready and tested ;-)

    • I would love to show the finished mirror, but I'm waiting for the glass :-) This is the project so far...

      So far the frame is built, with the monitor mounted (19" LG). It has a 12V PSU, with a buckconverter for the RPi3, and a USB hub for the USB soundcard (and also gives the possibility of adding a USB keyboard to it without twisting fingers.
      The reason for the 12V PSU is that I’m awaiting delivery of my 2x10W speakers, and a stereo 15" amplifier that will be added to the mirror as well.

    • RE: What's the best way to block out area of mirror that doesn't have a monitor behind it?

      I sent the oracal back (very expensive stuff) as I could get much cheaper and darker stuff from our local hardware store.
      So I got the back covered with it, and then cut holes in it for the LED lights and monitor, it seems to work very well.

    • Now I'm getting somewhere, HA turns screen on and off :-)

      Ok, finally I found the right module. So the remote module in MagicMirror (MMM-Remote-Control), and then ‘rest_command:’ setup in HA.
      That way the motionsensor can turn the screen on and off in the mirror. For now I’ve made it simple with just defining four commands, two for on / off and two for dim / undim. And then just use those services in HA automations.
      Works perfectly.
      Now I need to turn some modules on and off depending on the time of day.

      The HA commands:

      rest_command:
        turn_off_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/off
        turn_on_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/on
        dim_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/75
        undim_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/100
      

      One of the automations (at night)

      - id: '1557033756115'
        alias: Turn on bathroom light at night
        trigger:
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.bathroom_movement
          from: 'off'
          platform: state
          to: 'on'
        condition:
        - after: '23:00'
          before: '7:59'
          condition: time
        - condition: state
          entity_id: light.spejl
          state: 'off'
        action:
        - data:
            brightness_pct: 10
            entity_id: light.spejl
          service: light.turn_on
        - data: {}
          service: rest_command.turn_on_mm_screen
        - data: {}
          service: rest_command.undim_mm_screen
      

      Next step would be to modify rest_command so that I don’t have one for each action, but send a payload that is modified to the command that I want.

    • RE: I would love to show the finished mirror, but I'm waiting for the glass :-) This is the project so far...

      So, things are shaping up, I’ve gotten the mirror rebuilt, I had to swap the monitor, it was getting too hot.
      The new one is much cooler.
      I also got the lights mounted, it’s a mixture of fun and serious, it will give light for usage, but it’s also RGB, so it can do effects if we want to :-)
      This image shows the lights turned to it’s lowest (apart from being off, of course. The foil is still on, until I get the mirror properly fixed to the frame, it has the foil on.

    • RE: Home Assistant Toggle?

      @bendonahue I’ve set it up here with MQTT.
      I wrote a small guide on the HA forum:

    • RE: I can't get mmm-screencast to work

      @JerryP said in I can't get mmm-screencast to work:

      nam install

      Is that a new command? :-D

      I got it through the ‘community order’ on this page.
      The reflectance is very good, it’s a real mirror.
      My only problem with it, is that the chroma of it is a bit brown, so it requires quite a lot of light in the room.
