@fribse I’m going to try with foil, you know, the kind for windows. It should be doable, and get a good result without bubbles, I’ve done that for our frontdoor, It’s going to be tricky, but if it succeeds, it should be good.

RE: What's the best way to block out area of mirror that doesn't have a monitor behind it?
@Fozi Hi there, my hope was that I could make this somewhat frameless, because the mirror by nature is going to be rather fat, it might look less dominating if its frameless. So there is nothing ‘behind’ the mirror to hold the paper.

What's the best way to block out area of mirror that doesn't have a monitor behind it?
The mirror I have is bigget than the monitor, so I need to block out part of the mirror, so it isnt transparent.
I was thinking of using some black spraypaint, but anybody that can recommend a good product?
I can’t use black paper or something like that.I’m also going to mount LED-light strips besides the monitor, so that it will light the object in front up from behind the mirror.
Therefore I was thinking that a good paint for it would be good? -
RE: MMM-MQTTbridge
Hi @Serge
I’ve finally received the mirror itself, so now the MagicMirror is finally getting finished.
One of the things was to update the MM itself, as well as a few modules (screencast).
After doing that, I don’t see any mqtt status messages going out, and it doesn’t react on incoming either.
I’ve checked the username/password, still correct, and the IP hasn’t changed either? -
RE: I've finally gotten the mirror, now how do I mount it?
@sdetweil Ok, well I was thinking at first I would glue it, but I’ll get those small mirror brackets that just holds the edges.
Is there a good kind of paint for the backside of it? -

@uros76 Chris told me that the side with the protective film on is the ‘outside’ of the mirror.

I've finally gotten the mirror, now how do I mount it?
So the mirror has finally arrived, I’ve built the frame some time ago, and not the mirror is here, I’m trying to figure out the right way to mount it.
I wanted it to be ‘frameless’, but how do I ‘black out’ the area outside the monitor, paint it with something? And if I do that, how do I fasten it to the frame, so the glue isn’t visible through the mirror? Or should I abandon the complately frameless idea, and mount small holders for the mirror?I’m also considering changing the monitor, it’s currently a monitor from a stationary computer, and I’ve gotten a panel from a laptop lying around now, but I guess I have to find out how much light the two generate to choose the right one.

@Ivanov_d Mine arrived in one piece, though I never got a notification from the danish postal system, so I had to find it through customer service, that couldn’t give me a danish tracking number, but fortunately the guy at the post office was a bright kid, that could find it from the description with ‘fragile’ and ‘glass’ written all over it.

No problem, a week more or less of the 9 months won’t change much :-)

RE: MMM-MQTTbridge
Hi @Serge , I found one thing missing from the noti->mqtt, the QOS is not settable.
I can see that you send them with qos:0, it should be settable to 0,1 or 2 as to how much guarantee for delivery it’s supposed to get.
Other than that, it’s working perfectly, even via Google Home to turn the screen on and off (via the switch in Home Assistant) -
RE: MMM-MQTTbridge
@Serge Yes, I did most of this already, I used the MMM-ViewNotifications to monitor which notifications was sent, and added all those I am not interested in :-)
Thankyou for the followup. -
RE: Help with MMM-ModuleSchedule to turn off monitor
go to you ‘magicmirror’ folder, then to modules, and then to the MMM-Remote-Control folder and run ‘npm install’, I think you forgot that.

RE: MMM-MQTTbridge
Darned, I just found the problem.
I had this in the mqttdictionary:
var mqttHook = [ { mqttPayload: "TURN_OFF_SCREEN", mqttNotiCmd: ["MONITOROFF"] },But I was sending a MQTT message with ‘MONITOROFF’, if I send ‘TURN_OFF_SCREEN’ it works perfectly :-)
Thankyou @Serge and @Bugsounet for this GREAT module, just the missing piece.
Now I have to figure out about the noti->mqtt thing, I can see that the monitor status is reported in the log, but I can’t see what ‘notification’ is sent…P.S. the logfile looks a bit weird:
0|mm | [MQTT bridge] MQTT message received. Topic: cmnd/bathroom/mirror, message: MONITORON 0|mm | [MQTT bridge] MQTT -> NOTI issued: REMOTE_ACTION, payload: **[object Object]**But it works…

RE: Problem with the calendar module in Danish
@Sean Gotcha, thankyou for clearing it up.
So now @fmandal just needs to modify the files to reflect on da instead of dk :-) -
RE: Problem with the calendar module in Danish
@fribse Ok, I modified the MMM-YrThen.js so it checks for the language code da instead of dk, then it’s shown correctly, but which is it, is it da or dk for danish in MagicMirror, usually it’s da but who knows here?

Problem with the calendar module in Danish
Hi All
I’m looking into the magic mirror again, now that the mirror piece is getting closer to being ordered.
I just noticed that my language code in the config was set to da for danish, but it should be dk according to the yrthen module.
But if I set the language code in the config to dk, the calendar will not load, it just shows loading, the YrThen module shows danish though.
If I set it to da, the calendar is showing the right language, but then the weather is showing norwegian instead.So what is the correct language code, is it the YrThen module that is wrong?
