I’ve been working on these for a few weeks now. The 7 inch screen is for my Pi server, and the 5inch screen is my bedside clock.

Both screens have brightness controls, and module hiding. The seven inch screen has both a manual screen button for reducing the brightness from 180 to 20, which can override the auto dulling and brightening.

Seven Inch (screen grabs - Full and Night mode)

Seven inch Bright mode

Seven inch in night dull mode( Not as bright as the image in real life. At night, its just bright enough to see the time but not bright enough to light the room. Dimming is the same on both screens)

And in dull mode

Five inch

And night mode

Modules used (and modified)

Thanks

@jolt02 All these weather sites use data from private weather enthusiasts that have varying equipment so the accuracy will never be 100% spot on. Im using data from a Bassendean site which is in the proximity of my place. It is “close” but as there is no official BOM reading for the area, who is to say its wrong. BOM get there Temps for ‘Perth’ from their site at the airport and in the city,

I find a lot of the “Pro” sites like weather channel, Google etc are using data from sites in the northern Hemisphere. This can make it very hard to know what is the correct temp. I have an API from BOM but haven’t figured out the coding as they don;t use Json.

I would like to get data from Windy.com for cloud and wave data but that is expensive

try taking out the Lon And Lat and use a PWS like for me would be… Perth (IPERTH921). This usually happens when the site can’t match a co-ordinate to a location.

I have tried various modules that require Lon and Lat or area and found this happens a lot ‘down under’ as there seems to be less active locations than in the northern hemisphere.

for my mirror I used default weatherforecast and MMM-OpenmapWeather . Both of these use Open Weather map that has locations rather than co-ordinates.

MMM-MyWeather also uses locations (PWS)

@sdetweil Thanks Sam, I was trying with an internal web server first. I will try using the external server instead.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam. Yes I have all that part working can access MM externally. Im planning on running the MM while im travelling and have it displayed on my external website for friends and family to see. But I just cant seen to get the magic mirror to embed in the web pages iframe. I think I have a coding incorrect.

If I can get it working within the PI, I will set the site to run from it

Im currently using the following code with no luck (i’ve removed the size parameteres atm)

<iframe src="192.168.1.200:8080" ></iframe>

Is this idea possible

I have created a MagicMirror that will be housed in my Campervan. It has various weather and GPS and other details . I would like to show this on a page on my website in an iFrame. Like a remote mirror.

Apart from the obvious access permissions which are easy, I tried looking up this but all I get is adding a webpage to the MM not the other way round

Anyone got any ideas if its even possible

Cheers

Here is a great system. Fully automatic and silent(ish) with variable control. Took about 5 minutes to make a small board with the resistors and diode and the code is already done.

Damn Legend. Just what I was looking for for my WiFi Bridge PI 4

@gr1dl0ck that is the 5inch screen using MMM-weatherforecast https://github.com/jharttech/MMM-weatherforecast/blob/master/README.md

which comes with deviant art icons. I reduced the size of the icins to fit the area i had, and saved them in the CSS file as instructed but used different names. then change the MMM-weatherforcast.css file to point to the icos i wanted shown rather than the default selection. Theres quite a few icons to select from in the icon folder of the git file. I just chose the ones i liked the best based on the fortecast

@carltonb the 7inch screen is the raspberry pi unit https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-touch-display/

and the 5 inch is from DFRobot, https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1784.html

i chose both these as they use a flat ribbon cable to hook up instead of HDMI or the GPIO pins

@saabman I did some testing and found a brightness that didnt light up the room but still enabled the display to be seem

The Sun and Moon icons on the left have commands attached to them

| command: “echo 20 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness”, |

I just changed the “echo xxx” number to a value that works for me. I’m using Raspberry screens.
