I haven’t yet, I have used the film on glass for my first mirror project. The main problem is you have to use soapy water (spray) to apply the film to make sure you don’t get any bubbles. (Near impossible to apply film without water)

If you do this directly to a typical monitor screen you might get water over the electronics side of it. You might be able to if you’re extremely careful and take good precautions.

I’m planning on trying this on my next project as I have a touchscreen monitor.
The monitor I have is a frame-less one and the glass is a bit thicker on the front than a typical monitor.
I am confident I can apply the film to this without any issues.

Nice touch. What mini DLP Projector are you using?
I’ve been looking for one to play around with but couldn’t decide on one. I saw one I liked then it turned out you couldn’t use it while it was charging and the battery only lasted less than an hour.

Have you seen these?

One power supply, 14" screen. Bit epxensive maybe.

Hi, mine was working fine for me this morning.

Great, thank you. I will take a look at that when I have a little bit of spare time.

Is there a config option to show/hide the “Random Fact” title if you just want the fact?
Alternatively, would positioning and colour customisation of the title be done in CSS?

Hi,

I wanted to do this as well. I found the best solution for myself was to use the MMM-Wunderlist module.
(You need the Wunderlist app on your mobile device as well. )

https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Wunderlist

It’s a ToDo list and you can get messages to show up on the mirror by adding them to a specific List.
This way you can have multiple messages showing up. And to get rid of the messages you can just tick that item off the list.
You can also share lists with other Wunderlist users so they can also add and tick of items.

Note:
One thing I did find as well is that it did stop updating after so many hours of running. Never found out what caused this, there are some other threads on here regarding the same issue (the same with ToDoist module)
The way I got around that was to set up a schedule to restart the MagicMirror a few times a day.

Hope this helps or that you find an alternative solution, would be interested if there was an alternative easier way.

Regards

Hi,

One way around this might be to put two modules in your config, as shown below. That way you can have a separate header for each.
Hope this works.

{
                module: 'MMM-Wunderlist',
                position: 'bottom_left',// This can be any of the regions. Best$
                header: 'Att göra', // This is optional
                config: {// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                        accessToken: '******************',
                        clientID: '****************',   //example clientID
                        lists: ['Att göra'],
                        interval: 3500,
                        ShowDeadline: true,
                        fade: true,
                        }
                },
{
                module: 'MMM-Wunderlist',
                position: 'bottom_left',// This can be any of the regions. Best$
                header: 'Matinköp', // This is optional
                config: {// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                        accessToken: '******************',
                        clientID: '****************',   //example clientID
                        lists: ['Matinköp'],
                        interval: 3500,
                        ShowDeadline: true,
                        fade: true,
                        }
                },

@bhepler Ye, I had a play around last week and managed to do just this. All back up and running now.
Thank you for the reply though.

I’m not currently using MMM-PIR-Sensor.
My problem was Enabling the Open GL driver. Using “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” or “dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d” did not work. Remove the line and it was fine. (Temps seem reasonable 62deg)

"Enable the Open GL driver to decrease Electron’s CPU usage.
The latest versions of electron use an extreme amount of CPU power when no Open GL driver is loaded. This will result in an overheating Raspberry Pi. To solve this issue, use the experimental desktop Open GL driver by adding the following line to /boot/config.txt:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the following line:

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
️ Activating the Open GL drive can also be accomplished by using the raspi-config tool by running sudo raspi-config. Go to the Advanced Options menu and select A7 GL Driver. Next, select the G1 GL (Full KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with full KMS. Note that this option will be selected in the menu even when the GL drive is not yet configured."

Not sure what the issue is. But at least it works.
