@cubesmi yes they sent me a book with 3 samples of A5 size. I sent it back but they did not request to do :)

Cowboysdude is right, you have to use, for example a RCWL0516 (radar sensor) instead.

@max86 Hi Max, sure :-)
Outline is 153cm x 40.3cm for the frame
and visable mirror is 34.3cm

So the overflow in my case should be about ~1.5 to 1.7cm

@jersam Aaaah, now i get your point :D

I started with 2

Douglas Wood 4,5 cm x 200 cm x 7 cm

Cut in the half and to my needed length.
Get rid of the wood i dont need with a wood milling, like this:

…with two different positions to get a “stairway” :-)

@teegray1124 Yes but i think you mean the “rainfall” amount, when you ask like this ^^
I noticed that it states “nullmm” instead of a number, since a couple weeks.

@onkelbobby Hi, thank you :-)

I just mounted the sensor on a piece of wood behind the glass (to reduce the range a little bit without a tresistor) instead of directly behind the glass.

If you need i can make a picture but i think the illustration should do the job ;-)

@jersam said in 27" Mirror with selfmade frame:

which router bits did you use on the 2x4s?

Sorry i dont get your point ^^
Do you mean this, maybe?

yes you have to.
On my thread i saw a post they only deliver to business customers but they give you a contact for private orders.

Ah sorry i did not get any notifications about new posts :-)
I will answer all the questions this week

@mat74 https://www.glastroesch.ch/fr/home.html I have my mirror from Glas Trösch, no cheaper way for you :-)

Sehr geil, dass du das auf Deutsch machst :D

Maybe i need this too if you’r done ^^

Looks nice, i like the camera idea :-)
What type of “cooling system” do you plan? Active with fan or what?
Iam intrested in the end result of your project with the face recog.

@maxbachmann
Its in the middle behind the thick wood and it detects at least 4m. (would be more if there would be no wood, just the glass :-)
Due to the position across from my wardrobe thats fine but if the range is too faar for detection it would be possible to reduce it with a resistor.

Thanks :)
Its 12% and 4mm thick

They have 1, 12, 20, 30 and 40%

Hello Everyone

My Mirror Project is already finished since a couple months, but i had no “time” :-) to post it here.

First, thank you very much @MichMich and @j.e.f.f for this amazing Idea and the modules i can use for this.
It’s a pleasure to stand up in the morning, looking on the screen to see the traffic, calender and weather information in this esthetic manner :hugging_face:

The screen is always off until the radard sensor detects motion in front of the display.
I used Douglas wood because its cheap and has intresting visual structure ^^

Modules

• MMM-MyCalendar
• MMM-MyCommute
• MMM-MyWeather
• MMM-MyWastePickup
• MMM-PIR-Sensor replaced with MM-Display-Controller
  thats an os-deamon based solutions, because PIR sensor doesn’t work anymore since MM 2.4 and OpenGL…
• MMM-DHT22
• newsfeed
• clock

Regards and thanks for feedback

yes you have to put in the billing details anyway

Everybody got this message using Google Maps API.

Maybe it would be simpler to reduce the requests instead of looking for an alternative?
I just have 3 routes with https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute and google says to me all is fine with this $200.

@mkastern Maybe you are still interested.
I tested alot for an idea i had and now i just modified the weatherforecast.css to get this result (top left):

Made this changes:

td { 
  display: block;
  padding-right: 25px
}
tr { display: inline-block;}

.weatherforecast .day {
  padding-left: 5px;
}

.weatherforecast .weather-icon {
  padding-left: 5px;
}

.weatherforecast .max-temp {
  
}

.weatherforecast .min-temp {
 
}

But keep in mind, after an update of MM, your changes get overwritten because it’s an integrated module!

@Mykle1 How do you did the wake up with a webcam?
Let’s say a notebook has always an integrated webcam on top of the display. How do you wake the screen up like a PIR-Sensor does?

And what are your solutions for GPIO related stuff like temperatur sensor or PIR-Sensor (infrared or radar).
Do you always use the laptop screen or how does this look?
