Tammax Smart Mirror Hits Kickstarter (video)

Has anyone seen this? Thoughts?

@vicdilou I think you have to have Sonarr running on the same machine as the mirror. Sonarr has to be started via the command line for the ical link to work. It’s working on mine. I just need to figure out how to make it run at boot.

you guys were no help. lol.

This is what fixed it: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=68183&p=497867

@zman3 It’s because there’s no guide. It’s just figure it out yourself. You know this isn’t a well-organized module when you look at how many posts/replies are in it.

What mirror did you use? I mean, where did you get the mirror?

@Jopyth @KirAsh4 I have two buttons set up–1 to shutdown the pi, and another I was hoping to set it up to run “pm2 restart mm” to restart the MM. I have 2 separate .py scripts, 1 for each. And I edited the /etc/rc.local file to run the scripts at startup. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong though. Here’s my rc.local file:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

python /home/pi/.sd_button.py,

python /home/pi/.rs_button.py

exit 0

the files .sd and .rs_button.py files are the ones. here is the .py for the shutdown that works on GPIO pin 25 and ground:

#!/bin/python
#This script was authored by AndrewH7 and belongs to him (www.instructables.com/member/AndrewH7)
#You have permission to modify and use this script only for your own personal usage
#You do not have permission to redistribute this script as your own work
#Use this script at your own risk

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os

gpio_pin_number=25
#Replace YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE with the GPIO pin number you wish to use
#Make sure you know which rapsberry pi revision you are using first
#The line should look something like this e.g. "gpio_pin_number=7"

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
#Use BCM pin numbering (i.e. the GPIO number, not pin number)
#WARNING: this will change between Pi versions
#Check yours first and adjust accordingly

GPIO.setup(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
#It's very important the pin is an input to avoid short-circuits
#The pull-up resistor means the pin is high by default

try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.FALLING)
    #Use falling edge detection to see if pin is pulled
    #low to avoid repeated polling
    os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")
    #Send command to system to reboot
except:
    pass

GPIO.cleanup()
#Revert all GPIO pins to their normal states (i.e. input = safe)

and here is the one that doesn’t work:

#!/bin/python
#This script was authored by AndrewH7 and belongs to him (www.instructables.com/member/AndrewH7)
#You have permission to modify and use this script only for your own personal usage
#You do not have permission to redistribute this script as your own work
#Use this script at your own risk

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os

gpio_pin_number=18
#Replace YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE with the GPIO pin number you wish to use
#Make sure you know which rapsberry pi revision you are using first
#The line should look something like this e.g. "gpio_pin_number=7"

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
#Use BCM pin numbering (i.e. the GPIO number, not pin number)
#WARNING: this will change between Pi versions
#Check yours first and adjust accordingly

GPIO.setup(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
#It's very important the pin is an input to avoid short-circuits
#The pull-up resistor means the pin is high by default

try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.FALLING)
    #Use falling edge detection to see if pin is pulled
    #low to avoid repeated polling
    os.system("sudo reboot")
    #Send command to system to reboot
except:
    pass

GPIO.cleanup()
#Revert all GPIO pins to their normal states (i.e. input = safe)

it’s essentially the same but it’s in GPIO 18 and ground. Also, I’ve alternated the pin and that didn’t change anything.

Here’s what my pi currently looks like: https://goo.gl/photos/eJrMh8i9ZZHC4RCr8

Any thoughts?

@Jopyth how do you control multiple buttons? I have 2 connected but I can only get one to work.

I have found that this white screen that happens every day essentially freezes the entire Magic Mirror and I have to press CRTL+Q to restart. It doesn’t actually freeze the entire RPi.

Has anyone had an issue with filling up your notifications and then no new notifications come through at all?

@Gunwoody I gave up on it too. The git is not user friendly and there’s no step by step guide. Pit that together and I’ll come back.

This is what I get when I wake up and the monitor was supposed to go off at night and then turns back on in the morning. This happens every morning. Essentially, the monitor signal cuts but it never actually turns off or enters a low power state as it does when I actually shut down the Pi. This only happens when it’s overnight. When I do a trial off for a few minutes, it doesn’t do it. I think it might be the crappy old monitor, but I don’t know. Any thoughts?

@ianperrin @cowboysdude

Firstly, thanks for making such an awesome module!

However, I can get it to work with all of my modules except one… I can’t get it to work with MMM-Instagram. I have it set up just like all of my other modules, but this one just ignores the scheduler script and always runs, never following the code. Here is the module code in config.js:

		{
		      	module: 'MMM-Instagram',
		        position: 'top_right',
			classes: 'scheduler',
		        config: {
				module_schedule: [
					{from: '0 5 * * 1-5', to: '0 9 * * 1-5'},
					{from: '0 17 * * 1-5', to: '0 22 * * 1-5'},
					{from: '0 6 * * 6-7', to: '0 24 * * 6-7'}
				],
		                access_token: '//ACCESS_TOKEN//',
		                count: 200,
		                min_timestamp: 0,
		                animationSpeed: 2500,
                		updateInterval: 12000
			}
		},

any thoughts? here’s a picture of what it looks like when the scheduler is active: https://goo.gl/photos/K3S6HA7m61j5iSEe8

Is there a way to link the music directory to a thumb drive instead of having it in the modules folder on the SD card?

Could you please write a more detailed Readme file on how to install and how to make adjustments to MMM-Remote-Control? I’d like to do this for a display in my kitchen as well but I’m a NOOB and some of the stuff you mention just doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks.

@cowboysdude thanks for the help. This is actually what worked for me:

 body {
	cursor: help
 }
 
 .region.top.left {
	width: 375px
}

@cowboysdude could you post a copy of your custom.css file so I can see what you are talking about? Right now, my ‘body’ in the file is blank.

Ok. So, I’ve decided to give up on this. The Readme files are not user-friendly. There is no step-by-step guide for install. I originally got very excited about this and if I could see it working, I might still again. However, I’m no programmer; I’m just the end user. So, good luck and let me know if you ever put out a video demo of it working and create a more user-friendly step-by-step install guide.

Setting up the AWS IoT service… what support plan to choose? Basic is free right? I’m not paying $30 for developer. Is this even required?
