@solelo Maybe some photo rotation of items you sell? Or something humorous that make customers remember your store?

@thestigh You could combine MMM-pages and MMM-voice and just setup a page with the module and without it. However, this will probably only work if you are talking about 1 module. If you want several to be turned on and off, Lucy is the way to go. I belive Mykle1 has a video with it working as well.

Do you have to install both forks?

You need to install the original one and then copy cowboydudes fork (his folders) into the original and overwrite the files that come up.

note the missing g

should be

Hah! Sorry, such a dummy. Works now, thanks buddy!!

@greda Hey there! I should just be in the config file. I believe it is also explained in the read me on GitHub.

@dazza120 Just let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

@bhall321 HI! I see you are using the automatic installer which - I seem to recall - is missing Node. I would recommend doing a manual installation instead. The steps to do it is on GitHub and they are very easy to follow :-)

@dazza120 said in Hello-Lucy:

@mdhenriksen works a treat but I don’t know how to make a third page. Not sure what I’ll put on it? But I’m sure I’ll find something to install if I figure out how to add more pages it’s stuck on two at the mo 😢

Hey Dazza!

It’s pretty easy actually. Now first you should install MMM-page-indicator as well. That makes it easier to see what page you are on.

Making several pages:

{
       module: 'MMM-pages',
       config: {
       modules:
                   	[[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed", "compliments"],
                     	[ "calendar", "compliments", "calendar2"], ["MMM-CalendarWeek"]],
                	excludes: ["clock", "currentweather", "MMM-page-indicator", "MMM-voice"],
        	}
    		},

The pages are made in an 2D-array, which is basically a line of elements separated by the brackets “[” and “]”.

Your array starts at the double bracket, “[[” right before “weatherforecast” and ends at the “]]” right after “MMM-CalendarWeek”. Inside the array the pages are separated by one bracket.

So this is a page: (remember the comma at the end)

[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed", "compliments"],         

And this is a page:

[ "calendar", "compliments", "calendar2"],

And lastly this is a page as well:

["MMM-CalendarWeek"]

Remember that the array is zero-based which means that the first page will be number 0. The second will be number 1 and the third will be number 2.

Hope it helps! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@dazza120 It’s the small things that make the difference :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hey! Awesome design, I really like the edgeless look! I noticed you are from Denmark as well! I’ve programmed my mirror by having trouble finding the right glass. Could you tell me where you get yours? :D

Hi! It looks awesome! I’m planning to do something like that myself. Could you share some more pictures of it? I’m curious to see the quality of the glass from different angles :D

@leroyhab Great! I think you will have more luck with that. Let me know how it goes!

@thestigh You could combine MMM-pages and MMM-voice and just setup a page with the module and without it. However, this will probably only work if you are talking about 1 module.

@meobeou I’m not sure about the %. I’ve seen some say 50/50 is the best. You could also check the difference in mirrors vs. foils here - there is pictures and video about it :-)

@mykle1 Duh, don’t know why I didn’t do a search first…

As always, thanks for the help though! Managed to find a comparison on a small YouTube channel as well as a gallery on Imgur. Seems foil is, as you say, do able but makes for a cheap look.

@sumrag Hey there! I can’t answer your question, but I can tell you that MM2 is pretty straight forward if you just do a manual install as the guide shows on GitHub :-) Give it a go!

"Solved! " - I found a great comparison of an actual two way mirror vs foil: Imgur link (The silver frame is foil and the wood frame is glass)

I also found a video on the subject here: YouTube link

Check them out if you are in doubt. @Mykle1 is right when he says foil gives it a more cheap look. But again, it is so much cheaper (at least in Denmark)

Hey guys!

I’m about to do the actual build of my first MagicMirror and I was wondering about the differences between the actual mirror used.

I’ve seen a fair share of mirrors and some seem to do a much better job at not being “see through” - Where you can see the actual screen behind the glass.

Due to cost, I was thinking of using window foil on glass which will give the same effect as a two-way mirror. Is there any downside to doing that? I really don’t want the screen to be visible behind. It kinda ruins the whole idea of the project.

Thanks in advance!
