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. 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.

@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 :-)

@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!

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

@scoller You are not using the right URL then. Could you post your config here so we can see?

@cstein6486 Hey there! Have you gotten one of the calendars working before trying syncing multiple calendars? 😄

@dazza120 Hey Dazza. Post it in the code-block you can use in the editor. Otherwise it’s hard to read your code/output.

@txajay Hey AJ! I think there is one called DarkSky or at least one there is based on that. It seems to work as it should and also looks quite nice! Let me know if it does the trick. 😄

@afedriansyah I’ve read that there might be some issues with the automatic installer in the Pi. If you do a re-install and it doesn’t work, try a manual install. All the instructions are on the GitHub page. ☺️

@sdetweil said in Can't install / Error with NPM / Electron not found:

note the missing g

libconf-2-4
should be
libgconf-2-4

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

@sdetweil I’ve tried that. It just says the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Hey guys,

(I’m using Linux 18.10, doing a manual install)

So I have installed MagicMirror before and had no trouble with it that I couldn’t fix. But I just tried installing it on another computer, and I keep getting this error now:

> magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/magicmirror/new/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

I have tried re-installing several times and tried older suggestions here on the forum. Might it be because of the new release? Any ideas?

@dazza120 It could also be because your monitor doesn’t support CEC or it isn’t enabled. Try Googling CEC + your monitor brand and model.

@dazza120 Hey Dazza! I’ve read somewhere on here, that you might be able the change it in the TV-settings somewhere. Try to grab your remote and see if there is something you can do on the TV firstly.
