To me it seems that only a few people use this display for Magic Mirror yet. Although it looks good in the pictures and specs, I still have my doubts:

1. Mounting on the wall is only possible in landscape mode (with the holes in the back wall).

2. Getting rid of the (power) cable is difficult when it is hung. In landscape mode you can look at the connections from the sides.

3. As far as I know (see below what Waveshare wrote) the backlight cannot be controlled via software. So if the brigthness level is okay during the day, it is too light in the evening.

4. The bezel around the display is in my opinion quite wide.

5. On Amazon I saw a review that the housing quality is not that good and looks like a toy, not sure if this is really an issue.

Still hope to read some comments or user experiences here.

Waveshare support answered my email, they replied that the brightness could be controlled via software but it will be complicated. They didn’t tell me how to do that. I have notified Waveshare of this post and asked to provide more information through this forum.

Correction on the above post:

Youtube video link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GFOTMr0VGw

Waveshare sells a 13.3 inch touch screen with built-in RPi 3a+ as Magic Mirror: https://www.waveshare.com/13.3inch-magic-mirror.htm. There are complaints about the quality of the housing on Amazon and there is a nice video on YouTube (https://www.waveshare.com/13.3inch-magic-mirror.htm) from an HA user. It looks promising but unfortunately I hardly find any other reviews or videos from users.

Does anyone have experience with this product? Especially about the lack of (automatic) brigthness regulation? How about backlight in dark environments?

My setup shows the correct hour when I access MM via a webbrowser but a connected HDMI monitor to the same setup shows one hour earlier…

In config.js if have set timezone: “Europe/Amsterdam” so this should not be the problem as I suppose.

Any help would be appreciated!

Following your steps it turned out you’re right, thanks for helping! All my iCloud events are back on the mirror. I did not create a complete new calendar, I only unchecked and thereafter checked “make public” and copied the new URL : webcal://p41-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/… in the config.js file.

Again many thanks for your fast reply.

After working correct (Raspberry Pi 3B) for several months the calendar module stopped displaying events from my iCloud calendar a few days ago and shows no events. There are many events within my iCloud calender and they are still visable on https://www.icloud.com/#calendar. The public webcal URL in config.js is unchanged and matches with iCloud public URL generated online by Apple. Newsfeeds and weather forecast works fine so I can exclude network issues. Please see my calendar config below. Are there issues with the module or iCloud? Any suggestions to solve this?

Hi,

Although I have set the afternoonEndTime to 18:00 (see below) the evening compliments start at 17:00. Anyone an idea what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks, Hans.

                        module: "compliments",
                        position: "lower_third",

                                updateInterval: 3000,
                                fadeSpeed: 1000,
                                morningStartTime: 6,

@yawns said in Translation “After one month” in Calendar Module:

vendor/node_modules/moment/min/

Hi Stefan. You almost need to be a digital detective to locate that phrases ;-) But finally the issue is solved, thanks for your assistance!

Think I translated wrong, writing “An event is over one month” I ment “An event is after one month” ;-)
