@Goldjunge_Chriz - Mmmh. okay. Not cheap at all. But its still fine for me, so i dont have to buy a new lamp for the mirror.

@roger-0 Dont forget pihole. But if youre using homebridge and piHole (everthing network related), i suggest LAN.

Its really annoying when you open Home in the iPhone and have “Aktualisierung” in red for 1-2 seconds. But givi it a try…!

@foxy25 said in My Kitchencabinet Mirror:

MMM-Globe for the animated background image.

Thanks for the info about your used modules.
I have also the PI4 but MMM-globe stops working within 25% of memory.

Somehow with the time the RAM is fulling up by itself. Have no idea why. I also use pages and indicator.

@sdetweil I agree. But - I said not turn off the RPI. I said- rurn of the monitor with the help of a relay!

@pddh I forgot to mention- i have a double switch installed. One for the bathroom lights and the other for the mirror light. So i can use the mirror light easily for the MM.

Later on i will break thru the wall and make a socket behind the mirror. So i have constant 220v and the Alexa behind the mirror will have always power.

I power off the rpi and monitor fully over night for saving some energy and daily fresh reboot.

When u use a RPI… use a relay for power if nothing helps. So you can set the time like described.

2nd possibility - use a Tasmota device and define rules.

@pddh I have my MM in the bathroom.
Actual solution - change the wiring (a bit)
I already use ioBroker for some SmartHome magic.

So i installed a shelly to catch the switch and set the shelly to detaced. With this- i can activate/deactive the power only with the shelly-app, ioBroker, Alexa e.g. So i have power the whole time behind my Mirror like i want an no one can turn off the power accidently. Oh- i fogot to mention… i have a double switch installed. One for the regular light and one for the power behind the mirror.

2nd step- I have MQTT-service installed on the RPI (found the script online). WIth the “vcgencmd” you can turn off/ on the monitor signal to save some power, when not needed. Man PIR-Modules do the same.

3rd step- let ioBroker (is the MQTT broker in this case) set the MQTT Mesasage - “Montitor on” e.g… when the switch is pressed on. And “monitor off” when the switch is off.

So now you have a fully running MM and when someone is pressing the switch (or using the iphone-Home app, or using Alexa or or or…) the the MQTT state is set to “Monitor on” and the RPI (which has subsrcibed on that channel) is seeing the “Monitor on” command and starts “vcgencmd_1”.

So the Monitor ist switched off.

If you dont have any Smart Home Handler… You can have the MQTT-Broker on the RPI instead and when you use Tasmota you can configure Tasmota to communicate directly. So no need for ioBroker.

I hope you can follow my “instructions”.

Anyone here from Hamburg to split parcel fees…?

@lavolp3 Are there any options within the custom.css.
I want to have the text on the left side. So i have choosen ‘top_left’ but the text spans till the middle.
Any ideas?
I made a screenshot and want to have the text in the white boarders.

@monkeyjb123 I used black cardbord. nothing special. Good to hide the monitor frame also. Very ceap, very easy.

@sdetweil Ok. i will do not in the future (i had an hope i did not cause issues)

From Outside… i mean no portforwarding e.g. from “outside” to the pi.
