I used an apple ipad charger to take from 240V to 5V 2.1A

@indigomejor Hi,
It’s a pre-made product just so I can power the raspberry pi and my monitor but only have one wall outlet in use.

@yawns The y-splitter is a good idea I definitely recommend it. the blue light is the control buttons for the monitor, so I can change settings etc. It was a lot bigger/the size of the foot for the monitor so I cut it down to as small as it would go.

@Mitchfarino
There is no glow, if anything i would like my monitor to be brighter, for daytime use.

Bournemouth, UK. About 2 mins walk from the beach.

Hi Guys,
Firstly again a huge thank you to the devs on this, awesome project!

I’ve created a mirror for use in my bathroom, needs some physical tweaks so I don’t kill myself but worth showing off i think.

I’ll list the components I’ve used at the bottom. Let me know what you think. If this holds up for 6 months I’m thinking of really investing in this and making a 42 inch hallway mirror with real 2-way glass rather than the perspex I’m currently using.

The final product! After cutting the hole in the door it left a very rough chipboard edge, I resolved this issue with some right angled plastic trim which i used a mitre saw to get the 45 degree angle on leaving a professional finish. It almost looks like it’s supposed to be like this.

Here you can see the hardware installed onto the side of the cabinet, the circuit board is the controller for the monitor and the Pi2 in a custom 3D printed housing. The power supplies are housed at the top and im using this Y-Splitter power cable to power both the monitor and the Rasberry Pi. (http://www.lindy.co.uk/cables-adapters-c1/power-c136/2-5m-uk-3-pin-plug-to-iec-c13-iec-c7-splitter-extension-cable-black-p9209/s9367?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=2-5m-uk-3-pin-plug-to-iec-c13-amp-iec-c7-splitter-extension-cable-black&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CMfcgtndyM4CFU-6Gwod7TsKiw)

Attaching the monitor to the door proved difficult as space was very limited. After several ideas these peg ideas worked best.

I’m using a few modules, the basics are there with the additional of the LastFM Scrobbler showing my now playing song through my Spotify account as well as the fitbit module on the right with the css altered for vertical viewing rather than horizontal.
Also on the bottom I’m viewing my shared iCloud calendar between me and the GF as well as her work rota which is again a shared calendar online.
The compliments module has been packed with over 100 different phrases and insults to keep the reader on their toes.
The housing is from ikea (link http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/bathroom-storage/lillången-wall-cabinet-white-art-40240791/)
It’s using an old raspberry pi 2 I had.

I’d love to hear some opinions and thoughts!

Thanks, Ollie W

@zombi27
I have noticed that scrobbling doesn’t work on the Spotify desktop app but does on their mobile app.

Try that?

@zombi27

Ahh just installed it again from fresh and it works perfect. Doh!

Thanks

@kckndrgn

Thanks! works perfect. I’ve copied your set up so it refreshes the data every 15 mins.

@Hellangel1987
Glad to hear you got it working.

I’m just trying to get the module to refresh more often. Not sure how to go about it.

You probably could get your weight data in too, you’d need to contact the creator of the module for that.

@zombi27

Hi thanks,

I’ve tried that module but it just shows the recently played list on a loop.

Not showing the now playing song and changing when the song changes.

@gshimself

That’s worked perfectly thank you.

@gshimself

Thanks for your reply. I do have the LXDE-pi/autostart set correctly as you say as well as the LXDE/autostart.

The mouse cursor does disappear but only when you try and move it.

Hi Guys,

Any suggestions to make the mouse cursor invisible on reboot?

I’ve changed all my LXDE settings, meaning when i move the mouse it disappears.

But when my mirror reboots and there is no mouse movement the cursor sits there right in the middle until I plug in a mouse and move it, then it goes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ollie

@Hellangel1987

I cant easily explain as I had to play around a lot to get it to work… and then it just did.

When setting up your app on the fitbit website did you get the below steps?

Check browser and personal for OAuth settings
Callback URL MUST BE http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Give your app read & write permissions (read-only untested)

I could not set the Personal and OAuth settings until I got my personal URL wrong. When the page reloaded these two extra options appeared.

@Hellangel1987

Sorry I’m out of ideas then.

Cronjob? I’m pretty new to this.

@Hellangel1987
When you run #sudo python setupAccess.py# on the python directory inside the MMM-fitbit folder does it redirect you to log into you fitbit account in an internet browser?

@Hellangel1987
No Problem.

Also what fitbit model are you using? I tried this with a fitbit alta and it didn’t work. Then I tried with my fitbit ChargeHR and it works perfect* see attached. I changed the CSS to display vertically.

*i say it works perfect i just need a way to keep the connection to my fitbit account over a long period of time without having to re-run sudo python setupAccess.py on the python directory once a day.

Hi Guys,

TL;DR a simple 1 liner to display the now playing song on Spotify.

I see a Spotify module is already created (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/468/mmm-spotifyconnectui) but this requires the playing device to be the raspberry pi. I regularly play music from my phone to my bose via bluetooth but when walking around the house (away from the phone) I would like the currently playing song to show on the MM.

Can anyone produce a way to show the currently playing track from any device playing Spotify? (NOT THE PI)

I’ve tried an RSS feed from LastFM which is scrobbling Spotify but this only does recently played.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ollie

Looks like you’re using the wrong quote marks around elements, you’re using ‘ try using ’

There is a difference.

or use the code below; I’ve tested it working.
