Hi @andy952 , I’m looking at Cutplasticsheeting now. Do you mind sharing what type of Material and Thickness you used? It seems there are many different kinds. I’m not too handy with acrylic lingo and want to make sure I order the proper sheet. Thanks in advance!

I thought I heard somewhere that the Alexa’s open source software doesn’t actually allow for voice activation, but rather a button must be used to activate voice commands… perhaps that’s incorrect. I’d love to add voice command to my mirror.

Hi @KirAsh4 , thanks for the info! I am running into an issue with combining multiple calendars.

I have successfully added my Google calendar by replacing calendarlabs default with my personal ical address. However, I still want to US Holidays to show. I am only seeing my personal google calendar showing with the following code. I even tried rearranging the order, but it doesn’t seem to want to show Holidays. Memorial Day isn’t showing up, but my personal meeting much further in the future are showing. Are you putting both calendars into the config.js and the calendar.js file?

calendars: [
			{
				symbol:"calendar",
				url:"http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics",
			},
			{
				symbol: "calendar",
				url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/MY_INFO.ics",
			},
		],

@CaptainFalcon323 What happens if you right click the Magic Mirror folder > Open in Terminal > and enter command npm start? Do you still get the ‘need to config’ prompt?

Yes, but for 1a) be sure to remove ‘sample’ at the end. I assume that was a typo, but just want to make sure we’re on same page. File should be “config.js”

Hi @CaptainFalcon323, you can also go into this folder within the File Manager interface and literally Copy the file, Paste it and rename to remove .sample at the end. Whatever is easier.

Well i’ll be damned. Following the instructions worked! Haha. Thanks for bearing with me.

Thanks @paviro! [grabs cup of coffee] Going to take another crack at this!

@paviro thanks for the comment. Honestly, I have no experience with this sort of thing so I’ve been following online tutorials saying to install Apache. I might just wipe my SD Card and start over (…again).

Let me know if I’m misunderstanding, but if I install MagicMirror2 then I do not need Apache? Install link below:
(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash)

Which directory should I download this into? Once it’s installed, the other trouble I’m having is actually locating a index.php file, which is what I believe should launch with reboot once I adjust autostart file with this line (among others) @midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost/MagicMirror/index.php

When I input this index.php file I get a Not Found error upon reboot and launch. THANK YOU!

Figured this out. I was able to give my default user “pi” permissions to write in /var/www/
