@Mykle1,

thanks :-D

call me dumb hahahahahahaha

Unfortunately the modules are not loading now.

But whats interesting is that if your Ip adress is like “12.10.0.xxx”, the module won’t accept it. If you give your devices a new static IP adress like “12.10.0.xx” then the module works fine. But shows a black screen.

Dear @Mykle1,

my config.js file looks like this:

var config = {
        adress: "0.0.0.0",
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: [],
        language: 'de',
        timeFormat: 24,
        units: 'metric',

Unfortunately, my screen went black after I 've changed the config file and rebooted.

Could you make a guess, where the problem is located?

@weee99,

It looks like the module is working, so it has to be a problem with your pins.
I would recommend to try it this way:

Hi fellow MM-builders,

the same problem occured with my build but instead a 192.168.xxx.xxx I use 10.12.0.135:8080.html
Unfortunately it shows following message:

‘This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this’

My steps to solve this issue were:

1. change ipWhitelist to ipWhitelist:[ ]
2. change ipWhitelist to ipWhitelist: [0.0.0.0]
   3.change ipWhitelist to the specific IP adresses of my devices.

Unfortunately, none of this steps solved the error.

Maybe you guys have a tip or trick on how to solve that.
Thank you in advance :)

@Mykle1,

thank you for your quick answer. I am going to try that and keep you updated. :)

@lavolp3

Thank you very much :)

It it mounted on the wall via a wall mount which is connected to the screen.
The whole frame is connected to the screen through a frame made of wood.

The DHT-22 as well as the PIR Sensor are located on the right, right behind the frame.
I did not find a good solution on how to “hide” the PIR Sensor, so I though I should hide it a little bit.

Dear fellow MM-builders,

I would like to know if there is a module that enables you to sent notifications like push-notifications to your MM via mobilephone or internet site.

I would like to sent instant messages to the screen. For example if a friend walks by the MM shows a personalized message which you have sent before via your wifi.

Maybe you have seen such a thing before. :)

@cruunnerr,

Thank you so much! What a great ‘How-to’- Guide :)

You and your post helped a lot. :)

Dear fellow MM-builders,
I would like to show you the build to my second MagicMirror.
Unfortunately the glas broke during a move to another city, so I decided that it was time for a second try.

This time I used following parts:

• picture frame Ribba from IKEA 50cm*70cm
  –> it includes a neat passepartout which was useful to hide some of the cracks in the mirror
  -24" monitor Acer KA241bid
  –> a cheap monitor which is also very thin and has a HDMI output

• then I 've cut some of the parts of my old mirror which weren’t cracked
  –> I used a glas cutting tool and watched a lot of DIY youtube videos on how to cut glas, because I not such a craftsman :-D

• If you want a more cheap solution instead of buying an actual mirror, you can use the Polycarbonat plat which is included in the Ribba frame from IKEA and use silver reflection folie

• a short HDMI cable

• for wifi connection I used the CSL - 300 Mbit/s USB 2.0 WLAN
  –> you just have to install the software from CSL (raspberry Pi needs a LAN connection) after that its super easy :)

• a wall mount

• wood from the local store as well as screws

• male to female wires

• a DHT22-Sensor as well as a PIR sensor

I was a lot of fun putting it all together and doing a little bit of programming by myself.
As always, you guys helped me a lot in doing so!

Thank you very much :)

Hey guys,

there is another option on disabling the screensaver, which worked perfectly for me.
Just disable the screensaver in the option menu of debian.

Hope this helps someone :)
