Space for Alerts module? hmmm

@Sean

Actually… Still not quite full screen.

Bottom and left and right are correct. Top still has a blank space… hhmmmm

hmmm

0 margin
0 vertical
0 horisontal

Gives me full screen.

Good enough for now

@Sean

hmmmmm

So if the screen size is 800 x 480 pixels what should i be setting the vertical horizontal at?

@Sean

Spot on… Just messing with those settings now…

Cheers

Just installed a Pi3 with the official TFT touchscreen.

The OS etc uses the whole screen.

But when I open MagicMirror it’s only using about 2/3 of the screen realestate…

Any ideas?

Cheers

@cowboysdude

Thanks for the replies. Any help is much appreciated.

I’ve tried a year or so ago using MMM-HTTP with no luck.

And tried again over the last few weeks using MMM-HTTP and MMM-REST with no luck.

What module are you planing on using?

I also have one other source. Hosted locally tho but that returns a ton more data. I thought this that only returns some data would be easier to get working first.

I think my issues may be coming from my lack of understanding on how to actually target a specific result within the data.

But so far I’ve not got any data to show.

Thanks again :-)

@cowboysdude

this is the response

@cowboysdude

Sorry…looks like the nicehash site was temp down

Working again now

Hopefully someone can help…

I’m trying to get data from a few places onto my magic mirror.

Using REST or HTTP get api.

I’ve tried the HTTP and Rest modules with no luck.

An example of a GET request I’m trying to use:

xxxxxxx

Any ideas how to grab this data. What module do I need. And then how do I pick just one result from the returned data.

Hope someone has solved this already. Doing my head in lol

Cheers all.

hmmmm yes forgot about that rpi Zero… hmmm that does spark some thoughts…

I wonder if I am allowed to use this software for displaying info in our small business…

Picked up a cheap Nexus 7 tablet recently… 7" I think… still pretty good and lots around… they gave them out with new mobile contracts for a while…

@KirAsh4

What printer do you have?

Only just got mine a few months ago Flashforge Dreamer… Working way up on longer prints…

Cant wait to try the wood and metal filaments…

@KirAsh4

I’ve thought about multiple instances myself…

I was thinking a whole bunch of raspberry pi 7’ screens with just one module each spread over a huge window with that film… mmmmmm lol

That would look awesome as a magic mirror

I’d also love and RGB controller module… maybe the seed studios gear might be an easy integrate…

Pi screens might be fairly cheap… probably find 8" I was only thinking the 7" official one for ease compatibility…

I’d LOVE to see this if you manage it…

@KirAsh4

hahahhaahh

Thinking lighter for sure maybe hmmmm… lol

Its really intended as a pure dashboard… mirror is not important…

By the time I get ALL the modules working that I want then it will be a nearly full screen anyway hahahah

Plus i like the idea of pulling up a second screen if I ever need to…

Still… Test will be in the actual large piece…

While your around and helpful… do you see any dramas with the TV I have… 40" cheap VIANO LED LCD

Will attempt to remove the bezel after and check if the screen is not attached to be able to remove it… Otherwise the glass is close enough to the height of the bezel it may just fit inside bezel nice but to frame it I’ll lose a very small amount of screen space…

@KirAsh4

Thanks for the advice…

Hard to choose… I think? that I will be able to get away with the lighter stuff…

Not that fussed about the mirror part… just the kewl factor…

I wish now that I had gotten bigger bits to test with to really be able to see but the guy was nice enough to just give me these test bits… I think he even cut them to size as I originally asked when enquired for a size roughly the size of a pi 7" screen…

No mirror colour test

Light Mirror

Dark Mirror

I’ll take a photo of a normal pic to show colour diff…

Darker one on the left…

Screen on with nothing displayed

Screen off

@KirAsh4

I was hoping you might chime in lol :-)

I’ll check and see… whats the chances of a touch monitor working thru the glass… slim to none from my guess lol

Any thoughts…

Both samples have benefits. I have no idea the percentages of light etc…

One… the darker one… Is more mirror like… But is fairly dull and doesn’t let colours show very well

The lighter one is a lot brighter and sharper… I’d almost say you could watch a movie with it… but its not that reflective… I doubt good enough as a normal mirror

I also haven’t tried playing with tv settings yet… Still testing…

Its a little hard to tell by pics but its very noticeable in person… In pics you can see it in the fade outs

Whats everyones thoughts / opinions ?

40" TV with no mirror

I use zwave.

I use a Vera server as the main hub. Connects zwave zigbee? Wifi/ip and a few other devices

Vera handy as it takes care of the automation side of things. And collects all data like power usage data.

It also intergrates with a lot of the newer wifi stuff automation stuff.

Are better options out there tho but I’m happy.
