RE: My in-wall mirror version 2.0

My in-wall mirror version 2.0
Just wanted to share my mirror. The original guide (in Swedish) is available at www.planet4.se. More details written there.
The things I have done is to:
- Build the frame
- Mount it in the wall
- Added better cooling
- Changed to real Mirrorpane glass
- Sprayed the frame instead of the initial paint and 3d printed a raspberry case
- Connected it with Home Assistant and Alexa
THE FINAL RESULT

FRAME
First I built the frame. I used a 24" monitor. I used a slightly bigger glass. My frame is 43*20 mm. Something like in the images below. I was worried about the heat so I took an image with my heat cam.



In wall mount
We just changed our kitchen and removed all walls. I got the idéa that maybe it was possible to mount the mirror in the wall. I also noticed the vent was just beside the hole and after some tweaking I was able to connect the vent coming from outside to the mirror frame.




Mirrorpane glass
I had film before and the difference is amazing. The glass is 6 mm thick. It costed me 60€. It is 40*56 cm. The negative things are:
It is thicker
It has a slightly red tone
More light is shining throughMy mirror is larger than the monitor. This means light may shine through at the sides. I have put a black paper at the sides. In total darkness the screen is a little bit gray and the sides are black.
Changed the contrast and brightness of the screen to fix this.
Sprayed the frame instead of using paint and printed a raspberry case. Used my ANET A8 3d printer to make a case.


Connected it with Home Assistant och Alexa
I am using the MMM-Remote Control. Maybe there are better solutions. I can now say Alexa, Reboot my magic Mirror or Alexa, Shutdown Magic Mirror. Or if none is home the monitor will be turned off. The code is found on my site.

@cowboysdude
Thanks for the reply. Just like this.{ module: 'MMM-NOAA', disabled: false, position: 'top_right', config: { apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxx", // https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api select the middle plan... useAir: false, // set to false if you do not want to use Air Quality Index airKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", // IF you want Air Quality Index pws: "IMLNLYCK10", // go here to find your pws: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap showClock: false, // Hides or shows clock dformat: false, // for M/D/YYYY format, false for D/M/YYYY format: "24", // 12 or 24 hour format.. will default to 12 hour if none selected. ampm: false, // to show AM and PM on Sunrise/Sunset time showGreet: true, // deafult is false - to show greeting under clock and above date name: "Persson", // Your name showWind: false, showDate: false, showForecast: true, //show bottom 3 day forecast flash: false, //Today in forecast flashes halo showUV: false, //show UV index showBar: false, // show Barometer showHum: false, //show Humidity level position: 'top_right' //whatever you have in above position must also be here } }, -
RE: MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module
I have some questions regarding this module. In the screenshots I do not se the grey boxes like in the image below. 0 G. I have tried to set everything as false but still.
Also the font size is smaller on this module compared to all other modules on my MM2. I suppose I can change this in the CSS but it seems to be worong.

RE: Black screen
@Mykle1 Thanks, Solved. Deletet everything and started with a fresh config. Something was messed up.

Black screen
I have tried searching here and tried some things but I just do not get it working. Maybe someone smart can guide me in the right direction. After the latest upgrade I get the error like below when running pm2 log mm. I just have a blck screen now.

RE: Input...What do you think?
@cowboysdude Looking forward to this but it should be prognos and not prognås right? In the swedish translation.

RE: MMM-GrafanaCharts and MMM-GrafanaGauges: Display you data with Charts and Gauges. Beautifully.
Regarding the black background I think it is solved. Maybe there was some kind of cache problem. After chaning the css files it looks perfect.

RE: MMM-GrafanaCharts and MMM-GrafanaGauges: Display you data with Charts and Gauges. Beautifully.
Tried this and it works fine. The simple way to show temperatures is this:

The more complicated but more fun way is this:

I have tried to use Grafana before but had problems with headers etc. Thanks to this module most problems are solved.
I get the data from my z Wave sensor http://aeotec.com/z-wave-sensor. This is connected to a raspberry running home assistant. On another raspberry I use influxdb and grafana. Home assistant is sending influx data to this PI. On the thirs Raspberry i run Magic mirror and the result is displayed. The only issue is that in dark light you can see the border and background in the graph even if it is set to black. Maybe this is just a feuture of the mm and the screen.
I also tried to use the same module to display if the door is locked or unlocked. I also get the data from home assistant.
-
RE: Graph module
Ok, Almost there. The gauge shows perfect on my mirror. Influx and Grafana is setup. I get the data from this sensor. http://aeotec.com/z-wave-sensor.
However I still get the grey/brown background on the mirror. Tried to set it to transperant and also modified the css files as described in a post before here. It is just not black. Any smart ideas?
-
RE: Graph module
@SvenSommer Very nice! I will try this as soon as I have reinstalled my old RPI. I have used the database to get info from home assistant so I can display graphs from my z wave sensor. However I am just wondering how it can display the graph as Grafana have a login page with password. Do I have to do something special in order to make this work.
-
RE: Graph module
@feedparakeet Thanks for sharing. I have really tried to remove the Grafana header but it wont work. Were able to replace the grey with black. Would it be possible for you to share your css files. Tried every setting in Grafana but it does not seem to be any good way to remove the header. Is the css files you have modified only for the snaphots and shared graphs?

RE: How HOT Does it Get?
I did some tests and here is my results. However my PI is located on the other side of the wall and not in the frame.
PI Without heatsink and with

With vent holes

Without holes

RE: My Mirror
I have still not made any vent holes to get rid of the heat from the monitor. I took a photo with my heat camera to see the change. Will post the photo after the vent holes soon. Notice that my reflection is generating some heat.

Calendar and displaying today
I have one issue about the calendar. I have looked in other posts but did not find any soloution. Or maybe I am just stupid.
I have a ical feed similar to this rss feed to display the food in the kids school. This works fine but as the publisher of the ical has set the time to 01:00 in the night as start todays entry will not be shown. Only the nextcoming days. How can I display the entry of today even if it started 01:00. http://skolmaten.se/hogadalskolan/rss/

{ module: 'calendar', header: 'SKOLMAT HÖGADAL', position: 'bottom_left', config: { maxTitleLength :50, calendars: [ { symbol: 'fa-cutlery', url: 'http://skolmaten.se/hogadalskolan/calendar/', timeFormat: 'relative', urgency: 0 }, -
RE: My Mirror
@broberg Tack, Jo jag läste om Pilkington med och jag kan ju lätt byta glas nu om jag vill. Har du köpt ett? Sitter själv i Götet men får väl kolla runt lite var man kan hitta glaset.
