By the way, if you’re interested, we have a telegram group in Spanish about the magic mirror / smart mirror. We are not many members for now, but maybe someone can give you some more information about what you are looking for.

This is the link: https://t.me/smartmirrorRPI

Que tamaño buscas? en el enlace puedes seleccionar varias medidas para la lámina acrílica. Si te interesara un espejo de cristal (más caro), hay un usuario en el foro que vende 2 a un 10% de descuento. Este es el enlace: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8421/i-sell-2-x-two-way-mirrors-out-of-remnant-stock-with-10-discount

What size are you looking for? in the link you can select several measurements for the acrylic sheet. If you are interested in a glass mirror (more expensive), there is a user in the forum that sells 2 to 10% off. This is the link: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8421/i-sell-2-x-two-way-mirrors-out-of-remnant-stock-with-10-discount

I will post this with your permission in a telegram group in Spanish, of which I am an administrator, in case there is someone interested.

I bought the acrylic sheet on Amazon USA (amazon.com). This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017ONH3EG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@MichMich A lot of SPAM!

Finally, I’ve finnished my script, and it works like a charm. I paste it here if someone else need it.

#!/usr/bin/python3

# PACKAGES NEEDED TO WORK:  sudo apt install python3 python3-rpi.gpio

# My screen has an USB port, that turns on when screen is on, and off when screen is off.
# So, I made a voltage divider with a few resistors to get 3 volts, to activate pin 6 (BCM) 
# on the raspberry Pi. In this way, the script can 'know' if Screen is ON or OFF.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess
from subprocess import call

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN)		                  # PIR's output
GPIO.setup(6, GPIO.IN)                            # Screen power detector
GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.OUT)	                  # Relay Input
GPIO.setwarnings(False)

while (GPIO.input(6) == 0):                       # IF SCREEN IS ON
    if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):                     # PIR DETECTS MOTION
        call(('/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd', ' display_power', '1'))
        GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)                # RELAY ACTIVATION
        time.sleep(3)
        GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(60)                            # THE TIME WE WANT THE SCREEN TO STAY ON
        if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):                 # IF PIR DETECTS A NEW MOVEMENT, 
            time.sleep(60)                        # ACTIVATES THE MIRROR ANOTHER AMOUNT OF SECONDS
        else:
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)           # WITH THIS LINE, THE SCREEN POWERS OFF TO SAVE ENERGY
            time.sleep(3)
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)	
    else:
        GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)

        call(('/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd', ' display_power', '1'))
        GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)               # SAME AS ABOVE, BUT THIS TIME DON'T ACTIVATE THE RELAY
        time.sleep(60)
        if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):
            time.sleep(60)

I’ve tried that script yesterday, but it didn’t work for me. Thanks anyway

Hello, Have you already solved this issue? I am with the same idea, I have the PIR, a 3.3V relay and a python script so that, when it detects presence, the relay is activated and makes contact on the button to turn the screen on or off.

The sript I’m using is this:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)

while True:
    if GPIO.input(22):
      	GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)
    else:
	GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)

PIR output is connected on pin 22 (BCM). Relay input is connected on pin 25 (BCM).

This simple script works correctly, but I want to go one step further. With this crypt, the screen is turned on or off when detecting presence.

My idea is that (when the screen is off), when detecting presence, the screen will turn on for a while (for example 5 minutes), and then turn off again.

For that purpose, I made this modification on the original script:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import commands

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)

while True:
    if GPIO.input(22):
      	GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)
        commands.getoutput('vcgencmd display_power 1')
        time.sleep (300)
        commands.getoutput('vcgencmd display_power 0')
    else:
	GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)

But this modification doesn’t work. Could someone help me with this? My knowledge in python is very elementary

@mykle1 Thanks. Cool module! I will try it.

@spectroman

Hi, I’ve been using the mmm-moon-phases module for a couple of months without a problem, until yesterday. Suddenly, it stopped working. I tried to re-install it, but it does not load the image of the moon. Which may be due?

I think the problem is that in the module git page https://github.com/spectroman/mmm-moon-phases, on the cache directory there isn’t any image of the moon, bu ti’m not sure…

My installation of Magic Mirror is in a raspberry pi Zero W. It is a shame, because it is a module that I consider quite interesting.

Thanks.
