Hi Mirror Enthusiasts,

Status update:
I’ve decided NOT to use a mirror.

As some others here I will implement this as a signage monitor and mount this in our living room at a convenient wall.

Reason for this: Our mirrors are mounted in our hallways - where we are present really seldom…

And the “mirror” is a really beauty and in addition all of the showed information is that useful that we “need” this more frequently.
So I’ve ordered a 32’’ display today and will mount this in a wooden (may baroque’esce) frame with a passepartout.
Will keep you posted.

Warmest regards,
Ralf

@olex.s @sdetweil , dear all,

As you know for sure I‘m really a fan of MMM-Pir - for (my) good reasons.
For a friend of mine I‘ve build a second mirror and because he is heavily engaged in smarten his home :-) I‘ve considered to use alternatives to a PIR sensor - because they are definitely unsmart…
With this I‘ve seeked for an integration for his homee solution which is not really capable for MQTT and randomly found a really cool device which I would like to share with you, guys!
This is not a „motion“ sensor but a real „presence“ sensor (radar based, not infrared) which even is able to identify a silently sitting person!
In addition this genius thingy talks MQTT, delivers the „presence“ status in a JSON object and so it is absolutely easy to use it with magic mirror and the herein presented module MQTTScreenOnOff.

This sensor is pretty expensive and invented and build by a small startup here in Germany 🇩🇪 .
You can find this sensor here.
The webpage is in German but for some reason the default UI is in English :-)
From my perspective this is defnitely worth the money (this is the fourth radar sensor I‘ve bought but the first one which is in the near of „working“)

The mqttTopic transmitted is: „tele/senvolon/STATE“ and the mqttPayloadOccupancyField is „presence“.
(The middle part is configurable in the sensor‘s UI, I‘ve decided to use vendor‘s name).

I REALLY miss the nice animation and the dimming of MMM-Pir but I‘m definitely thinking about to use this sensor as well.
(Which would be a major effort because my Mirror has an exact slot for the PIR sensor which is round and this sensor is squared so I will have to do some rough wood-work. On the other hand I MAY place the sensor away from the mirror on the opposite wall or in an other place and hide the hole from PIR sensor ….)

Nice MQTT module - thanks for this idea!

Warmest regards,
Ralf

One question: Do you have Netatmo installed and running at home as hardware and searching in MM…?

Nope, Netatmo not used by me …

@Jose1701 Dear Jose,
you are referring to my post but may I’m the wrong person.
You may ask the developer, @xIExodusIx, too.

As I’m not knowing exactly what your problem is, I just can guess what’s going on…
from configuration perspective I do not see an issue - mine is similar.
As I wrote before I only have ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ in use, NOT ‘MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call’,

For ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ I’m aware of some problems, but I do not know if this aligns with your problems.

• do you have the right (actual) fork? in my case this was https://github.com/xIExodusIx/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3.git
• I’m not sure if this is correct: In your config a username is missing. As far as I’m aware of you have to use a username/password combination - therefore I remember that I had to create a separate user for using the module.
• there were some requirements for the module - some python libraries as I remember correctly. - Do you have installed them in a proper version?

This is the “guessing” version.
If you could describe the “problem” more exact or concrete may we get other ideas…

Good luck!
Regards,
Ralf

Hi all,
work in progress :-)
I’ve played around, tried a lot and have found a couple of additional information, worth to show up on our mirror.
I’m really happy that one of the additions is an idea of my wife - this seems like a sign of “acceptance” …
Today in the morning she states “we are looking at earth… - The moon is missing”.

Voilá -

(screenshot, not photo)

Modified: strava (less disciplines).

Added:
fuel prices (MMM-Fuel) ,
moon (MMM-MoonPhase),
a countdown to event (MMM-EventHorizon) and a
custom background (MMM-Profilepicture).

Warmest regards and much fun with your own mirror,
Ralf

@sdetweil OK, have pulled update and disabled debug options again.
Keep you posted.
THANKS for your effort!

Ralf

@mediahypno
I guess to get both - easyness and cheapness is not possible…

As far as I have seen pictures around and read several comments here in this forum I got the impression that best result will be with glass - this is kind of expensive.

The cheaper version with Acrylic is not that “brilliant” and there are may some restrictions in the viewing angle.

The least expensive so cheapest version is the foil - this is the far most complicated one because you have to apply the foil on some kind of Acrylic or glass which often fails due to bubbles, scratches, dust or whatever.

I definitely wanted to go for glass.

In the meantime I have decided to build up a “Magic Signage” not a mirror.
This is caused by the fact that the already build up prototype is present since several weeks in our living room and we visit this beauty several times a day.
So the final version will stay nearby - at least in the living room and a mirror at this place doesn’t make any sense to us.
(initially planned was to replace the mirror in the hallway but this becomes obsolete for the above reasons)

HTH,

Ralf

@Cr4z33 Good afternoon,
I do not have the time to dig too deep into MMM-MQTTbridge …
But what I see checking your console logfile and compare this to your first posting:
You obviously had managed that the MQQT message arrives and is acknowledged.

.
The message you receive is:

{
    "Action": "Pulse",
    "Code": "Invite",
    "Data": {
        "CallID": "5",
        "IsEncryptedStream": false,
        "LocaleTime": "2025-04-30 10:40:43",
        "LockNum": 2,
        "RealUTC": 1746002443,
        "SupportPaas": false,
        "TCPPort": 37777,
        "UTC": 1746006043.0,
        "UserID": "101"
    },
    "Index": 0,
    "deviceType": "DHI-VTO3311Q-WP",
    "serialNumber": "****"
}

This is what you trying to capture in your mqttDisctionary.js
I’m not 100% sure if you

1. catch the right data-value : - is your jsonpath correct?
2. is “notiID” the right place for the module name you try to reach?

Just spontaneous thoughts about your issue - maybe misleading …

Ralf

@andrenajolly - most interesting is: what length is “full length” ?
From this it depends for sure how to build the frame and how to choose right glass (kind of glass, thickness) …

Kind regards,
Ralf

@costascontis , If I got you right, this seems to be a web page. So i can imagine, this could be a candidate for MMM-SmartWebDisplay.

Check it out.
Good luck!
Ralf
