O.K. , sorry my fault…Wrong expression from my side “first fetch” means first complete fetch (so ALL data fetched).
In addition I accidentally switched the begin and end…
So correct view is

waitFetch:  17000,  //  MM starts: 10:44:49.288   minus  complete calender fetch at: 10:45:06.206 = 16.918 ms

Sorry for my mistake.
And thanks for your explanation!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil , sorry, I didn’t get you…
what do you mean by this?

I have set refreshinterval at 180000 - 3 Minutes.
this may triggers appearance of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda …

I’m not able to identify the startup of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda in the log.

If I consider the difference between Mirror-startup and first calender fetching as the “right” fetching time

[2025-01-24 10:44:49.288] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.30.0 

[2025-01-24 10:45:05.760] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 22 events from https://www.feiertage-deutschland.de/
[2025-01-24 10:45:06.206] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 21 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar

it should be around 16,9 seconds - is this the right assumption?.

At least with

waitFetch:  17000,  //  start: 0:45:06.206 -  first calender fetch: 10:44:49.288 = 16.918 ms 

MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda appears “faster” than before …

@MMRIZE @sdetweil ,
thanks for this.
I’ve played around with waitFetch which doesn’t help.
But with your justification I have to investigate deeper and find the right value.

Warmest regards,

Dear team,
I have upgraded my monitor and so I could use a higher resolution for the screen.
Coming from 1.920x1.080 I’ve tried 2.560x1.440 which really looks great.

Unfortunately MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda (which I use for calendar representation) disappears after every single restart of the mirror.
This is true for the display itself as well as for a headless (remote) VNC session.
Interesting enough the webbrowser SHOWS the module!

After some time has passed calender appears suddenly (not sure which event this triggers).

Currently I’m clueless.
(It happens earlier that MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda disappeared after a Raspberry-Reboot but a restart of MagigMirror corrects this)

Any idea/hint from the experts?

Thanks a LOT!
Regards,
Ralf

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

Addition: I forgot to mention that in the meantime the PIR sensor is here and is working after some “trouble”.
Ininitially this tiny bastard demolites my WLAN on the Raspi so I have bought a new one (Raspi).
It’s possible that there is no causality and the raspi broke for other reasons. But initially when I took power away from PIR WLAN recovers…
Today the new Raspi and PIR are living together without trouble.

Second tricky part was the justification of the sensor - there are two adjusments screws: one of them for the sensitivity and the other one for the length of signal.

First lesson: SMALL adaptions, LONG break to see the “real” behaviour.
Second lesson: Build a housing for the naked sensor.
I Printed a tiny box with a kind of funnel, housing the fresnel lens so the overall sensitivity (viewing angel) becomes lower…

Now it works reliably like a charm…

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

Dear @wyovino ,
my shame, you are right.
To be honest, acrylic or foil are no variant for me.
In my first approach I’was thinking about 120x60cm, in the meantime I have found two existing mirrors in household - 190x80 and 150x90.
All three possible dimensions - at least for me - are candidates for glass for sure.
I’ve ordered a sample package and currently I’m figuring out which one ist the right.
For sure it will be 6mm, not sure is the brand.
I’ve sapmles from Mirropane Chrome spy which is referenced quite often in this forum.
Alternatively I have a local brand “Mirastar” which looks nice as well (nicer, to be honest :-) ).
Marketing wise (from website) Mirropane sounds “better”, but we tend (from eye’s perspective) to Mirastar.
Next step is talking to vendor - the online ordering form doesn’t allow my bigger dimensions -120x60 is maximum.

But anyway: Thanks a lot for your kind hint!

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil from your perspective :-)
Just had a deeper look into code and I didn’t understand that much…
