    • RE: 27" Kitchen Dashboard

      Aboslutely outstanding!

      I did a similar build (down to the recessed outlet and french cleat).

      I used a PiZero2 to keep things as thin as possible, but I see your build uses a full-sized Pi and looks great – the thickness looks prportionate.

      I bet your guests say ‘whoa!’ everytime they see it.

    • RE: My Fallout (PipBoy) inspired MagicMirror

      I loved the first two games and enjoyed the show; great idea!

      Can I make a few suggestions?

      1. Add the PipBoy logo giving a thumbs up somewhere.

      2. Maybe add a module for air quality or pollen count? Then rename the header to “Daily Radiation Count” or something similar.

      3. Use a custom compliments module and make the compliments fake news headlines apropos to the Fallout universe:
        “Cooper Howard Movie Marathon this Friday in Vault 32”
        “Brotherhood of Steel now hiring shitters”
        “Lost: Gross head with a chip in it. Reward offered, no questions asked”

      Love this creativity I keep seeing with MagicMirror; congrats!

    • RE: Ecobee

      All good – I rebooted instead of reload and got the info to link.

      Thanks for the great module and your help!

    • RE: Ecobee

      I’m afraid I’m stumped – I just have a spinning circle where the module loads. No instructions on the MM screen. I checked with “ls -l” and the user is set as the owner.

      I’m a little dense today – where do I find the API code to authorize?

    • RE: MM digital display hung like a picture

      @jbat66, that’s fantastic. I’ll experiment with that when I do a refresh of the whole deal. Thank you!

    • RE: MM digital display hung like a picture

      @rrslssr , I took the monitor to Michaels and asked for a custom frame and matte. I told them I wanted a 2.5" mat out to the frame (make sure to specify the display only, not display plus bezels).

      Then I picked a frame that I liked that met the minimum depth requirements for the Pi Zero 2.

      I also made sure I got gallery glass, which has an antireflective coating.

      They kept messing up the matte and I ended up going to Hobby Lobby. They recut the matte correctly and even cut the foam core used to hold everything in place.

      One other thing – it looks like @rrslssr is running a similar approach specifically for travel photos – and I want to share a tip.

      My mirror runs a combination of some of my own travel photos and places I’ve been from Unsplash.

      To make the modules more legible and pop better, I made a photoshop template. The top layer is a very light transparent to black (from the center) radial gradient. My backgrounds are the lower layer.

      This applies a very light vignetting that is consistent among all the background images. I experimented until I found the gradient settings for the top layer that were perfect to my eyes.

      I’m sure there are easier or smarter ways to add vignetting, but this works for me.

    • RE: Altering a Module

      I want to do the exact same thing down the road when I need a new project to tinker with.

      Love it and thank you for posting the question and thank you to Sam for working through the solution.
