Momentary switch arrived from Amazon. It is a lovely little piece of kit. And it works just like the rocker switch so my code is good to go.

Now I just need to install it, wire it up and find a place to hang it.

Thanks all. I was thinking of cloning a memory card … but if duplicating the folder works then I can use that in the short term.

I can’t help with your mis-ordering. But at least it appears to be showing tasks - well done. I think I have successfully battled through the authentication process … but my Google Tasks doesn’t show anything.

I had a number of hit / miss attempts that I feel like scrapping it all and starting afresh. And taking step by step notes so that I can generate a list of what worked, what didn’t.

@sdetweil … thanks for the tip re alternate ssh clients. I will look at that.

I still need to work out the ipWhitelist thing … but it sounds like I can peek at my mm from any networked pc in the house. Does that include a mac?

Edit: Got ipwhitelist to work and both wife and I can see the mm from any location inside my network.

Excellent way of getting more from your mirror. I like the idea of the coat rack.

Is this a MM … or is it a coat rack?

Nice!

Smart Glass Mirror

I ordered a bunch of samples from Two Way Mirrors and had a bunch of very pleasant email exchanges with Krista.

• 8" x 8" Dielectric Mirror Sample - 1/8" (3mm) Thickness
• 8" x 8" Glass Two Way Mirror Sample 1/4" (6mm) Thickness
• 6" x 6" (152x152mm) Acrylic Two Way Mirror Sample - 1/4" (6mm) Thickness
• 8" x 8" Glass Smart Mirror Sample - 1/8" (3mm) Thickness

The Dielectric mirror says it goes in front of a regular TV and turns the TV into a mirror when the TV is off. This was a purchase because I could … not for the MM. An interesting concept that I will need to get spousal approval for.

The other three were testing. Do I want acrylic? Do I want glass? What type of glass? I have to tell you, the Glass Smart Mirror killed, absolutely killed the others. It is a mirror with the monitor off and absolutely disappears with the monitor on. I haven’t tested it in front of my MM screen yet … I will have to see how the wallpaper module interacts with the glass. I am pretty sure I am keeping the glass … so the wallpaper module might have to go.

I put in an order for a piece of ‘smart mirror’ after ordering a number of samples. The Smart Mirror option is really cool. Much better than the other options. The issue … it is expensive.

It is being delivered today. I am planning on having everything wrapped up, installed, additional border added, location for momentary switch, etc, etc finalized by the weekend.
