Actually I would love to see such a list for recommended parts. There are so many options and much more things to consider for building a magic mirror (like a good quality mirror, a good and thin monitor, recommendations for shops or simply a “shopping list” for parts you need).

Yes, @sdetweil ist right. We focus in the software, but actually we would not run ist without the right hardware.

@sdetweil Thanks for your effort! For my Magic Mirror Instances I try to use/install the node version installed by MagicMirror, but yeah -“nvm” ist a great tool in the node ecosystem.

Thanks for your work and the updates script ♥️

@rkorell Which shop did you use for your glases? I’ve ordered mine at glasstar.de, but yes - not cheap!

@rkorell Thanks for all these detailed Information! I’ll setup your scripts on my MagicMirror Instances - I have 6 different ones to manage and at least one has some weird problems - maybe also relating to power issues.

Thanks und Vielen Dank :)

@rkorell Thanks for your Insights! Interesting!
One question: How you got the idea that the issue is caused by power/energy circumstances?
Are there any specific logs with those information?

And yes - it would be great to get an idea of your scripts :)

Description:

A MagicMirror² module for displaying random photos from your Nextcloud instance. Add tags parsed from exif information, add a Instgramm Blur effect or show your photos as greyscaled images,

Version 1.0.0

• First version adding the overall functioanilties.

@rkorell Thanks for publishing your great module. I already use it and hell yeah - it’s great :)
I was also able to make the needed modification to my “Buttons”-module using the node-libgpiod package. Main reason why it was not working was the missing postinstall script.

Thanks and “schöne Grüße” :)

@rkorell Do have any any resources for your current development? I’m also stucking at a similar problem handling GPIO for buttons using a Raspberry Pi 5.
Do you have a Github Repository?

Which comand to you use to turn of the monitor? Which OS do you use?
For controlling the monitor I use wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off on Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm…

Actually I’ve set up two mirrors last week. One turns the monitor off without any issues, the other one turns off the monitor, and wakes the monitor a few seconds later. Basically the same issue which you’ve observed.
I have no clue what makes the difference; maybe I’ve performed a apt-get full-upgrade on the second host, so any changes are applied here…

Actually your use case is what I am working on the last few weeks. Just to give you some information what I’m doing

• Setup my own Tailscale VPN using Headscale
  • This gives me the option to access all machine remotely.
• Setup my own Ansible Server using Semaphore UI
  • This allows me to push changes to the clients.
• Setup my own Rustdesk Service for remote-screen access
• Setup “raspberry pi connect” as fallback solution
• Setup of “kuma uptime” for monitoring all clients

For the actual (initial) system setup I use:

• Bash Scripts for initial setup and installations (basiclly what is not done by Ansible)
  • Separated into a “sudo” and “non sudo” script
• Ansible Playbook for 80% of software installation (Pi-Apps, Headscale-Config, some Helpers like Bash-Extentsions, uninstalling unneeded softwar, enable system services, …)
• Ansible Playbook for MagicMirror Installation
• Ansible Playbook for modules installation
• Ansible Playbook for some CRON Jobs

There a a couple of things/tasks left, which I need to do manually

• Preparing the config.js because every MagicMirror installation needs a different one
• Optimizing the scripts and ansible playbooks. It works for me, but some parameters would be great.
• Many things I do not remember here :D

The update process are something which I do not include in the automations. There are too many manual steps and checks to include. Apart from that I’ll try to avoid update as long as I can - never touch a running system ;)
