Very interesting :)
I’ll try to get my setup up-to-date in the upcoming weeks. Afterwards I could happily give your beta a test run 😎

I recently replaced the PIR sensor of my mirror with this microwave radar sensor:

I mounted behind the mirror glass and it works like a charm. It’s compatible with @Paviros PIR module / can be used as drop in replacement fir the PIR sensor.

I removed the controller (which has just USB) and replaced it with a controller from eBay that has HDMI, VGA, etc.:

eBay item 360626141655 :)

I used an Asus MB169B+

Hi @emlowe
Your screen looks great! :)

I really like your 3day-view on the bottom of the screen. Can you share your customizations?

Well done! :)

@mantha
The image of the car interieur is from the Mercedes Connect Me webapp, isn’t it? 👍 Did you manage to show/control the auxheat from your mirror?

@broberg said in Dark Material UI:

@sero well, the reason there is mostly white on black is because the mirror glass usually eats up all the small changes in dark colors.

In my case with very little light transmission your idea wouldn’t show at all,

High contrast interfaces usually gives the best smartmirror appearence at the moment.

Thanks for your reply @broberg!
Yes, you are right. The colors of my example are probably to dark - I just thought, that slightly lighter colors might be visible and create the effect I´m looking for.

Hi Mirror-Lovers :)

I was wondering if anyone besides me would like to see a UI that is oriented towards a dark Material UI theme. I´m thinking of dark boxes (–> cards) with subtle shadows instead of the currently used “white (or colored) text on black”.

Since my explanation is probably not very vivid, here is a dribble of a weather card:

I´m still waiting for my mirror glass, but in my imagination this looks quite nice :D
What do you think? Maybe we can create a “Dark Material UI Theme” as an alternative to the current UI.

I´m certainly not a CSS ninja, but I´d definitely help to make this happen :thumbsup:

Go go go guys! :)

Hi mfasi

What did you do with the Ikea Mirror to make it transparent?

He just used the frame and inserted a mirror pane from “Glass Trösch” (Switzerland).
