@djdwayneanthony Also here is my custom.css - it is only colour changes for the Weather forecast and not my work - copied from someone else’s post here…

I have removed api keys, destinations, etc so anything in ITALICS you would require adding your own variable here as described in the modules.

The Modules I used are:
alert (default module)
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Snow (I only configure this ON during the holiday period!)
clock (default module)
calendar (default module)
currentweather (default module)
weatherforecast (default module)
MMM-NetworkScanner
calendar_monthly
newsfeed (default module)
MMM-Traffic (used three times, for different commutes)
mmm-systemtemperature
updatenotification (default module)

@Cato It always triggers when it should. The sensor is quite powerful though in that it will work through stud walls… even with the sensitivity at the lowest setting! Not really a problem as the Mirror is downstairs in the house so when people are in the mirror is ‘on’ but come bed time and when the house is unoccupied the mirror turns off.

Here is my first MagicMirror:

Rear View:
alt text
(the green tape covers the very sensitive motion sensor, I went for this one in the end: http://tinyurl.com/jdkb9fw)

The frame was made from Pine, stained with varnish.
Vent holes in the top and bottom, small fan in the top to aid airflow.
The bottom holes also allow for a few Status LED’s (Monitor power / PIR trigger) and also allow access to a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity of the PIR.
I also extended 2x USB ports from the Pi to the bottom of the mirror so that I can plug in a keyboard/mouse for maintenance purposes whilst the mirror is still mounted on the wall.

If there is no PIR trigger for a few minutes the Pi disables HDMI output, putting the monitor into Standby. Detection to monitor back on is 4 seconds, since the sensor is very sensitive I never see the monitor powering back up.
