The Mirror is used daily and I have upgraded from a RPi 3 to a NUC instead to get more CPU-Power to play with.

@sdetweil Thanks!

I could not find a “good enough” Home Assistant Module for the Mirror, so I forked and developed a bit on the one I thought worked the best.

Description:

Adds the defined Home Assistant Sensors to your Magic Mirror.

Simplest possible:

@ooskay Hi! I get this error to. What modules do you run in your mirror? I think it may be one of my modules causing the problem.

This is my list:
calendar_monthly
mm-hide-all
MMM-CalendarExt
MMM-Chart
MMM-cryptocurrency
MMM-Globe
MMM-iFrameReload
MMM-JSONStatusChecker
MMM-Memo
MMM-Modulebar
MMM-ModuleScheduler
MMM-MotionEye
MMM-MyCalendar
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-newsfeedtouch
MMM-plex-recently-added
MMM-Profilepicture
MMM-ProfileSwitcher
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Sonos
mmm-suncalc
MMM-TextClock
MMM-Tools
MMM-TouchNavigation
MMM-WunderGround

What do you have?

@andurii I get the same error message “Couldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the console” but the monitor turn on…

I have tow desktops as well, the Mirror shows up on one of them… I can use (in VNC) CTRL + ALT + Right or Left arrow key to switch between virtual desktops.

@andurii Hmm… Sounds like your monitor has gone to standby.
Login via SSH:

Make a sh file named: monitor.sh

Add the flowing to the file:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == 'on' ]; then
  tvservice -p;
  chvt 6;
  chvt 7;
fi

if [ "$1" == 'off' ]; then
  tvservice -o
fi

Then make it executable with: chmod +x monitor.sh
Turn on them monitor it like this: ./monitor.sh on
Turn it off like this: ./monitor.sh off

And of course, make sure you are on the correct input to actually see the Pi…

That should “turn on” (or off) the screen from SSH.

Hi @korevaartje, If I remember correctly you need to use a URL to the picture. You cant use a “local” path. I’m currently loading all the pictures from an “internal” web server (that I use for lot’s of other stuff as well). And that made it easy to switch the pictures without having to change anything on the actual MM.

I hope that clarify’s it.

Hi all!
Just wanted you all to know that you CAN actually use an Airtame to display the mirror!
If you setup a “serveronly” instance of MM and then point your Airtame’s “Homescreen Backround” to a website and enter the URL to your MM (Server) there. It shows up!

Of course you cant have any “touch” functionality and other “intelligence” on the Airtame. But if you just want to display stuff without interaction directly on the device it works great! You can also still use the “MMM-Remote” module to control what’s displayed on the device of course. Or why not MMM-Scheduler…

I have tried this on an Airtime running with firmware version 3.0.0-b6.

Enjoy!

@stacywebb Thank you! I’ll try it out as soon as I got some time. Have you compared with a Pi3?

@Antflips Hi, nope unfortunately not. It is still “misbehaving”. You can use the “lock” mechanism in “Profile Switcher” if you want, but it’s then locking all hidden modules. Then it works, but then you can not un-hide with any hidden modules with other module. And that’s what I wanted to be able to do.
