Hi @bachoo786 ,

Thanks for the praise. My pleasure. I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

1. It’s probably possible. But I wanted a larger amount of silicone to hold the heavy mirror. If you only glue the mirror to the panel, the silicone is only applied very thinly if you don’t want the mirror to protrude too much.

2. The cut-out in the back panel matches the monitor very closely. This holds the monitor in a vertical position. The tape just has to make sure that the monitor does not tilt backwards out of the cutout. I simply stuck the tape on the panel all around the monitor. Later I still screwed small metal angles on the top and bottom of the wooden frame, which press slightly on the monitor.

3. The mirror shows no distortion. You can’t see the back panel or the silicone. There is only one spot on the top edge of the mirror (which can only be found if you look very closely and find it once :-) ) where you can see the silicone bead. At this place I was very sparing with the silicone. Therefore you can see the wooden frame at this place, when light falls from above into the gap between mirror and wooden frame.

I hope this helps.

Why are you asking about the groove? Don’t you have a way to make the grooves? If you like, I can mill and send you the frame. We would have to calculate the costs of shipping and then see if it’s worth it.

Hi Sam,
yes, I had always asked myself that, but I am still a Javascript Newby. I got the code from a forum post. After it worked with the first pattern, I thought, that’s because of my low JavaScript knowledge.

I have now changed it with your help. And now it works.

Thank you very much!
Sepp

Hi,

I intercept a webservice call via node_helper.js. Now I wanted to handle two more webservice calls. Unfortunately this doesn’t work.

my code:

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper")
var async = require('async');
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

...

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
	
	start: function() {
		//console.error('Starting node helper: ' + this.name);
		var self = this;
		
		// Updateinterval ändern über Aufruf http://127.0.0.1:8080/MMM-CaravanPiPosition/changeUpdateInterval
		this.expressApp.get('/' + this.name + '/changeUpdateInterval', function (req, res) {
			res.send('Change UpdateInterval from '+ myUpdateInterval);
			self.changeUpdateInterval();
		});
		
		// Kalibrierung anzeigen über Aufruf http://127.0.0.1:8080/MMM-CaravanPiPosition/setCalibration
		this.expressApp.get('/' + this.name + '/setCalibration', function (req, res) {
			res.send('set Calibration');
			valueListNHCaravanPiPosition[0]["cal"] = 1;
		});
		
		// Kalibrierung löschen über Aufruf http://127.0.0.1:8080/MMM-CaravanPiPosition/unsetCalibration
		this.expressApp.get('/' + this.name + '/unsetCalibration', function (req, res) {
			res.send('unset Calibration');
			valueListNHCaravanPiPosition[0]["cal"] = 0;
		});
	},
...

The call of http://127.0.0.1:8080/MMM-CaravanPiPosition/changeUpdateInterval works as desired.

The calls of http://127.0.0.1:8080/MMM-CaravanPiPosition/setCalibration and … unsetCalibration does not work.

Instead the error message Cannot GET /MMM-CaravanPiPosition/setCalibration is displayed.

what am i doing wrong? can’t several different webservice calls be processed?

Thanks for every help

Sepp

@HayyatAli
I’ve already built four or five magic mirrors now. I always proceed the same way:

• Buying the Raspberry Pi, as @nischi has already posted
• Buy a monitor the size you want to install later.
  Please make sure that you get a monitor that switches to sleep mode without a signal on HDMI and does not switch to a completely green or blue screen for minutes before :-)
• Installation of Raspian
• Installing Magic Mirror
  (just follow the hint from @nischi here)
• Installation of additional components such as motion detectors or a button to reboot the Raspberry
• then run the whole thing without wooden frame and mirror for a few days/weeks to detect bugs, try modules, detect incompatibilities, etc.
• Construction of a frame from e.g. wood
  Then take measurements for the mirror glass.
• Purchase of a spy mirror
• Assembly of components

Here you can find a building instruction for my big mirror in the bathroom. I mounted an aluminium plate behind the spy mirror, which gives the whole thing stability, holds the monitor elegantly and ensures that no light falls through the spy mirror from behind.

@TipsyNurse @Mykle1
this could be found already in the extra file Timezone codes ;-)

Maybe it’s time to take all time codes out of the readme and put them all into the extra file. In my opinion it’s slowly getting confusing.

And of course I already did the work, see my latest pull request

And sorry, I can’t keep my hands off your modules because I love open source and distributed development … ;-)

Josef

@thedoorsfanatic
Leider ist auch nach einer Stunde die Situation nicht anders.
Wenn du die Config mit mir durchgehen willst, würde mir das sehr helfen.
über PN?

@thedoorsfanatic
ok, war für dieses Projekt nicht aktiviert. Ist es jetzt seit ein paar Minuten.
Leider funktioniert es immer noch nicht. Gleicher Effekt wie vorher.

eigentlich ja, aber ich kontrolliere das gleich nochmal

Hi ihr beiden,

Vielen Dank, das hilft auch mir.

Wie habt ihr denn das mit dem API Key gelöst? Bei mir kommt immer die “Google-nicht-mehr-kostenlos-Anzeige” “Google Maps kann … nicht richtig geladen werden”.

Der Key ist eingerichtet und eingeschränkt auf API und eine lokale IP-Adresse (wie in der Doku bei Google dargestellt). Anscheinend mach ich dennoch etwas falsch …

Wäre für eine Tipp dankbar!

Viele Grüße

Sepp

Very good job! Gratulations!
