@bkeyport Hi, I use an aluminum Dibond plate with a cut in the monitor size. This has the advantage that it is really dark behind the spy mirror. On the other hand, the plate in my large frame (100 x 54 cm) is also there to stiffen the frame. And finally, everything on the plate (controller, Raspberry, junction boxes, cables …) can be very nicely mounted / glued.
In this frame, the monitor then simply holds with a few tapes and two metal angles.

@qu1que Thanks a lot for your post.

The bottom button boots the Raspberry in a safe way (without simply turning off the power)

The top button controls the lights in the bathroom via a homematic webservice.

My first MagicMirror is now finished and mounted in our bathroom.

The following requirements had to be fulfilled:

• maximum woman acceptance factor
• minimum depth
• rimless mirror
• Mounting a LED light bar
• Integration into my Homematic installation
• Button to reboot the Raspberry pi
• Button for further control tasks
• Motion control

I have planned the mirror with SketchUp:

To connect the mirror to the power, I use a “cold device plug” (C13/C14 coupler). I split the former extension cable in the middle.

And that’s how the mirror looks finished

The following websites helped me with the construction and the configuration

I have used:

• Raspberry pi 3
• Beech wood from the hardware store
• Aluminium composite panel (ACP) with cutout (https://www.plattenzuschnitt24.de/ - german: Alu Dibond Platte)
• Spy mirror (https://www.glas-star.de/spionspiegelnachmass/chrome-spy-spiegel/)
• Silicone (PCI Silcofern S) Color: black (Important! Never use transparent silicone. Otherwise you will see it and regret it!)
• Screen (HP 22w (1CA83AA) 54.6 cm (21.5 inch) monitor (IPS, Full HD, HDMI) https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B0732RBR3J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc = 1)
• Radar motion detector (Amazon Haljia 5 RCWL-0516)

To fix the frame to the wall I use fittings as they are also used in the assembly of kitchen wall cabinets (see also picture 7). These are height-adjustable and depth-adjustable. The frame is fastened there over a vertical screw from above by the frame at the substructure. (see picture 24). I used these parts:

Download the Sketchup File

Addendum to the motion detector - radar detector:
In addition to the cutout for the monitor, I would now have an additional small cutout for the radar board (20 x 40 mm) made. The radar detector works perfectly, but unfortunately not through the Dibond plate. I had to fix it at the bottom of the frame. That’s OK, but it would have been perfect behind the mirror glass.

Hi
beforehand - I am a python beginner. Be nice ;-)

I want to change the display format of the date. My MagicMirror runs in German.

Instead of “today at xx.xx clock” or in German “Heute um xx.xx Uhr” only “xx.xx” should be displayed, as with later events in a few days. And instead of “Morgen um xx.xx Uhr” you should also see “xx.xx”.

In the translations, I first tried to set the translation of “today” and “tomorrow” to “”. Apparently, translation is not used by the calendar module. It was already clear to me that there must be something else because a translation of “at” or “um” did not occur.

So it’s probably a formatting function in python. But I fail.

Can someone help me?

And then another question, since I am also a github freshman. Should / can I make such a new version of Calendar available to all and if so, how do I do that.

thank you very much

greetings
Sepp

Hi,
I’ve a similar Problem with MMM-PIR-Sensor. However, my MagicMirror already starts with a black screen as soon as I insert the module. The config is almost identical.
