I would use a raspberry pi 4 but your need get a good way powering it up as it need a power supple with 3.1 amps

MagicMirror 2

I am using a raspberry pi 3 as it easer to get power to the pi but its up to you which one to go with .

just think of how you going to get right amps to the pi so you only have to use one cable TV Monitor laptop screen with driver board.
when i did my first magic mirror i solder the wire inside an 3amp power plug that fitted into the back of my mirror you could do that with a raspberry pi 4 plug a spur from the main incoming with to your monitor TV etc.

anyone have a better way of powering up the pi 4 to tv

I have not setup your app yet , every time I add the remote file to my config in stop what am I doing wrong

{
module: ‘MMM-Remote-Control’
// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
// , position: ‘bottom_left’
// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
config: {
customCommand: {}, // Optional, See “Using Custom Commands” below
customMenu: “custom_menu.json”, // Optional, See “Custom Menu Items” below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: “”, // Optional, See API/README.md for details
}
},

I set this up on my old mirror and it worked please change the code so it will work.
or am I just pasting it in wrong?

@lavolp3 Hi my remote install not working
When l add the file with brackets in the right place
It stops my mirror as if l’ve put the code in wrong?
I installed the manual install , copied and past the file into the config file but it didn’t work,

I have my googlephotos working and my calendar working, and weather.

Not sure what l’am doing wrong.

If you have config file copy config.sample
Start again copy the sample file to your documents and downloads.
Remove sample from the configuration file
Start again
Remember start with {
Code
Ends in },

It’s not always easy to see what’s wrong as the code you are using could be wrong .

as l’ve not used this module l cannot say
Keep trying your get their in the end
If it go wrong it’s easy to start again.

Hi l see your having a similar problem as when add the script into my config file it stops l also remove the //
To position it a the left bottom but it still didn’t work
I set the IP. 0.0.0.0 and closed brackets []
Set up any one on my IP address
But it still no working.

I know we should get a IP address on bottom of the mirror to type into our phone which open up app controller.

If any can help us both please reply.

Hi got my Google photos to load instead of in
Stalling the magicmirror script with auto script
I used manual install script to install magicmirror
Then it all worked .
Hope this helps
I keep old sd card and started fresh install,on a new sd card.

@sdetweil Hi auto install script Magic Mirror did not work for me .
So I used the Manual install method and it all works.
The only Problem I had is there was no custom .CSS folder
So I had to use the main one . I of course made a copy of it.

It you get a nice Tv a remote may helpful and if it’s used as photo frame roll over magic mirror and it may have two HDMI socket it can be used a second screen for pc and its cheaper. Most monitors only have one Hdmi in low cost range . If their used as mirror in my opinion if you can get laptop screen with a drive board its best as its so slim . Monitors are slimmer then tv’s but can cost more ,pictures quietly is not an issue a you most seeing the mirror.
Deciding what best depends on your pocket if you go with glass it’s much better than film the cost between acylic or glass is about 25 pound more if you look around . It’s more about weight it can get very heavy.

Best thing to is it up a Tv you have and get it all working with add-on modules on the same size your going to use
Before deciding.

Hope my opinion has been helpful

Ok l give it a go thanks
