I Have finished the script, I have a link to the git repo for it here https://git.serverforge.org:8082/Wered/rpi-mm-tempcontrol and i have installation instructions/Config guide here https://wiki.serverforge.org/index.php/Tempcontrol

I was running into the same issue with not being able to disable the relative days, My issue was that when something was set to “The day after tomorrow” it made the module far to wide and overwrote other modules(Im using an older low res screen). To fix this I edited the file at MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendar.js and replaced line 237 with the entry below, I changed it to two days which is much shorter but you can change it to whatever you want.

timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(this.translate(“Two Days”));

The line originally was.

timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(this.translate(“DAYAFTERTOMORROW”));

I have the aliuminum heat sinks on mine aswell however the monitors used in the box are quite old and generate most of the heat, but even still mine hovers around 55C currently.

It requires no gpio, its just a simple bash script that turns on an off the display based on time and temperatures

Apt method will only work on ubuntu currently, the manual install should work if done correctly though, is it giving you an error when you try to run it?

@chieftainSupreme What distro are you running on your pi?

Mine doesnt get quite that hot, I put a small vent openings on the back of mine to allow the heat to escape and i wrote a cron job to check the temperature and if it gets over 70c it will turn off the display which reduces the temperature quite a bit and it waits for it to get back to 55c before turning back on. I also set it to shut down the pi too and not come back on if it gets over 80c, Im currently in the process of adding a time control to the script so it will shut off durring certain hours of the day for power saving and if its in an area where you dont want any light at night such as in a bedroom. I will post it with installation instructions once it is finished and undergone a little testing. Here is how the inside of my box looks for comparison.

I built my smart mirror this weekend, It contains 2 older 15 inch LCD monitors i had laying around and 2 PI 3s, They are built into a shadow box that has a mirror on the front and the ambient temperature in the box seems to sit around 90 degrees F, I have some ventilation but i wanted to see what other peoples were sitting at.
