In fact it is not. There are lots of usecases to reuse displays and there are several companies on ebay (and alibaba and such) selling these controller boards. It is just lacking support for uncommon displays.

Hm, this is no real usecase for me. The mirror - at least for me - is a technical and modern way to replace old fashioned paper calendars / schedulers with some addons like weather forecast, traffic jams and public transport delays, without having to use the smartphone.
I don’t want to browse websites while brushing my teeth or view the latest news while taking a shower :)

@dinkybluebug245

it looks like this.

If I change it to timeFormat: 'absolute' I see the real date (e.g. November 26th) but still no time.

Hi, I haven’t played around with the module for a long time and I don’t have a magic mirror in use currently.
I will try to take a look into this tomorrow, but I cannot promise.

@johnnyboy
run sudo apt-get autoremove. SUDO says “I’m root” ;)

According to his config on github he uses MMM-WunderGround

I received a pull request on github which replaced the apiBase. I did not know the standard XMLHttpRequest() can handle https as well. You should be able to git pull on your device to update the version.
Sure, play around with it and present it. WorldTides was my first module, there is a lot of space for improvement.

In fact there are several mirror projects using medicine cabinets and similar things.
I won’t go this route for several reasons.

1. If you go for the cabinet and still want to use it you have to live with the cabling and the technical components being visible while the cabinet is open.
2. Cabinets are available in several sizes, but you have to adjust your mirror to the cabinet. If you build the mirror yourself you are free defining sizes.
3. Users like me want to go for slim cases instead of “thick” cases standing away from the wall.
4. As you already assumed several users like to build things. It’s not just having/using the mirror, it’s about building everything on your own.

Of course it is absolutely legit buying a complete case/housing and start from there.

@johnnyboy said in Not really a mirror at all - but is really helpful:

@yawns
Cant see picture of his mirror… can you add it again please?

There should be a comma after the ], if I’m not mistaken
