Dear mirror fans, for your information and reference some findings with my mirror. I’m running a MagicMirror on a PI5 with an NVME HAT as boot device. My first approach was to de-assemble an original Pi power supply (because of its form factor) and to build this internally into the mirror-frame. As reported earlier in a different thread this power supply died due to overheating. My next approach was to use a new PI-power supply - this time externally. Caused by the circumstances of my installation (power plug far below mirror position and Pi mounted on the top of the mirror) I have used a USB-C to USB-C cable (150cm, 5A) to extend the standard-cable. As it turns out now this wasn’t a good idea, ether: It worked pretty long (several weeks) good and without any problem. But since some days I got more and more really stubborn WLAN losses which were often unrecoverable - only plugging out power supply to reforce a restart helped (I’m working headless as majority of you). In the meantime I was able to implement a tiny service which automatically detects the connectivity loss and restarts the WLAN, so a sufficient symptomatic treatment is in place - this discovers connectivity every five minutes, which is OK to me. While I was just tinkering I’ve thought it could be a nice idea to identify the root cause and so I added some logging features in the mentioned service. Now the interesting (unexpected) finding: Obvious root cause was an undervoltage! I’ve searched around (because initially I failed to remember my “cable-extension”) but couldn’t find any reason for this (nothing attached else than the NVME and my mirror doesn’t have anything heavily using the harddisk)… Then the additional cable came in my mind and - voilà - this was the root cause - despite its thickness and 5A specification. For now I have added some 230V cabeling to the top of the mirror, installed there (outside the mirror frame) a third (de-assembled) PI power supply and connected the standard-long cable of this power supply to the Pi. Since then no undervoltage detected (prior to this every few minutes). So my learning: Pi is bitchy with cable extensions and tiny undervoltages can lead to heavy WLAN problems. May one or the other can benefit from these findings. Warm regards, Ralf
Hello, I’m having trouble starting my magic mirror. When I power it on, the screen goes white, then turns black and stays that way. I also encounter these two errors when I run the “npm start” command: [1781:0729/182107.882259:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName: object_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [2024-07-29 18:21:40.316] [LOG] Launching application. [1781:0729/182305.510139:ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(600)] Network service crashed, restarting service. I’ve tried everything but still can’t find a solution. Can anyone help me? I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 64-bit Pi OS. Thanks in advance!
Pulled this from the Reddit group. Working on updating my MM² modules from an old project. Starting with a fresh updated copy on a new Pi 5. Hey guys, long time first time. I’ve been on this journey since the dog days of Covid. I originally started coding a MagicMirror and then had a daughter and job change. Unable to keep up with updates and the knowledge it took me to code, I scrapped that for the ease of a dakboard. I currently run a screen in my kitchen with date/time, weather, calendar and some other fun stuff. I pay the $5 monthly so figured I might as well get use out of a second screen. Fast-forward to a cheap buy on FB marketplace for a Peloton/ Lululemon mirror for $100. Cheaper than any monitor/mirror combo I could have ever dreamed. I followed a GitHub repository and put the below together. Just throwing this out quickly and can update with specifics as questions come in. The face on view is very clear, just didn’t want to show my ugly mug. Future Plans Want to add RSTP to show a live feed of my Wyze doorbell cam when the doorbell is pressed. Want to figure out json coding so I could possibly add some MagicMirror modules. That has more scalability in my opinion. No clue how to get started on that. See attached post until I upload pictures. https://www.reddit.com/r/dakboard/s/bvqNWgvVev
On a new installation var config = { address: '0.0.0.0', ipWhitelist: [ '127.0.0.1', '::ffff:127.0.0.1', '::1', '10.0.1.1/24' ], modules: [ { module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', config: { secureEndpoints: false } }, The entire section is copied from another instance of MM where Remote-Control is working fine. On this new install I get Cannot GET /remote.html Help!
I’ve created a new module that displays EV charge state and location info pulled from Home Assistant: https://github.com/robotfishe/MMM-HAEV I’ve been using my older MMM-Tronity module (https://github.com/robotfishe/MMM-Tronity) for years to fetch this data via Tronity’s API. I’ve recently traded in my Vauxhall for a Hyundai, and I’ve found Tronity doesn’t work as well with my new car, but thankfully there’s a very functional Home Assistant integration for getting data directly from Hyundai’s platform - hence this module. The style and layout are the same as MMM-Tronity. The HA entities the module reads are configurable, so it should work with any vehicle/integration as long as the data exists somewhere on your Home Assistant instance.
I apologize for a every repeating question, but I cant figure it out completely. So I want to change the color and/or the symbol, if the title has a specific text. The readme says: eventTransformer: (ev) => { if (ev.title.search("John") > -1) ev.color = "blue"; return ev; }; I also found, that I can be more detailed in styling, when I create a class for a event, like this: eventTransformer: (event) => { if (event.title.includes('Gus')) event.class = "gus" return event }, /* custom.css */ .CX3 .event.gus { background-color: var(--calendarColor); color: var(--oppositeColor); border-radius: 4px; } If I want to change the symbol too, Sam said, I can use the same command just with “symbol” instead of color, I guess this? eventTransformer: (ev) => { if (ev.title.search("John") > -1) ev.symbol= "WHAT TO PUT HERE"; return ev; }; Obviously I dont know how to put the symbol or the link to the symbol. I set “useIconify:true”, would this mean I can use ANY of the Iconify symbols by their name like “material-symbols:ar-on-you-outline-sharp”? Looks too easy to me, so I guess no. If someone has time to spare Id appreciate some help.
I have the default module up and running, but the time appears to be off. For example, my local time currently is 1500 and the Current Weather shows the moon and the sunrise/sunset display is showing the next sunrise time. The header also says ETC/GMT (which I do not have set in my config.js). // Current Weather Module { disabled: false, module: "weather", position: "top_right", header: "Current Weather", config: { weatherProvider: "openweathermap", type: "current", location: "Norwich", locationID: "4839843", apiKey: "XXXX" } }, // 5-Day Weather Forecast Module { disabled: false, module: "weather", position: "top_right", header: "5-Day Weather Forecast", config: { weatherProvider: "openweathermap", type: "forecast", // Use "forecast" for the 5-day forecast location: "Norwich", locationID: "4839843", apiKey: "XXXXX", colored: true } }, My clock module is set to correct time, and my pi is also set correctly. Any where else I should check? Thanks.
Hey guys, I am building a MagicMirror with MMM-Framelight and a Button via MMM-GPIO-Notifications. My goal is to send the notifications FRAMELIGHT_ON followed by a delayed FRAMELIGHT_OFF to make everything dark again. How do i realise this kind of delay? Anyone knows a module with that functionality? Or can point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help!
Description: MMM-OPMStatus is a simple MagicMirror² module that displays the U.S. OPM Federal Operating Status (Washington, DC area). It fetches the official JSON feed from OPM and shows the current status (Open, Closed, Delayed Arrival, etc.) along with the official message. By default the module only shows when the status is not “Open”, making it great for kiosks and wall dashboards. Features include: Automatic refresh every X minutes (configurable) Hide when Open, or briefly fade after a set time so you know data is fresh Optional QR code display (only when not Open) so users can scan for details on their phone No external dependencies; uses Node’s https client with proper headers to bypass CDN blocks Screenshots: [image: screenshot.png] Download: MMM-OPMStatus Version 1.0.0 Initial release Polls OPM JSON feed Hides module when “Open” Configurable refresh interval and fade-after display Optional QR code support
Hi everyone, I’m working on upgrading my MagicMirror build and would love your thoughts & advice. I want to integrate acrylic panels with edge lighting behind the mirror frame, along with some custom fabrication to make it look sleek and modern. Here’s what I’m thinking: Use ⅛-inch or ¼-inch acrylic strips cut to size, possibly with custom engraving or patterns to diffuse the LED edge lighting. Build a frame or housing that hides LEDs well, protects against dust, and allows easy access for maintenance. Explore materials like acrylic, PETG, or polycarbonate for durability and clarity. Trying to decide between laser cutting vs CNC routing vs buying prefabricated pieces. Specifically, I’d love help with: What acrylic thickness works best for edge lighting without too much diffusion or glare? Recommended types of LED strips (color temp, brightness) that pair well with acrylic edges. Tips for fabricating the frame—mounting techniques, matching finish, and minimizing visible seams or hardware. Any shops or services you’ve used for custom plastic fabrication (laser/CNC) for mirror builds? I’ve done some acrylic work with custom fabrication offerings and want to level up the aesthetics and functionality. Happy to share sketches and photos as it evolves! Thanks in advance for any input or examples you’ve done.
I have an existing build that uses a 3B+. It has been running for years. I don’t recall the current OS I’m running, but can check it later on. What I’m finding is that the unit is really struggling to run. It takes quite a while to boot, and many of the modules aren’t refreshing. Is the 3B+ just not up to the task anymore with the newer OSs?
Hi, i am looking for someone to integrate my magic Mirror(running on Raspberry Pie) with Alexa and also some home apps i have for heating and lighting etc, if i could get it to do emails that would be a bonus., we are based in Leeds but i am sure with your knowledge you could do it remotely, let me know if its something you can do and also a price that would be awesome. thanks Eddie
Hello again guys I am using the 3rd cal-mod from @MMRIZE and try to bring it up a bit more specific regarding styling. So the documention says: Transforming You can manipulate or change the properties of the event. eventTransformer: (ev) => { if (ev.title.search("John") > -1) ev.color = "blue"; return ev; }; This example shows how you can transform the color of events when the event title has specific text. Would this mean, it looks up, if the events text is exact like the named text ( “John” in this example ) OR the event starts with the word OR the event contains this word? Also I wondered, if I can specify the icon used for this event, besides defining the events color? Thank you very much and as always, regards from Germany
