Someone posted a link to this on the MagicMiror forum so I gave it a look. I'm glad I did. I see you're using the MMM-EyeCandy module. I wrote that module for the mirror a few years ago. It's nice to see people are still using it. Nice work on your mirror!
@BeckyStern 2 роки тому
It's so fun! Awesome module.

@@smody121 Why did you think it was inappropriate? I just assumed those "MMM" had something to do with the fact that it's called the Magic Mirror (and presumably the last M is module)
@smody121 Рік тому
@DOGGO_ Woo I thought at first it was going to be inappropriate but by the end of the sentence I realized it was innocuous. It was just a stupid joke about being in UKposts comments generally for too long and seeing people make sexual innuendos about everything (referring to the content creator) so thought it was going in a different direction at first.
@Apfelloch 2 роки тому
Even though I've already seen a lot of Magic Mirror videos and know pretty much everything about them, I've never seen someone using a VESA mount to put it on the wall. That's extremely elegant!

@weicocu 2 роки тому
I was thinking the same thing! So many makers on UKposts have these HUGE workshops with a bunch of super expensive CNC machines. Watching them I think "that's super cool, I wish I had a million dollars so I could do that too." This is also super cool but also attainable. This makes me think "I should go do something super cool myself." Love it!!

@MaxC_1 2 роки тому
@@weicocu it is a plain matter of scale and productivity. People use powertools instead of literally hand drilling or sawing stuff to save time so if you can make something in minutes instead of spending hours to building something, yea more power to you. However in most cases you can pretty much do everything they do with just hand and powertools, it just is often not worth spending hours to demonstrate an idea every time really
@kurushimee Рік тому
That's very neat! You can also try adding proximity sensors into the framing so that the screen and LED strips would automatically turn on and off when you get near the mirror, can possibly save tiny little bit of energy and is just simply cool

I just recently made my own magic mirror. I really enjoyed your personal customizations and it's given me some ideas for my next mirror project. I separated the Magic Mirror server/client configuration so, I could run the MM server on an old laptop already being used as a development web server. Then installed the MM client on the Raspberry Pi and made it reachable across my network. The MM client uses significantly fewer resources and I even got it running smoothly on a Gen1 Pi Zero Wireless. Now, I can easily spin up multiple MM client instances for other mirrors, or set the MM dashboard web interface URL as a new tab window for my web browser to keep me informed.

@@BeckyStern damn, I‘m sorry 🙈 I still love the project. I am thinking to get some screen panels without housing and everything to safe some weight.
