Poke around, try different modules, play with them, but in the end my advice would be to find a few that satisfy your needs/requirements/desires while pruning those that exhibit issues or do not behave as expected. I would, however, caution that some of the MagicMirror modules are not what one would call “production” quality. Both the Pi and MagicMirror are fun, instructive, useful, DIY device projects. The Raspberry Pi 4 is pretty amazing and far exceeds my expectations for such a low-cost computing device. This is my first hands-on experience with a Raspberry Pi and MagicMirror. System load, available RAM, uptime and free disk space.Īdds an iFrame of any web content to your MagicMirror.ĭisplays the status of your Philips Hue lights and light groupsĭetermines the status of devices on the network based on their MAC Temperature and an icon to display the current conditions. Here is a list of the active MagicMirror modules used in the videos above and links to their installation and configuration instructions: Nameĭisplays the current date and time. The mirror can be mounted anywhere as long as there are two standard 110v outlets and it is in range of my wireless network – the only bits external to the frame are the two power cords with a switch on each. It’s connected to my network via the wireless capability of the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 4 has mini HDMI ports so I’ve connected the Raspberry Pi to the monitor via an HDMI cable wrapped up inside the frame. ![]() The Raspberry Pi has a separate power source. Inside the frame backing the mirror is a thin LCD screen and a 12.6V 3A DC power supply used to power the internal monitor. ![]() To build this Magic Mirror I used a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian Linux, a Debian Linux based operating system. First, an introduction to my mirror with me telling you what all the modules I am using do: It’s pretty cool and fun to play with.Ĭheck out the videos below to get a better sense of the MagicMirror and what it can do. The MagicMirror project has a bunch of modules that can be installed and configured to display information drawn from customized sources like the local weather, your calendar, news feeds you configure, and so on. I hope to be able to configure a voice assistant module so I can speak to the mirror and it will answer me – “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” I plan to add a webcam to the Raspberry Pi to provide a video feed, microphone, and speakers for the mirror. I’ve just begun this project and the videos below are my first. In areas where the screen is black the mirror acts just like a mirror and where the screen is white or brightly lit colors, the mirror’s reflection is partially/mostly replaced by the display from the Raspberry Pi. This is a mirror mounted in a frame and inside the frame is a Raspberry Pi displaying on an LCD screen mounted to the back of the mirror. Below you can check out the video introductions to the mirror I made. I recently embarked on a project to build a MagicMirror, an open source modular smart mirror platform.
