Restart the Magic Mirror or wait for a little and the update message on top of your screen should disappear. If you encounter problems you can delete and reinstall the module with “git reset –hard” In some cases you also have to use the “npm install” command, as the changes have to be installed, that is not necessary for all modules, but for some. When you are in the folder of the module, pull the new data with: In my case I want to update the TPLink module, if you want to update another one, you have to type that instead. It will autocomplete the command for you if there is just one alternative. Notice that you don’t have to write everything when you use the * in the end.

Here is a link that shows you how to set up one from. The most comfortable way to update your Magic Mirror modules is by using an SSH connection. But every second or third month its time to have a quick look and fix everything. So normally it’s pretty easy to keep everything updated. These update messages don’t show up a lot.

For the full demo see: Smart Mirror Demo - YouTube And now I can easily interact with it.īelow I included to pictures. This device functions literally as the brain of my Smart Home. A lot of custom made components like Lovelace cards and Integrations build by the Home Assistant community are used to deliver this need view. Kiosk view shows the Home Assistant dashboard and OpenCV is used for Face Recognition. Home assistant is installed in a docker container on the raspberry pi.

Therefore the only wire leaving the mirror is the power cord which in this case I was able to hide behind the mirror. Furthermore it obviously supports Zigbee and communicates over Wifi. Upon face recognitions the LED shortly turns green or red when no face is recognized. The LED is a nice touch combined with power on/off and face recognition: It lights up when the screen is turned on over CEC and fades out when it turns off (base don whether somebody is in the room or not, to safe power). In front of the glass there is an infrared frame delivering the touchscreen functionality.

An old 40 inch Samsung TV functions as the screen which is al put away nicely behind a two way mirror. It uses a raspberry pi 4B with pi camera to power the magic mirror. I also included a Chromecast so I have a platform to view my holiday after movies right from the mirror. It addition to the main dashboard I also have a dedicated dashboard for energy data, shows and movies and an almost empty one for mirror view. In addition in supports face recognition to show personalized data from the person standing in front of the mirror and hide personal data from “unknown” viewers.

Also displaying information like weather, newly downloaded or ready to view shows and movies, news and calendar. Just finished my 40 inch Magic Mirror based on Home Assistant Frontend to control all devices like lights and vacuum with touchscreen.
