![]() ![]() Instead I had to fall back to slightly more complicated solution. For some weird reason adding this to the mm.sh starter script also did not help. This does actually rotate the screen but this does not survive a restart. Supposedly the solution I already described for the Pi Zero should work: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -output HDMI-1 -rotate right With older Pi’s this used to be easy to set up: just edit the /boot/config.txt file. Rotating the display of a Raspberry Pi 4īefore getting to the part of running MagicMirror² there is one annoying problem to solve: my screen is vertically oriented, meaning it is rotate 90° to the right. Tracking temperature is quite important, maybe I will create a warning automation in Home Assistant later to get notified if temperatures rise to unexpected values and the Pi 4 can get a bit warmer than the Zero W. Of course I integrated all that data into my Grafana dashboard via Home Assistant and InfluxDB. The setup is quite simple if you follow my article and the official documentation and provides me with always up-to-date data about CPU/memory/… usage. Monitoring for the PiĪfter installing the Pi I made sure to add proper monitoring like I already set up for my home server and the Octopi using the MQTT2HA daemon. ![]() The micro SD card can be the same, of course unless it died like in my case. You will also need a new power supply (USB C) and (micro) HDMI cable. If you want to support the blog consider getting your hardware via these affiliate links. Make sure to test your setup before closing the mirror! I also made sure to use the config menu of the imager to provide Wifi details and set up SSH keys. Meanwhile the SD card was flashed using the Raspberry Pi Imager using the newest Pi OS. I got a model with a nice metal heat sink that I mounted. The preparation of the Pi was pretty easy. It is quite a lot of work to remove the Pi anyways are the prices for the Pi 4 are finally dropping again. SD cards are a known failure point for Pis but instead of just replacing it decided to replace the whole Pi with a more powerful model. Then some two weeks ago the Pi Zero W (or rather the SD card I think) died an (un)expected death. It was also always running at >90% CPU usage. It was running pretty well but struggled with some of the more intensive tasks like showing a globe. I have built my own magic mirror last year and ran the software on a Pi Zero W. Below are some of our favorites.Installing MagicMirror² on the Raspberry Pi 4 Setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 for your magic mirror This means you don’t have to move your mirror to turn the display on if it ever turns off unexpectedly. TVs have a huge advantage over monitors and tablets because they come with a remote. Alternatively, the Microsoft Surface X works great (the pen works through the surface).Īlternatively, if you want to do a large display, we recommend: We recommend that you purchase the Satechi USB C Hub Multiport Adapter to add 2 USB ports to your tablet. Add a projected touch capacitive film (PCAP film) to the face of the glass for touch control. Samsung offers Windows and Android tablets that are only 0.25″ thick, and allows gesture control, Cortana voice control, wireless mouse/keyboard/gamepad control. Samsung N5300 (1080p smart TV) or Samsung QN32Q50R (1.4″ thick, 4k QLED), or if you’re looking for a smaller display, the Vizio D24F-G1 is a great choice. The ideal setup in terms of features and control for a small smart mirror (as of May 2020) is: You can use a monitor, tablet, or LED TV as your display–the thinner and brighter, the better. ![]()
