![]() ![]() Next i remove the default blank screen on 6 min of inactivity described on this page. Mirror="file:///home/pi/SmartMirror/smart_mirror.html" Therefore add following lines on ~/.bashrc: Now the raspberry pi should show the midori browser on startup and also hide the mouse cursor on inactivity by unclutter. Git clone edit the file ~/SmartMirror/smart_config.js to set the openweatherapi key and the remote-control-system security token: To configure the raspberry pi you have to clone the github repo: This smart home solution defines several controllable units, for example media-server or wireless socket in a configuration-xml and makes all available via a restful web api. Music and switch information comes from my smart home server based on this githup repo. Time comes from the system time of the computer. This is a very minimalistic dashboard that just shows the time, weather, music and switches. The source code is hosted in a gitpub repo. For a raspberry pi i recommend to use midori.
