The setup is so simple: 1) first, if you have a case, insert your Raspberry Pi (version 2, 3, or 4 will work) with the microSD card into it (make sure the relevant pins/connector can still be accessed to connect the screen) Ģ) then just connect the screen (whichever you want to use) to the Raspberry Pi I would recommend a small one (like the 3.5" in the list), but you could also use the official Raspberry Pi Touch Display, or another one the touch function will be useful (but not 100% necessary) to turn off the alarm clock ģ) then, if you are using a bluetooth speaker, it may be practical to power/recharge it directly from the Raspberry Pi USB, so just connect it to any USB port Seen the difference? I don't need much information if I wake up at 3 a.m.: the clock is sufficient! And also the indication that the WiFi is turned on/off is ok (for example I set the on sign to yellow and off sign to blue). Let's take a peek at my screen now (day version): Then I thought cron is the easy and right tool to program some events during the day(s). MMM-ModuleScheduler (optional, to switch modules displayed).MMM-Tado (if you have a smart thermostat, you can display ambient info).MMM-Online-State (to check weather WiFi is on or off).MMM-AlarmClock (we want an alarm clock, right?).If you know MagicMirror a little, you know that there are different modules to install, to provide different kinds of functionality.
It is mainly based on the beautiful MagicMirror project, but in this case we use it with a little screen to display information we need, without hiding everything behind a mirror. It comes with useful features like a soft wake up (with chirping birds from a little bluetooth speaker), changing set of information and luminosity for day and night, weather, news. Yes, this is yet another alarm clock ! But I feel like I'm not the only one deisiring a nice and simple object like this one to keep on the bedside table.
