    Do you mind giving more details about this magic mirror thing?

    I have an old tablet lying around, not being used, and that sounds handy.

        Huh, I never realised it could be so simple. Time to hunt down some guides, ta!

          Yep, that’s it. The only difference with mine is that I’ve got the software running on my media server and the display on a tablet, rather than the traditional Pi with a screen setup.

          You need some sort of computer to run the back end, and it serves up a web page that can be displayed anywhere within your home network. I think there’s a tweak to the config to allow that, but it was really simple. The website is here:
