Settings

The Settings section allows you to manage system preferences, schedules, and backups for your Smart Mirror.

⚙️ Note: Some options, such as Backup & Restore, are only available when using the built-in interface. If you selected a Custom URL during setup, these options will be hidden.

1. Changing the Dashboard Password​

  1. Open the Settings menu in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click Reset Password.
  3. Enter a new password and confirm.

The new password replaces the default changeme password used during initial setup. We recommend updating it immediately after installation for security reasons.

2. General Settings​

In this section, you can adjust key system information:

  • Device Name – the name that appears in your local network.
  • Timezone – ensures correct local time display for modules and logs.
  • Language & Keyboard – switch input and display languages if needed.

Changes are applied immediately after saving.

3. Backup & Restore​

💡 Tip: Create a backup right after completing your first setup — it provides a reliable baseline you can restore anytime.

Create Backup​

  • Saves your current configurations, modules, and CSS files.
  • Backups can be restored at any time through the same menu.

Restore Backup​

  • Reverts your mirror to a previous working state.
  • Helpful if configuration errors or module issues occur.

Backups are stored locally on the device.

4. Schedule Settings​

The Smart Mirror allows you to automate LED and screen behavior.

LED Schedule​

  • Define on/off times for the LED lights.
  • The last used brightness level is automatically applied when turning on.

Screen Schedule​

  • Set display on/off times.
  • Not recommended if you primarily control the mirror remotely, as the screen being off prevents interaction through the dashboard.

5. System Logs​

The System Logs section records events such as startup messages and module actions. These logs are mainly for debugging purposes and can generally be ignored during normal operation.

  • Wi-Fi Stability: Occasional connection issues may occur after prolonged downtime. For best performance, we recommend keeping the Smart Mirror powered continuously.

  • Incorrect Date/Time after Power Loss: If the date or time is displayed incorrectly after unplugging the device, simply disconnect and reconnect the power again to trigger resynchronization.

  • General Tip: Most mirror functions are self-explanatory — if unexpected behavior occurs, try a quick Refresh first before restarting the device.
