  @egnos I copy the “MMM-AssistantMk2” folder to the new “modules” folder. I can not guarantee your copied folder might work because it is not “built/compiled” on new machine.

  Der nächste Versuch wäre den MagicMirror im dev mode zu starten und zu schauen ob du eine Meldung zu dem Modul bekommst. npm start dev Wenn du den Autostart via pm2 aktiviert hast musst du vorher den pm2 Prozess stoppen pm2 stop all npm start dev

  I recently setup mt Raspberry Pi to run Google Assistant in the background with my Magic Mirror. I was curious if anyone has found a way to speed up the response time of the Assistant? I have a Google Home Mini and that responds very promptly. Any luck with speeding things up?

  Well seeing how this is a ‘free’ project I’m not sure people want to buy software… there’s too much out there for free. Nice idea but…

  A way to add image name to MMM-BackgroundSlideshow?

  R

  FWIW, I did manage to do this. I added a line 155 to the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js: image.src = encodeURI(this.imageList[this.imageIndex]); this.sendNotification("IMAGEFILEPATH", image.src); //my stuff Then I created a small module that displayed the notification. Module.register("MMM-ShowMessage", { defaults: {}, getDom: function() { var element = document.createElement("div"); element.className = this.config.size; element.id = "IMGPATHFILE"; return element; }, notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) { switch(notification) { case "IMAGEFILEPATH": var elem = document.getElementById("IMGPATHFILE") var subpayload = payload.substring(53) elem.innerHTML = subpayload break } }, }); In my config.js I just added: { module: "MMM-ShowMessage", position: "bottom_left", config: { size: "small" } }, Now each time the image changes a notification is sent and picked up by the show message module which displays it on screen. I trim the path because the beginning was consistent among all the pictures.

  @seedhe - The module framework that @MichMich created is where the technique of hosting the mirror on a Pi really shines. While the Magic Mirror is more-or-less a customizable web page, the ability for the modules to call background processes adds a level of utility. For example, I can put a static web page up on an Amazon cloud IP and just hit that from my mirror. It will display static data and maybe some things from various APIs, if I code it cleverly enough. But that’s about it. With the OS working behind the scenes, I can display anything behind my firewall (IP cameras, weather stations, temperature sensors, PIR sensors, etc.). I can also plug in a camera and/or microphone and use the data from those devices in my modules. It also allows you to scale up if you need to. A Raspi is pretty slick for its size and cost. But if you put something like a NUC behind it, you can use that processing power for some really cool features. Voice recognition, facial recognition, complex animations, etc.
