Yes, I use Mmm-syslog to do this as well, to show and hide icons on my magic mirror for garage door, laundry, trashday… The laundry one is posted here https://github.com/jasondreher/MMM-door-sensor3

@pnobrega I think the difference is you could build a module with the voice kit. Otherwise u cannot interact w the mirror, without some other module

@sdetweil I am very jealous!! I have being working on this module for weeks now. I have finally got to this stage… [image: 1561319130519-85fe41d2-5626-4718-b248-ed15dad6947d-image.png] I get Chimes when MM first start up. Its just now I can’t get to prove that my mic is working or get Assistant to output any sound or answer/recognise any voice commands. Clearly you got to this stage. What would you advise my next actions be please? Sounds like youre doing a great job anyway. Would love to see it. Jonathan

@Sean Hi, pm2 install was with error but it works …MM starts automatically.

@Wedee Thank you. I’ve been searching internet ages for this info

To hide modules you probably could use MMM-Remote-Control: https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control I don’t have any experience with YouTube module, though

@ttarzan ok thank you will try this

I hate to be the naysayer, but do remember that depending on your country you may not be able to sell Magic Mirrors as a business. The patent holder on the technology is a Japanese company, I believe. You can make them for personal use & gifts but you can’t sell them as a business without paying them royalties. @MichMich is probably the best person to ask about such things as I believe he went down the rabbit hole and looked into it. Now, if you want tips on how to save money on your personal mirrors, that’s a great idea. I have found that careful browsing of thrift stores, pawn shops, government auctions and charity retail outlets (Habit For Humanity, Salvation Army, etc.) is a good place to get cheap (if older) LCDs.

I used 3M vinyl wrap for the black of mine, no glue just apply no air gap easy to work with and for giving if you make a mistake, UV treated as well, your going to need three people to lift that beast! I would put the monitor on the back of the frame 🖼 this way it limits the monitor reflecting on its self and dust getting between the monitor and glass, I went for mirror view 50/50 too. I did have plans to recess mine but it would have been in a purpose made area, but settled on the stairs landing and that is all block work but makes the sunlight bounce all the way down the stairs, so it’s doing more than I could have hoped as well as a feature.

Hi Frits, Curious to know what option you went for if any as I am in the same position and by co-incidence bought the same touchscreen monitor. Did you try the one-way mirror vinyl or are you looking at overlay frame? Regards Paul

markdown chars (3 backticks) have to be on their own line. else things get messy

@robrtoprz realy the only documented way to communicate between modules is to send notification messages sendNotification(“some_identifier_string”, infomation_data_specific_to_this_identifier) so, what message happens when voice says ‘Selfie’??? u send that same message What code is listening for ‘Selfie’?? is it a MagicMirror module (like MMM-Hotword)? Or a python script?

@drx1984 [image: 1558592103870-pm2.png] Hmmm… For me it works. Check ~/Library/LaunchAgents/directory whether exists or not. You can save your xml (under Template) totarget path by manual then execute command list

Usually manual installation works without problem on mac. I mainly use my MBP as dev-machine for all modules(except some GPIO specific modules)

The Operating System is linux. MagicMirror is just an application that runs on linux. The application itself is electron, which It’s basically just a web browser. So, when you look at your mirror, you are just looking at a webpage with a bunch of components. Those components are written in JavaScript.

Magic mirror or smart mirror is a mirror that can display information. The idea is quite simple, it’s a display behind a interrogation window. It will look like a normal mirror but when the display produces light it will be visible through the mirror. Ideally powered by a raspberry pi browser. As multiple forum members are interested I have created this thread.

@lab Weren’t there any old people there? :-)

long story short, i built a mirror for my wife for xmas, but im struggling trying to get all of the modules working that i would like. i would like it if some one could help me get these sorted, these are the modules i would like to use alexa assistant (for voice control) selfie motion detection (with 8mp pi camera) also i would like to add a voice control to be able to turn on some embeded LEDs that i have in the frame. the frame i have built is made out of solid maple, and has a 42 inch monitor behind it. is there any one who is interested in this?

Hi :) As my homeautmation I run HomeSeer. Does anyone know of a good tutorial to get status from units on my MagicMirror? I found some resources using the MMM-rest module, but since I’m not that smart I did not understand how to do it :p
