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

Try tried an app two years ago but I didn’t remember the name. It was the best website I used it for your query also. You can download songs from soundcloud using something like this soundcloud downloader Just paste in the URL of the soundcloud song. And you get a mp3 download.

@Sean nice! Thanks for the answer 😀

i want to be the first person to create THE MAGICMIRROR in AFRICA /KENYA , If anyone might help me get the raspberry pi or also the monitor the rest of the materials i will get, my address is “2538-01000 THIKA,NAIROBI- KENYA” name “WILLIAM WANDIE” I would really appreciate to make this work mates.

Currently, MMM-TTS and MMM-GoogleTTS can change text to composed voice. both modules can be activated by notification. https://github.com/eouia/MMM-GoogleTTS#by-notification Default calendar module cannot response on demand, however it can broadcast all events when be refreshed. Maybe you can make your own module to receive and store events then use. MMM-CalendarExt has a feature to response specific events by notification query. https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt/wiki/Use-Notification-(for-module-developers)#calext_tell_schedule MMM-CalendarExt2 also has same feature but somewhat different with MMM-CalendarExt https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/3.-Usage#get-events MMM-NotificationTrigger can relay and chain notifications between modules. If you need to translate notification between modules you could use this module together. So It could be done by combination of above modules with PIR related module(MMM-PIR-Sensor??).

@BandNerd1002 said in Beginner: What are some tips for a complete beginner for a raspberry pi? Youtube has a grensom He has a lot of set up videos I think there will be a lot of help for beginners.

Hello all, I am trying to create an RFID module on the Magic Mirror and would like to implement a feature that would ask the user for their name, and then assign that name to a tag. I currently have the reading/outputting features running, but can’t figure out how to take a name from the user to be written to a new tag. Are there any existing modules that either: Open a popup window that can be typed into Show a input box on the mirror to be outputted Or even open up a terminal window or something like that Thank you
