I’m a new user, so that you don’t have a friend. You may you can be with you? I want to learn more more more more. Thank you. #vin

[card:LukeSkywalker92/TeleFrame] Dear MagicMirror-Community, I solved a problem and want to share it with you, because I think some of you may have the same or a similar problem and most of you have the skills to get this thing working :) Even if you don’t have this problem it may be interesting for you also. To the problem: My grandmother (over 80 years old) is not able to use a smartphone but she would really like to get all the images that are send to our family-whatsapp-group. Since the other members of this group are also no IT-experts I had to find a solution, that is also easy to use for them. The solution: I wrote an nodejs app that can run on a raspberry pi (with an attached display) and displays all the images that are send to a telegram-group (or to the bot directly) in a slideshow. So similar to a digital picture frame. But it can also show the name of the sender and the caption of the image (with emojis ;) ). When a new picture is send to the group (or bot), a notification with the sender name is shown and the slideshow will start from the biginning. The oldest image is kicked out of the slideshow to keep the total amount of images in a range that you don’t have to spend all the day in front of the picture frame to see the newest images. But you can set the amount in a config file. There are many other settings that can be adjusted in the config file, but you can see that in README on Github. You can also see a small demo and the instructions to install this app on Github. I hope this helps many others that are facing the same problem or that just want to have a digital picture frame like this :) Enjoy it! Luke

Hi all, I can’t find a two-way mirror manufacturer or even a store that sells these mirrors in Israel. Do you know where can I find one? Thanks, Zingero.

@maxbachmann thanks…man…i really appreciate it… for creating those…i dont know how …i have read the module development but i dont understand it…can you teach me?

@cowboysdude o How to show animated background in an array (What module)

@cjruff78 Assuming your mean MagicMirror you should probably go with this forums installation tutorial. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial

Hi everyone, I’m looking for help, What I’m trying to do to is to recognise a person in front of a camera, If the person recognises the custom-made dashboard come on display, I have done the recognising a person part but not able to switch to the custom-made dashboard

Thanks. i ve seen with alexa developper application but i am not strong with python and json script to arrange at my sauce :). (just a code with gpio). What is it FHEM ?

I ended up just doing an Update and removing Kodi, everything seems to be working fine otherwise. Thx

@ramez I’ve made a script that runs MM from RetroPie but when try to run it didn’t start here is the npm log file… 1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/node', '/usr/bin/npm', 'start' ] 2 info using npm@5.6.0 3 info using node@v9.11.2 4 verbose run-script [ 'prestart', 'start', 'poststart' ] 5 info lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~prestart: magicmirror@2.4.1 6 info lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: magicmirror@2.4.1 7 verbose lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: unsafe-perm in lifecycle true 8 verbose lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: PATH: /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin:/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games 9 verbose lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: CWD: /home/pi/MagicMirror 10 silly lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: Args: [ '-c', 'sh run-start.sh' ] 11 silly lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: Returned: code: 1 signal: null 12 info lifecycle magicmirror@2.4.1~start: Failed to exec start script 13 verbose stack Error: magicmirror@2.4.1 start: `sh run-start.sh` 13 verbose stack Exit status 1 13 verbose stack at EventEmitter.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/index.js:285:16) 13 verbose stack at EventEmitter.emit (events.js:180:13) 13 verbose stack at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/lib/spawn.js:55:14) 13 verbose stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:180:13) 13 verbose stack at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:936:16) 13 verbose stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:220:5) 14 verbose pkgid magicmirror@2.4.1 15 verbose cwd /home/pi/MagicMirror 16 verbose Linux 4.14.62-v7+ 17 verbose argv "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "start" 18 verbose node v9.11.2 19 verbose npm v5.6.0 20 error code ELIFECYCLE 21 error errno 1 22 error magicmirror@2.4.1 start: `sh run-start.sh` 22 error Exit status 1 23 error Failed at the magicmirror@2.4.1 start script. 23 error This is probably not a problem with npm.

@trich1 yes side of the frame works. just needs to be possible to move the finger into the Infrared light grid it creates ;) However when you really want a photobooth with basically only the feature make a photo a small gesture sensor or a distance sensor (depending on how you want to trigger) would be a lot cheaper since touch foils are damn expensive in that size (never used one with a mirror but some producers state that some touch foils work with their mirror). And even a IR Frame will probably cost at least around 100$ I guess. Although I am no big fan of the touch + mirror combo anyways because you have fingerprints all over the mirror ^^ which you do not have with gesture control (maybe voice control would be cool aswell :) ) Well but back to your question I never used a IR Frame so far but in general mapping should be quite possible. But you need to check what options are out there for your distro. It appears to be pretty common that you need to map for example with multiple monitors since linux often sees them as one so mapping needs to be done here aswell. Just search for touchscreen calibration and you should find explanations

Ok, got it. Thank you. Edit: I was just looking at the Sonos website and thei latest speaker (Sonos One) has Alexa built into it. Now I think that’s a better solution and I would want to see if i can retireve the current song ad metadata through the Sonos.

@ezeraj Oh yeah, here’s another post you may like as well. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6615/kalliope-assistant-mm/57 I have a fork of the MMM-kalliope module that I have modified to work with Mycroft as well to display the user and Mycroft utterances on the Magic Mirror as well. @sispheor did some great work that I modified for use with Mycroft. You can find it here.

@geo Is there a question in there somewhere? I will assume that you are at least looking for a tutorial. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial This tutorial is for the software side of things. You can search this forum for ideas on how to construct a frame, or use an existing one. Good luck to you.

@nikhil That limitation is not for assistant api but for cloud speech api. ( I had used that api in my previous module)

MMM-NotificationTrigger has HTTP endpoint to receive message. So if your external app can touch the endpoint, It can convert it to MagicMirror notification. Example of using IFTTT. https://github.com/eouia/MMM-NotificationTrigger#usewebhook

@sdetweil Thanks for the added info. I’ll add that to my list of things to install.

Really helpful, thanks!

@ruben And if you delve into Javascript development you should consider to use TypeScript. It allows type-safe development and debugging while you develop. It translates into regular Javascript. Actually, AngularJS is developed using TypeScript. Pretty awesome! Just my 2 cents. Regards, HerrB92
