@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

I know this is an old topic, but how do you like the mirror from XL-Glas? The image coming through from the monitor looks a bit dark, or is it bright enough?

I wrote this 8 months ago and it may help someone. It’s meant to be used as a learning tool for beginner module creators. https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-UFO

Hm, I was hoping there would be a smarter way. Thanks for your ideas everyone, I guess I’m going to write some code that gets the state of the mirror and parses it for the relevant information. I will need to handle the various modules I’m interested in and potentially make it so that it’s easy to onboard new modules into it. It could either be an actual module on the mirror (working on writing my own modules now) or a totally separate process that fetches the mirror and parses that. Thank you everyone, I’ll work on it for a while and come back here if I ever get anything done :)

hello paul.calladine I would be interested in this module could you make it available to me and also show a picture of how you have connected? Many Thanks

I am trying to test the magic mirror and some modules on raspberry pi desktop installed on virtual box. But it is not running at all, can someone please guide me to install the magic mirror and at least some basic modules on the same for just test purpose. If it will work then it will be easy for me to develop some modules for me on my laptop and test easily. I have followed this process to install raspberry pi stretch desktop on virtual box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE--H1wYKGU

@axled Thanks for the reply… I’m using the Module Scheduler at the moment. Works Great!!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It doesn’t work. It show me only B/W Emoji. { module: "calendar", header: "Kalender", position: "top_right", config: { maximumEntries: 13, maxTitleLength: 40, fade: false, timeformat: "absolute", displayRepeatingCountTitle: true, getRelative: 0, dateFormat: "ddd[,] h:mm A", fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd", displaySymbol: false, colored: true, urgency: 0, calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxx.cal%40googlemail.com/public/basic.ics" }, { url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxs%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics" } ], } },

@solelo Good luck, my friend. You will likely have some delay if you’re using a Pi. If you’re using something more robust than a Pi you will certainly have a better, more enjoyable experience. :-)

I’ve been monitoring these forums for a while as well as had my RaspberryPi 3 B+ since they came out and well now I think I’m ready to take the plunge this weekend. Do you guys have any advice for me on how to go about it? What steps I should do first? Anything will be appreciated.
