    @serge-cherpy the only way to do this would be to set up a pi as a master and the rest as slaves…ie one pi running your main mirror at [for example] 192.168.1.2:8080 [master] Then running another pi and opening up a browser to 192.168.1.2:8080 [slave] Is one way to do it. I don’t do it that way because all my mirrors do different things and have different purposes. Bathroom mirror is an actual mirror alarm clock mirror is a 10" touch panel that functions as an alarm clock 32" inch mirror is a home automation mirror But the above method master->slave would work providing you have them all on the same network… if you wanted to run master on one network and the slave on another that would take more work :)

    @Vlasta There is no kit that I am aware of but you don’t need too many items. Make yourself a check list. Search this forum for ideas. For starters you’ll need MM software gotten from this site, free A board to run MM (Pi, or similar, PC board, etc) OS (Raspbian, Windows, ubuntu, etc) Monitor or TV and cabling Mouse and keyboard for installation and setup. That’s all you need to get started. Later you can think about: 2-Way mirror A frame (most people make their own) Webcam Microphone Sensors BT Speakers Lighting

    @Mykle1 ha ha ha! But you have so many modules, you’d get a “D” for effort.

    I use to use my rpi3 which had retropie install on it also as a plex server and had torrent software on it, I used it like that for around 8 months and everything was fine but the only problem I had is I use to take the pi to friends houses alot at weekends then the kids use to moan that they couldn’t watch anything on plex whilst I was out lol. But it seems retropie uses less resources when idle than magic mirror does. For example if I enter “top” on my magic mirror electron is running twice and cpu usage is around 25-30%. Retropie on the other hand idles around 1-3% only even going up a couple of percent whilst streaming to my smart tv. I think I’ll just have to pull out one of my spare memory cards and see what happens I think. For sure I’ll post back my results here just for everyone else’s information:) Cheers

    Where do you live? Lately I installed Raspian and MM for somebody in my country who had problems with installing. The costs were only the sd card and a stamp. Maybe there is somebody in your country willing to do the same. Peter

    @Peter said in Which Voice Control module is fit for me?: @E3V3A I learned from this forum that Jessie works better with MM than Stretch, thats why I use Jessie. Yeah, I never had any problem with Stretch, so I think that is just an artificial impression due to less info available, that is based on it. I haven’t seen any facts backing that up. Actually, as a distribution concerned, most stuff just works and what doesn’t is usually the problem of the user (me). No system works out-of-the-box unless you use some pre-compiled image. We hate those, don’t we!?

    Ein bisschen Eigeninitiative wäre schön und ist eigentlich auch Grundvoraussetzung für Programmierer allgemein. Open Source bedeutet, dass der Quellcode für jeden frei zugänglich ist. Jeder kann ihn einsehen, kopieren, verändern und Vorschläge zur Verbesserung machen. Bisschen googlen und recherchieren - führt auch meist schneller zu Ergebnissen. Und bitte beim Thema bleiben, idealerweise auf Englisch. Es gibt hier mehrere Threads dazu, wie man anfängt. Das hängt auch ein bisschen von der Hardware ab und was du vorhast. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/28/tutorials

    @E3V3A said in My result about voice control: a. disable/pause the music b. lower the volume significantly In a quiet environment, voice accuracy is nearly flawless. In a noisy environment, accuracy is significantly reduced. In a loud environment, accuracy is nearly non existent. :-/

    the file needs to be config.js, the existing file config.js.sample is just a sample and will be ignored

    Drill holes in the top and in the bottom for a chimney effect. Heat goes always upwards. You can check your temp easy with MMM-stats, it tells you the temp of your cpu and uptime and so on

    Hallo freut mich auch mal Deutsch hier zu lesen, ich habe alle meine Module in MMM-voice integriert aber das funzt gut nur in Englisch. Seit ein paar Tagen experimentiere ich mit Kalliope das gibts in versch. Sprachen und bisher sind die Ergebnisse ganz gut. Ich kann euch informieren wenn ich weitere Tests abgeschlossen habe.

    @budwha There’s no difference installing the GA outside MM. MMM-Google Assistant uses an updated GA script to communicate with the MM module.

    @dvcv said in Magic Mirror fire hazard.: I have a few modules installed aside from the default ones. Well, it really depends on the modules themselves. You could have 10 that have little affect on the Pi. However, you could have 1 or two that tax the Pi to it’s limits. I do have a heatsink but no fan. So how does the fan work? Is it constantly on or do you have it programmed to turn on after a certain temp. You can do it either way. Personally, I have mine on all the time. It keeps my Pi at a nearly constant 42°C. I prefer that to the temperature swings between it being on and off.

    @ninjabreadman That is indeed not very simple. It was something I wanted to implement too, but it turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought, since the MagicMirror project does not directly support this. But it could be done, and if so a PR or even just an initial implementation would be awesome.
