  @anhanyoung here are a list of videos for my 32" … I have also built a true mirror for the bathroom and have tinkered with a 10" touch one as well… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtC-mqSNYsNCWefpSOviIQg?view_as=subscriber You can do a mirror anyway that works for you… use your imagination and build something

  Well seeing how this is a ‘free’ project I’m not sure people want to buy software… there’s too much out there for free. Nice idea but…

  FWIW, I did manage to do this. I added a line 155 to the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js: image.src = encodeURI(this.imageList[this.imageIndex]); this.sendNotification("IMAGEFILEPATH", image.src); //my stuff Then I created a small module that displayed the notification. Module.register("MMM-ShowMessage", { defaults: {}, getDom: function() { var element = document.createElement("div"); element.className = this.config.size; element.id = "IMGPATHFILE"; return element; }, notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) { switch(notification) { case "IMAGEFILEPATH": var elem = document.getElementById("IMGPATHFILE") var subpayload = payload.substring(53) elem.innerHTML = subpayload break } }, }); In my config.js I just added: { module: "MMM-ShowMessage", position: "bottom_left", config: { size: "small" } }, Now each time the image changes a notification is sent and picked up by the show message module which displays it on screen. I trim the path because the beginning was consistent among all the pictures.

  @seedhe - The module framework that @MichMich created is where the technique of hosting the mirror on a Pi really shines. While the Magic Mirror is more-or-less a customizable web page, the ability for the modules to call background processes adds a level of utility. For example, I can put a static web page up on an Amazon cloud IP and just hit that from my mirror. It will display static data and maybe some things from various APIs, if I code it cleverly enough. But that’s about it. With the OS working behind the scenes, I can display anything behind my firewall (IP cameras, weather stations, temperature sensors, PIR sensors, etc.). I can also plug in a camera and/or microphone and use the data from those devices in my modules. It also allows you to scale up if you need to. A Raspi is pretty slick for its size and cost. But if you put something like a NUC behind it, you can use that processing power for some really cool features. Voice recognition, facial recognition, complex animations, etc.

  @mitchawl - My understanding is that the plug in the Alexa devices is output only. But I haven’t actually investigated. I could be wrong. Good luck!

  @novajones001 - You’re going to have to provide a lot more detail. It that IP address the IP address of your mirror? Are you trying to view the content or configure the mirror? If you’re trying to view the content, then open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.4:8080 in the address bar. If you’re trying to configure your mirror, then you need to SSH into that IP address with an SSH client. If you’re using Ubuntu, Debian or other flavor of Unix, you can just type ssh pi@172.168.1.4 at the command prompt. It will ask you for a password, which by default is raspberry. If you’re using Windows 10, you have to open PowerShell and then type that command. (Did everyone know that PowerShell has SSH capability? I did not.) You’ll still have to enter the password. Let us know how it goes.

  we see a LOT of new users having trouble with unintended syntax errors in config.js. they don’t know, and MM is running happily without their changes… so, I want to propose adding the call to tests/configs/check_config.js as part of the error handling… this was easy, except… MM keeps running with the default config… which it shouldn’t… I’ve tried all kind of things… process.exit(0); is quick death… except the output of the tests/configs/check_config.js isn’t flushed, so the messages don’t show up… they took out process.stdout.flush() a long time ago… none of the workarounds appear to work… anyone got any ideas? thanks…

  Ciao a tutti vorrei unirmi anche io, sono in fase di ultimazione del mio primo progetto, avrei qualche idea da implementare ma senza basi solide di progettazione, vedrò nei prossimi giorni di aggiungermi ai canali suggeriti.
