Introduce yourself!

Hallo
Ich bin der Maik
Ich habe meine wurzeln in Berlin, lebe aber seit einiger zeit jetzt im Schönen Schweden.
Da die Winter hier etwas länger sind habe ich mir ein neues Hobby gesucht.
Ich Habe dabei den MagicMirror entdeckt.
Dieser hat es mir dann auch gleich angetan.
Mein erster versuch war zu einfach ich war nach 20 Minuten fertig. aber ich hatte kaum die Möglichkeit was zu verändern und das wollte ich dann auch wider nicht.
Mein ziel ist es ein System zusammen zustellen was etwas mehr kann außer Infos auszugeben er soll auf Sprachbefehle Reagieren mit einer Gesichtserkennung arbeiten.
Er soll automatisch die Temperatur des Systems kontrollieren.
Ein Smart Home soll auch integriert sein.
Verpasste anrufe erkennen und auch anzeigen.

ich weis es ist ein weiter weg bis zum Ziel aber es kommen noch Viele winter

@SChweden-Maik Hi Maik, welcome to the forum.

A lot of stuff you’re trying to achieve is already possible with MagicMirror. There several voice recognition modules, a face recognition module and also modules to show missed calls

Hi! This is Gerardo, from Mexico City, Mexico.
Currently CIO at a TV Ratings agency, and trying to build cool projects.
I have been trying to setup the mirror for some time now, but running into some difficulties, specifically with MMM-Alexa and a couple of other modules.
Great to see such a big community trying to build MM’s!

Thanks a lot and great to meet all.

Gerardo

I’m Stéphane from Belgium (Flemmish part). Noob in RPi and MM but willing to learn. :) My job is end user support for a international company, mainly Windows machines. Not building a Magic “Mirror” but it will be more something like a kiosk at home with some info for all house members (The Misses, the almost 3 year old girl and myself[47 years “old”). Still in discovery phase and looking at all modules that I could use. The spare time is filled with some nice motorbike rides in BE, NL or GER :)

Hello!

I’m Chris. 25 male as of mid-May. Biochemist in the California Bay Area. Finally moving out on my own so I’ve been looking into furnishings. Since I’m still running stag I figured I should buy all the fun things I want now! I’d wanted a MM when I saw that first one on Reddit but didn’t have funds or reason to make one. Buzzedly bought a Pi3 yesterday so I guess we’re going through with it.

Very little experience with electronics. I used to build unmanned aerial video platforms (aka drones) as a hobby but that’s a totally different ballgame. I’m a homebrewer with the intention of building myself a four-tap kegerator sometime this or next year. I think it would be cool if I can figure out a way to get my MM to talk to a BrewPi so I can monitor stuff like that from there.

I’m trying to go through all the top posts here and I’m learning a lot! I think. It all seems straight forward, I just need to figure out what I want. I think for starters it’ll just be a novelty/showoff item for my apartment as I don’t particularly need any of the modules in my current daily life. We’ll see once I actually build it all.

I think eventually it would be really cool if I could control most of my home network from this mirror. This might be a step into me looking more into HestiaPi. I have to build a home network first though…

Lastly, why are so many posts deleted? It seems like every other post on here is marked as deleted!
