      @xela What modules are you using? This seems like voicecontrol, but what are you using for a camera module? Does it already include receivers for those notifications?

      Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
      Check out the detailed walkthroughs on install, config, modules, etc.

        i’m getting all of that which I have no idea what it means but I think it is related to the voicecontrol:

          @xela Which modules are you using? Did you run npm install in both folders? Do you also have the camera module in your config.js?

          Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
          Check out the detailed walkthroughs on install, config, modules, etc.

            thank you very much! it’s working!

            do you know by any chance if it’s possible to have the camera picture as vertically full screen?
            Or is not, is it possible to hide all other modules when the camera picture is on?
            I want to use the camera as my mirror so when I say the magic work everything disappears and only the camera picture stays.

              Have a look at MMM-pages. Install it, and you can then send a PAGE_CHANGED notification either when you send the camera notifications (voicecontrol module) or when you receive and process them (camera module). That should page between the camera and everything else.

                Thank you very much! That’s great.
                Do you know by any chance if it’s possible to have the camera image 90 degree rotated and on full screen? I want to use the camera as the mirror instead of applying a glass or a film.

                    Sorry… the modules I’m using are:
                    Alert
                    updatenotification
                    helloworld
                    clock
                    calendar
                    MMM-WunderGround
                    MMM-Traffic
                    MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
                    MMM-ImageSlideshow
                    voicecontrol
                    camera
                    compliments
                    newsfeed
                    MMM-Remote-Control

                    I also intend to use MMM-buttons so when I press a button it will start the image slideshow of artistic pictures (so it will act as a wall art).

                    thank you for your help!

                      @xela It’s not supported natively by webcamjs. See this issue posted here. You can try CSS transforms, but it may be too processor intensive for the RPi.

                        @xela Regarding rotating the camera, you can physically rotate the camera. If you’re directly connecting it to the RPi, consider using a flex cable instead.
