@danielnewy If you really want to have alexa voice control and would cost less and wouldn’t take up much time, I suggest you just buy the Qaio Smart Mirror. Easier, Faster, more Convenient. just a piece of my cake.

@wearable9083 This? MMM-GooglePhotos : display your family photos from Google Photos (Or you can use any image related modules) over other modules. MMM-Glance : control showing & hiding MMM-GooglePhotos MMM-Hotword : Just catching your voice and invoking MMM-NotificationTrigger : receive invocation from MMM-Hotword and relay it to MMM-Glance for controlling of show/hide MMM-GooglePhotos.

@trmst the way I’m calling the turn off monitor cmd in my voice module you can execute your shell script. https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice/blob/master/node_helper.js#L348 official documentation https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback

For a first quick demo: https://streamable.com/5s6bn

There are several voice modules here. It’s impossible to say which is best, as all do different things, and installations come with varying degrees of difficulty. You can search the forum for user experiences and try each on your own to see what best suits your needs.

@Techblogogy Hi, i am very much interested in this project , i installed the software successfully, when i entered mirror in the terminal, i get below error and also could not find config.cfg in the path mentioned in your github /.local/share/mirror_server/config.cfg i am using pi 3 with Jessie updated with Pixel Thanks Shashank

@egnos said in MMM-voice: If I say “OPEN HELP” it understands “OPEN OF OF” or “OPEN THE” If I say “MAGIC MIRROR” he understands “MAGIC TO” The recognition is not as accurate a Google Home or an Amazon Alexa. Take into account that this is not cloud based recognition. You almost have to learn how to speak to MMM-voice correctly to minimize the false positives and negatives. I’ve been using MMM-voice(Hello-Lucy) for a long time. I’ve learned how to speak to her so that my success rate is more than acceptable. Also, I have a friend in Norway that speaks English perfectly. However, MMM-voice(Hello-Lucy) has some trouble with his Norwegian accent but his Google Home has no trouble at all. That’s the benefit of cloud based recognition. @egnos said in MMM-voice: No advice for the purchase? The little usb microphone that you are using is behind the mirror? I think this will lessen your chances of success. Any sounds behind the mirror will certainly interfere and your voice commands will have difficulty reaching it. I don’t have a USB microphone recommendation but anything you do get you should expose somehow to the front of the mirror so that the user’s voice has the best chance of reaching the microphone unimpeded.

Hey guys I’m pretty new to this whole magic mirror thing. I don’t want my mirror on all the time so I wanted to turn the display on and off with my voice. This is the only post I could find trying to accomplish that. So once i get the Voice Control module from alexyak working, how do I get this to work? I’m confused as to where to put the files.

@Zach Hey Zach, I’m excited to get your project up and running, but could you update it with the latest install process for Raspbian as the options available on the page you link to have changed dramatically: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Jessie appears no longer available.

Reddit user Comm4nd0 has just released his code for his AI. The link includes a video with a demonstration of its capabilities. Looks pretty impressive! https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/4ovcpm/raspberrypi_ai_code_as_requested/
