      Has anyone here added a camera to their Smart Mirror? I’ve seen camera MM modules and I’m wondering whether I should get a Raspberry Pi camera or if a USB Webcam will be ok since I could maybe use that as my microphone also for voice commands. Any insight/advice would be a great help. Thanks!

              Which module do you use?

                I am using the MMM-Motion-Detection module but it does not work because the camera only turned on for a few seconds and then turned off

                  @guongthongminh i use the motion addon to detect motion, and my own module to turn off/on screen

                  sudo apt-get install motion

                  its config is /etc/motion/motion.conf
                  i turn off recording images and video
                  and add the motion start/top commands per the module instructions

                  my module is MMM-SleepWake on github

                      Your module is great but I don’t know how to wake the screen when it detects movement. Can you help me finish it?
