Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

Aly

Hey everyone,

I have also followed the instructions referring taking pics and creating the training file.

If I “start” the MagicMirror nothing happened - only white screen.
If I “start” it without the MMM module (commented it out) everything is working.

Here my config.js:

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'de',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left',
			classes: 'everyone'
		},
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Österreich Feiertage',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/Germany-Holidays.ics'
					}
				]
			}
		},
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third',
			classes: 'Markus'
		},
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'currentweather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				location: 'Braunau am Inn',
				locationID: '2781520',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: '021e48dc7c378757c1fb021bf373d56c'
			}
		},
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'weatherforecast',
			position: 'top_right',
			header: 'Weather Forecast',
			config: {
	            location: 'Braunau am Inn',
				locationID: '2781520',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
	            appid: '021e48dc7c378757c1fb021bf373d56c'
			}
		},
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "Tagesschau",
						url: "http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
		/*{

@Aly
try with classes : ‘default’

You have the same problem as me and @Escenda

custom’s classes doesnt work and everyone’s classes neither
im on it since 6 days and… it cant found the solution

tidus5

@Aly @Escenda
i found the problem - the localtransport module :-)

do you use this module too ? if you remove the module on the config.js its work :D

Aly

@tidus5 No i don’t use this module :/

tidus5

@Aly
could you try to found the module who make the bug by active one by one ?

i found like that

Aly

@tidus5 So it looks like that i have problems with the module itself - not with other modules.

tidus5

@Aly if you use the option “DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev”

do you see the error ?

paviro

I will have a look at that.

Update: I just tried to recent version of my module with the current MM version and everything seems to work as expected even custom classes. Please try to use the training tool again and update your users:[] config with the output provided :) Also make sure you use the latest version from GitHub.
In case this does not help please try to install the module from scratch and let me now how it goes.

@tidus5

Hey :)

I received this error :

Thank you in advance! tidus5 & paviro
Great module paviro :)

Happy and peaceful christmas holidays!!

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

@Aly sounds like you didn’t install the dependencies with npm install in the MMM-Facial-Recognition directory

Aly

@strawberry-3.141
Thank you :) - I think i have forgotten it

jspike

@paviro Did anything ever happen with this? This module would be even more amazing if it could shut down and restart the monitor :)

strawberry 3.141

@jspike how this should work? when you shut down the mirror it wouldn’t restart if you enter the room because you completely turned off the raspberry

EDIT: I’m sorry read mirror instead of monitor

Hi. Has anybody been successful in implementing an ip-cam with paviro´s module? I really would like to “misuse” this module to watch my frontdoor and inform me if someone “unknown” shows up.

I did a quick look into the “OpenCV” - Framework, but I´m at a loss on how to
bend the module to accept an jpg from my foscam ip cam.

bhepler

@desq I successfully integrated the Raspberry Pi & Motion together. It would be pretty simple to adapt it to inform you of when someone shows up at your door. It won’t have recognition capabilities, but it will be able to trigger an alert if someone is at your doorstep. Motion has integrated IP cam support.

schlachtkreuzer6

@desq that is exaclty what i want too :) and save the video file for later… but how? ^^

bhepler

@schlachtkreuzer6 Check out the tutorial I wrote for Motion & the mirror. Pretty much the part you’ll have to figure out is how to get a script to update the mirror. Motion can be configured to run a script, save a file, stream a video, etc. from an IP camera. There’s also a streaming server integrated into it, so you could probably put the contents of the IP camera into the stream from motion, and then use an IFRAME to display the stream’s output.

In my research, I found a lot of information on the Motion software, including a couple that were specifically about running Motion on a Raspberry Pi as a security system. Once you have that configured, the next part is just figuring out how to send an alert to your mirror and how you want to display it.

schlachtkreuzer6

@bhepler great thanks! I will check this soon :D

desq

@bhepler Thank you for your suggestion.

I already have this functionality. (Using my NAS´s “Synology Surveillance Station”).
If a “motion” is detected, I get an “Alert Notification” with a Mjpeg-Stream on my Magic Mirror. Every motion is reported,
so I get a lot of “false positive”.

I would prefer a face detection (and I´m wondering why software like “Motion” and the “Surveillance Station” does not implement these feature.)

Any OpenCV Gurus in the house?
