      @Mitchfarino I like that module but I’m thinking it doesn’t work well with node v6 you have to roll back to v5 to use it. I tried but all I got was a white screen and couldn’t get it going.

      When it gets updated to support node v6 I’ll try it again because as @RedNax says it actually saves power on the pi… what you and I are using simply blank the screen…

      PS @Mitchfarino @RedNax made a Weather module that rocks!!

        @cowboysdude hoping @paviro is working on it.

        I’d been keen to see what you guys have done though. I have no experience coding for this, so I’m starting from scratch.

        Ill check out @RedNax 's weather app too. I think I’m using the default for now

          @Mitchfarino Once you get started you’ll see it’s a piece of cake. I have no experience either but as you can see mine is up and running.

          I do dabble in php and VERY little js so I’m going to attempt to port a joomla module I wrote over to this… I realize most here aren’t American but I’d really enjoy the NFL scores on mine as well… when I get time I’ll look at it…

          I’m a contractor and right now I have no time for my own stuff LOL

            Once I am done with school, I will :)

            We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

              I’ll update my picture as soon as it’s done… I ordered a real glass mirror but 2" longer so I can hide the PIR and Camera behind it… the new frame will be made out of mahogany… so once the mirror comes in I’ll build the new frame… next week I’m hoping…

                Not entirely sure if the PIR will work (well) behind glass… http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=123750.0
                As for the camera, it’ll be getting a lot less light to work with aswell…

                That said, lookingforward to the result… :)

                  @RedNax Well then I can still have a mirror that’s 2" bigger :)

                  Honestly I wasn’t sure it would either but what I can do is add an inch of wood to the bottom and insert them behind that so not to block either of them.

                  Thank you for the advice because that’ll just save me time!! :)

                    As a fellow USA resident and die hard Cowboys fan, I am eagerly awaiting news on your NFL module. I’m hoping to use it as a roadmap to also display current team news. As my wife is a die hard Redskins fan, (I know, I know), I’m hoping to tie face recognition in so it shows me Cowboys stuff and shows her Redskins stuff.

                        Because of the light sensitivity of the PIR module cannot put it behind the mirror… :( BUT you can replace it with a NOIR camera behind the glass to get the same thing!!! SO that’s my next move.

                        The mirror build is all done. I used real 1/4" glass mirror and built the frame from mahogany with a white trim on the front… very pleased with it.

                          My mirror has come a long way since it’s first build… it’s now voice activated… with newer modules like MMM-NFL module… wunderground weather module… quotes module… all this possible by really awesome users!!

                          So my mirror is because of the people that work really hard to bring this stuff to the public and it’s much appreciated!! It’s really awesome that you can customize something for you instead of having to deal with what people sell you and having to live with something that works but doesn’t totally do what you want it to.

                          Thank you all for ALL your hard work!!!

                            ultrasonic sensors

                            I just got my PIR motion sensor and VIOLA it works… sleeps after so many seconds but once it detects movement it comes right back on! I run it through crontab…

                            if you want a copy of what I’m using for motion sensor I’ll share…I put them in the root and create a crontab to run pir.py and the rest is history… remember to chmod all three files… if you really wanted you could combine all three into one and instead of calling the off and on sh files you could just tell it to run the command from the py file… I will do that soon, just tired out today …work.

                            I have an Amazon Alexa sitting in my livingroom LOL BUT from what I’ve seen it’s a great option!

                            Do you have a video of yours working with voice recognition?

                            Could you share your motion sensor files? I’ve been away for the summer holidays with the family, so looking to get back in to things now that they’re going back to school!

                              @Mitchfarino I will post it later tonight. The mirror working that is and I’ll post the voice git hub info as well. I didn’t do the software strawberry did. But it’s working great

                                Here is the voice module I am using…

                                Here’s a link to a very small video testing it!

                                      Hi @cowboysdude,

                                      i have an issue with the MMM-Voice-Module. I had install all with the dependencies.sh. The Installscript says i must use mic 1 in the config.js. But it doesn’t work. The Module in the Mirror says: Initialize… and then ERROR. What can i do to resolve the Problem?

                                      Regards, Daniel
