@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

[cowboysdude]

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

ERROR

Run the mirror in dev mode

npm start dev

Then see what errors you’re getting :)

@cowboysdude oh that’s really really awesome!
so what i have done is git Pir-Sensor & wiringPi into root? =>

edit with nano pir.py =>

chmod all 3 files at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

and crontab also at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the jumper on PIR sensor in on H and the knobs are both set at minimum level

[cowboysdude]

First make sure your wiring is correct… use the pin in the pir.py…

Then…

I put the pir.py and both sh files in the pi root directly

pi/pir.py
pi/monitor_off.sh
pi/monitor_on.sh

sudo chmod +x pir.py

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh

sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

Then…

sudo crontab -e

On the last line enter:

@reboot python /home/pi/pir.py &

Hit CRTL-O to save then exit

Reboot your pi

@cowboysdude that’s exactly what i did all 3 files are located in Pi home directory as well as wiringPi.
sudo chmod there too & crontab too…
but not working… there should be something else.
i try to run your .sh file so the outcome is that monitor_off file works well but the monitor_on file displays the following message:

would you mind to share with me YOUR following files plssssss =>

thx you!

[cowboysdude]

@bibi go here:

https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor

download the monitor_on.sh and try running it again.

@cowboysdude Apperently i could get ride off this xset message now the monitor is turning on but the screen stays black… screensaver issue maybe.

Yes that’s why I gave you the new one to try… I believe you’re having a screen saver issue.

The way I handled mine was to install xscreensaver and disable it :)

[bibi]

@cowboysdude aha ok I will check install xscreensaver this evening. Any specific options or settings that I should apply?

Yes “Disable” :)

@bibi This thread may help you.

[bibi]

@cowboysdude @bhepler Thx for spending time to help me. i understand if you can’t help anymore.
but here my update : i installed Xscreensaver and disabled it but it’s working. the monitor switches off with /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o properly but with
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p the screen stays black (backlight)
just for info im doing all this via SSH… maybe something to do with X forwarding and this message : xset: unable to open display “”…

Edit: i have found a command that allows to bring back the screen ! sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7. :)))
i have to check out how to implement this in an elegant way

[cowboysdude]

@bibi said in Cowboysdude's Mirror:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Open up the monitor_on.sh and delete everything add:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Save it and that should work for you :)
