        Just dropping in to say hi!

        I don’t have a smart mirror to show yet as I haven’t built one. I’m an avid maker, tinkerer, and professional software engineer. I have 4 or 5 RPis ion different versions, a Balena FinCM3 dev board, and most iterations of Arduino.
        I also build my own hardware whenever I can, using my CNC machine, and other workshop tools.

        Some people ask me if I’m a software developer: no, I say I’m a software engineer! Big difference. :)

        Thx

          hello! - been using magicmirror for a few weeks in my office. It was one of my lockdown projects to get setup - I’m very happy with it.

            I am Raf from Belgium and I am 55 years old and I am trying to build a magic mirror but I actually do not have such a great knowledge of the English language, so it is not easy for me but it is a very nice project

                Hey all… Name is Dennis and my call is N6NG. It’s nice to put a picture on all the beautiful coding for the MagicMirror.
                Been seeing the name MichMich for a long time now an never been able to even imagine what you would look like.
                I do want to thank you for all the help in getting the MagicMirror up and going for me and many others in the Mirror business…
                I do have one question and you probably have a good reason, but why is the MagicMirror group not part of the groups.io pages? I belong to a lot of lists that are there but it would be nice if the magicmirror.builders were there also.
                So nice to see you and thanks for all your hard work…
                Dennis N6NG

                            Hi, I’m Daniel, 29yo DWH Architect from Czech Republic. Married (quite happily), father of a cheerful one year old girl.

                            These days I’m working from homeoffice, so instead of microadventures and fishing I invest more time in my family and smart home implementation. I’ve made my magicmirror like 2 years ago. Now I’m waiting for a new glass and totally looking forward to building a new and better one.

                            Thanks for being so great community!

                              Hello Everyone,
                              I’m Rob, a mechanical engineer who loves to build. I started building a magic mirror a year ago and recently finished building a proper woodshop so making this frame out of black walnut was much easier. I am definately a newbie at this programming stuff and often get stuck even with simple updates. Anyone want to walk me though how to make a few changes? :)

                                I’m Roger, I’m in the UK, I usually work on cloud systems (Salesforce and Hubspot) but I have a soft spot for Linux and I’m very interested in smart Home stuff… I want to do something with HomeKit.

                                And stumbled upon MM… and considering if I should make one…

                                I also like to mend ancient sewing machines and occasionally I sew something…

                                  Hi, my name is Torsten, 45, Single, no kids from near Kaiserslautern in Germany. I work as a computer technican for the Gouverment of Transportation.

                                  I start building my MM in the covid-19 times, as i work in homeoffice and on evenings when its boring, because you can not go out or visiting your friends.

                                  It was my second project with a Raspi (first was a Pi-hole Ad-filter)and im learning every day things about Linux, Raspi and the MM software. Im not sure, but i belive Im a bit addicted to the RasPi ;-)
                                  I have a litte bit knowledge about html, css and php.

                                  Im sitting my whole life in front of a PC, so in my age its time to do some other stuff:
                                  In my free time im intrested about photography and when the weather is nice, i ride my motorcycle.

                                  Great community here and i look forward what nice and fresh ideas are growing up here.

                                  Greetings Torsten

                                    Hello! My name is Kevin and I am from London, Ontario, Canada. I’m 58 years old and recently retired after 37 years in the IT profession - started as a software developer and then somehow morphed into a Senior Architect designing various things such contact centres and voice applications. I also very occasionally teach IT courses at our local college. I’ve been married for over 30 years and have 2 grown children.

                                    I enjoy tinkering (without always knowing what I’m doing), hiking, traveling, and playing hockey because Canada :)

                                    My COVID project has been to build a ‘family info screen’ using the MM framework. It is hanging in my kitchen and currently doing things such display family photos from a local NAS, show local weather, show local waste collection calendar, etc. all with voice support. I will say that if not for the patience of this community, I would not have been successful with this build! My current project is to create a new provider for the default weather module to pull data from Environment Canada - seen running here on my MM build:

                                    I look forward to adding more functionality to my display in the future!

                                      Hi! I’m Bob, I work in IT for John Deere, and am a graduate student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. For a class project, I needed to build an IoT device, so wrote a Python program that interfaced with Google Speech-to-Text APIs to do some voice recognition. I programmed that to compare what was being said with a script, allowing actors to use the mirror to see themselves performing, while making sure they were accurate with their lines. I then used MagicMirror to handle the output, to show what the other actors would say.

                                      It was a fun project. I still need to go back and put backing behind the mirror glass, to block any light coming through, and I want to hook up some speakers to allow the program to actually speak back to the actor, but here’s what it looks like now.

                                          Hey I need a full body mirror built by August 1st. I would like the functionality to swipe through different affirmations on the mirror. This is a paid ask, if you can build this please contact kidnapsnap@gmail.com. Thank you.
