I made a new module that I would like to share: https://github.com/CharlesMougenot/MMM-MonitorOnOff-Hue
Where should I post it? -
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.

awesome work!

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.

What this forum about?

Hi there,
I am Sandra, nearly 60 years old and living in Germany. Few days ago I found this project and I love it. Yesterday I did my first steps with MagicMirror. Therefor I am using a Raspi3 B+ and still an older 24" Full HD Display.
I got it running and made first adjustments of the existing modules to dig in. Well, it´s not realy trivial for an old woman but I think I will get it.Many thanks to all participants for this amazing project.
Kind regards

Hello! My name is Greg from North Carolina, US and I’m totally new to Magic Mirror. I’m familiar with Raspberry Pi but this is my first go into this world. I bought a Vilros Magic Mirror and trying to to figure out how to install Magic Mirror on my Raspberry Pi. Hoping to find some introductory tutorials on here. Any help is appreciated!! Looking forward to learning a lot!

@pillaresci use my install script. see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsu should update your SD card to the latest pi os.

Hi. My name is Milan and I’m a graphic designer. I’m trying to go a little further and trying to learn codes and web design :)

@foxapplepiestyx not really a good place to learn that stuff… you should take some of the online courses…

@sdetweil Yes I know, I just wanted to say hello :)

Hi, I’m a 70 yr old grandma who was “forced” into learning how to rebuild my raspberrypi. My son made me one about 7 yrs ago but it got a corrupt card. He wasn’t able to replace it so I took it in to the geek squad as they said they could program it for me. After approximately 3 days later I got it back but nowhere near what I wanted.
Sooooo, I read some stuff, looked around, sat down and put it together. I’ve had a lot of help from the forum which I am very grateful for.
This will probably be my only project into coding, but it has been interesting and educational. -
@louise nice work… , so… make a backup after u get done this time…
(we share age btw)
