Hi all,

My first forum message.

I’m am 54 years old and living in the Netherlands, working as an electrical engineer. Using the Raspberry Pi used in various projects.

Going to build a Magic Mirror with LED RGB background lighting, which is, of course, controlled by the Raspberry Pi.

Hey welcome to the club… well two actually … the MM club and the 50 year old… Also a member LOL

Hi all,

I’m Christian, a 29 year old software developer from Hamburg, Germany. I love mobile and web technologies and new and evolving areas such as smart homes. I just planned to build my first MagicMirror over the next few weekends. You guys really built some cool modules already that I absolutely have to include. A big Thank You for that!

I love that there are already face recognition and voice control modules available, I hope I can help to take the next step with hooking up natural speech control (via Google Cloud Services or Microsoft Cognitive Services).

Hi all,

I’m Slamet PS, a 39 year old hobbist from Bandung, Indonesia. I love tinkering (IoT), also a gunpla modeller and collector and a drone pilot. I completed my first MagicMirror a few weeks a go. One of great products I have ever met.

I also develop a new module (MMM-RandomQuranAyah).

Still tuning the facial-recognition module and plan to add voice-control.
You can find me at FB, instagram, twitter and blog.

Hello everyone!

My name is Hart and I am 26 from California! I work in software support and am teaching myself some of the development and code aspects of things. I also run a small blog called The Gentlemen’s Society.

I started in the Home Automation world a few years ago when I wanted to make things easier for my wife and have been obsessed since then. I have been wanting a Raspberry Pi, but never pulled the trigger, until I found the MM project! It finally gave me the reason to buy one and now I want more. Got my first “mirror” up and running, which I am using as a dashboard on my TV.

Can’t wait to meet all of you and look forward to the awesome things to come! This is a great community!

@hartattack Your site could prove to be a great resource for the Gentleman ;)

Now work comes early so it’s off to bed I go!

Hello all,

I’m funkdafied a 43 year old newbie to the pi world and found the magic mirror and figured I would give it a try. I’m working on my first one and started with getting the system up, running, and configured the way I want before I build the frame. Looking forward to learning as much as I can.

Regards,

Hallo
Ich bin der Maik
Ich habe meine wurzeln in Berlin, lebe aber seit einiger zeit jetzt im Schönen Schweden.
Da die Winter hier etwas länger sind habe ich mir ein neues Hobby gesucht.
Ich Habe dabei den MagicMirror entdeckt.
Dieser hat es mir dann auch gleich angetan.
Mein erster versuch war zu einfach ich war nach 20 Minuten fertig. aber ich hatte kaum die Möglichkeit was zu verändern und das wollte ich dann auch wider nicht.
Mein ziel ist es ein System zusammen zustellen was etwas mehr kann außer Infos auszugeben er soll auf Sprachbefehle Reagieren mit einer Gesichtserkennung arbeiten.
Er soll automatisch die Temperatur des Systems kontrollieren.
Ein Smart Home soll auch integriert sein.
Verpasste anrufe erkennen und auch anzeigen.

ich weis es ist ein weiter weg bis zum Ziel aber es kommen noch Viele winter

@SChweden-Maik Hi Maik, welcome to the forum.

A lot of stuff you’re trying to achieve is already possible with MagicMirror. There several voice recognition modules, a face recognition module and also modules to show missed calls

Hi! This is Gerardo, from Mexico City, Mexico.
Currently CIO at a TV Ratings agency, and trying to build cool projects.
I have been trying to setup the mirror for some time now, but running into some difficulties, specifically with MMM-Alexa and a couple of other modules.
Great to see such a big community trying to build MM’s!

Thanks a lot and great to meet all.

I’m Stéphane from Belgium (Flemmish part). Noob in RPi and MM but willing to learn. :) My job is end user support for a international company, mainly Windows machines. Not building a Magic “Mirror” but it will be more something like a kiosk at home with some info for all house members (The Misses, the almost 3 year old girl and myself[47 years “old”). Still in discovery phase and looking at all modules that I could use. The spare time is filled with some nice motorbike rides in BE, NL or GER :)

@darrene Bonjour! I really want to use Cortana for a magic mirror, I am thinking about a Windows iot MM but not sure if I should. You experience?
