No, that was my Echo Dot. The PIR is somewhat visible in the second picture. There is a small ribbon cable going from the Pi to the PIR. It’s on the right side so anytime I want it on I just wave my hand on right of the mirror. It’s incredibly sensitive so I never have a problem waking it up.

I am in process of adding a PS3 Eye cam and using MMM-Hotword and MMM-AssistantMk2. Might even go as far as training facial recognition.

nice setup. one question what module did u use for background ? I have MMM-EasyPix but do not know how to put pic to fullscreen. Can you share your config ?

@dawees

You could use MMM-EasyPix as a background module but that is really not its purpose. Just try this module.

I use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow. Here is list of my modules:

Update: MMM-BackgroundSlideshow stopped working for me so I switched to MMM-EasyBack.

Looks realy great, good work!

What monitor did you use? Mine is bleeding it’s backlight through the mirror, which isn’t the case with your screen, according to the pictures.

[SubLim3]

@hannes23 So long as the light in front of the mirror is brighter than the monitor behind the mirror it won’t bleed through. I am using an old LCD screen I had lying around but an OLED would produce the best results as the black on those is truly black. I only get bleed through when I turn the light off in my room. If the light is on, all looks good.

A mirror with a higher transmission should also reduce the backlight bleeding since you won’t have to increase the brightness as much, creating a better black and therefore having better contrast.
