Start or not...?

I use cheap Xiaomi sensors in all rooms in my house, displayed on MM.

Pi 3B has WiFi and bluetooth built-in. Pi 2B needs a USB dongle, but they’re not expensive.

Yes, I have Raspberry PI3.

If you want to display your house temperature, you need a smart thermostat like a Nest or an Ecobee. There exists a module for Nest, but I don’t know about Ecobee. Maybe you would relay that through Home Assistant?
If you want to display the weather outside, there are a bunch of weather modules available. I’m sure will suit your needs well.

I would like to display the “real” outdoor temperature, if possible using a temperature sensor.
I would like the real external and internal temperature (the internal one I will take from a smart thermostat) always be visible on my MM.
The temperatures acquired by the various modules are estimates…correct?

Which module for MM do you use?
Which xiaomi sensor do you use?

I have another questions:

• I bought the “Sonoff 4ch pro r2” but I do not understand how to make the Sonoff work together with the physical switch.
  Example:
  STEP 1: I turn on the light 1 with Sonoff
  STEP 2: I turn off the light 1 from the physical switch
  STEP 3: I turn on the light 1 with Sonoff
  It’s possible?

• Is it possible to receive feedback from the “Sonoff”?
  Example: I would like to know if the house gate is open or closed or if the garden light is on, etc …

• the “Sonoff 4ch pro r2” has a 433Mhz receiver (I think it is used to open the automatic gates …) and I would like to use it using a 433Mhz transmitter.
  Are there transmitters with 433Mhz for Raspberry?
  Have you tested someone?
  Could I use GA to open the gate at home?

Thank you for your precious help!!

Hello everyone and happy new year!
I returned the “Sonoff 4ch pro r2” because it was not for me!

During the Christmas holidays I started the installation of the Magic Mirror with all its modules.
These days I’m trying to install the module MMM-Assistantmk2 but I did not understand how to activate the assistant with my voice.
In the configuration of MMM-Assistantmk2 module I did not find a way to insert a watchword to wake up the Assistant.

Can you help me?
Do you need to install modules like “MMM-Hotword” and “MMM-NotificationTrigger”?

Thanks guys.

@egnos
MMM-Hotword is needed if you want to activate it with voice hotword.

Thanks Sean!
So if I only install the module “MMM-assistantmk2” how can I use it?
So if I only install the module “MMM-assistantmk2” I can not do anything … correct?

@egnos
You can activate it with touching or clicking icon (If you have a touchable/clickable input method like touchscreen or mouse).
Or You might have another input method like H/W button, or anything else. You can activate with other module which can emit notification. (Yes, Even default calendar module can activate this)
I wanted to make this universal.

[Egnos]

How can I activate it with the H / W keys?
Only for test…

This function be done directly with “MMM-assistantmk2” or should I always install “MMM-Hotword”?

@egnos function itself is included. But activating that function with hotword needs MMM-Hotword.

Ok, so I have to install MMM-Hotword.
Thanks

@sean I have some question on MMM-assistantmk2, MMM-Hotword and MMM-pages (or another module that creates multiple pages recommended by you…).

• MMM-assistantmk2: this module also speak Italian?

• MMM-Hotword: can I also use hot words in Italian?
  Or can I use only the English hot words shown in the configuration file?

customizable notification trigger
    notifications: {
      PAUSE: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
      RESUME: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
      LISTENING : "HOTWORD_LISTENING",
      SLEEPING : "HOTWORD_SLEEPING",
      ERROR : "HOTWORD_ERROR",

• MMM-pages (we accept advice…:winking_face: ): It is possible, through MMM-assistantmk2 or MMM-Hotword, to change page maybe saying: “Magic Mirror surveillance page or Magic Mirror multimedia page …”?
  If yes, how?

Thanks.
