Start or not...?

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?

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

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.

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?

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.

@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.

If you set your profile to it-IT, it would.

MMM-Hotword: can I also use hot words in Italian?

MMM-Hotword(snowboy) can’t understand the language itself. It just will match the pattern of your voice with defined models. So, that is not configurable. However you can create your custom private hotword model(.pmdl) and use it. See the Snowboy website. (http://kitt.ai)

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

First; You have to make gAction or transcriptionHook . Here is a sample for transcriptionHook

transcriptionHook: {
  "MY_HOOK_FOR_PAGE_2": {
    pattern: "change to page 2", 
    command: "PAGE_2",
  },
},

Then, you need to make a command to change page like this;

command: {
  "PAGE_2" : {
    notificationExec: {
      notification: "PAGE_CHANGED",
      payload: 2,
    },
  },
},

This is just sample, not tested. Read the instruction documents in repository.
