      Hi there,

      I’m currently working on my MM. I have a 37" full HD tv that I will be using with the Pi 3B+.
      And I have added some modules to the standard mirror config.
      But I have found some modules that I can interact with. Like multpiple pages.
      This allows me/us to put modules on different pages much like on a smartphone.
      Standard it’s been set to rotate with a certain interval. but it can also be set to take a mouse click to take it to the next page.

      But I don’t want to put a small keyboard with trackpad next to the mirror.
      I’m looking for some idea’s!
      So… tell me: how do you interact with your Magic Mirror?

        Could just use VNC to connect to it with your phone that way can change stuff from the sofa shut down reboot open web page, but the pi isn’t/hasn’t got real power but not bad it will do my mirror stuff so not bad

          i think you could use voice to advance pages… see MMM-Voice and Hello-Lucy modules

              @dazza120 if u look at the hello-lucy module file, you can see the comnands.

              Hello-lucy is really show and hide.

              So, show page two. Etc

                  You can integrate one or more button into your mirror frame to do all sorts of things. Wire them up to the GPIO and you can use MMM-Buttons, for example, to have them do things.

                  My mirror has one buttons. When in powered off mode, the button starts up the Pi. When MagicMirror is running, a single press restarts MM, and a long press shuts the pi down. You could similarly have a button to cycle from one page to the next with each button press, or several buttons to do very specific things.

                    Hi, I can help you get one module working with Hello Lucy. This should be enough for you to do others on your own. Sound good? Let me know.

                      I just have added Lucy to my “modules to add” list!:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
                      I’ll try to figure it out myself first (that’s the most fun) If not… @Mykle1 Is it okay to send you a message?

                        @mykle1 does it sound good it sounds great! The farthest that I got was install the three new files in the MMM-voice folder. The other stuff like adding the pages and modules blow my tiny mind. Help would be much appreciated
