      Just wanted to share how I use Alexa to control the mirror. I use Home Assistant together with Node Red. With the MMM remote module I can restart, hide or do whatever I want. I send the coammand via HTTP get from Node Red.

        Very nice!

        Can you tell More about your project?
        I want to build the same feature with Alexa. How do you implement this?

          Nice, very nice.
          Nice control with your Alexa integration but
          i am amazed before the bright and very realistic reflection of your mirror.
          I use a mirror Pilkington MirroView and the reflection is too dark, impossible for my wife to imagine using makeup before.
          Is it my room that is too dark or the black background behind the mirror not adapted, or just this mirror that is not a good choice ?

          Can you give us some information on the mirror you used ? Are the color like a random mirror ?
          Your integration in the wall is also very successful.
          Very good job.
          Just an observation, for me, your work on this mirror deserves a more beautiful frame ;-)

            I do the same thing without node red. Using the MMM-Remote-Control module.

            Here is the switch in HomeAssistant to turn on/off MMM-Snow

                mmsnow:
                  command_on: 'curl "http://192.168.0.163:8090/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"'
                  command_off: 'curl "http://192.168.0.163:8090/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"' 
            

            Mine just turns on off based on the weather, but you could expose this to Alexa and tell her to turn it on and off.

              Hi @jasondreher could you tell me the steps to give a command to MM using GoogleHome through MMM-Remote-Control?
              Thanks

                I don’t know much about google home, you will have to read up or find out how to share Home Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_assistant/ with google home. Once you can do that you can create a switch (like above) then turn the switch on and off.

                My suggestion would be…

                1. Grab that Raspberry Pi that is lying around and install Home Assistant.
                2. Learn a little about HA and how it runs
                3. Add https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_assistant/
                4. Create switch like above.

                  @jasondreher I understood that you used GA to send commands to the MM.
                  So what do you use?

                  Thanks
