I’ve managed to create the VoiceControl module based on Snowboy Hotword detection: https://snowboy.kitt.ai/

@darrene You’re missing parenthesis in your call to frombase64:

this.frombase64();

Here’s how the module based on WebGL looks like on my dev box:

It displays twitter stream of the tweets that have location. Red lines signify the negative sentiment and green positive. White is neutral.

@strawberry-3.141 I have a feeling that the camera is not properly captured from the client side js code. I am going to create a dev branch with a lot more logging soon.

You should be able to access it from other computers. Make sure that you’re using the RPI’s current ipaddress.

I’ve found a web service which provides free intraday stock quotes. You will only need to register to get an API key.

The code in the module will need to be modified though to parse a different payload result. I will try to update it today or tomorrow.

I’ve published the Motion detector module that I’ve been using for a while. It uses a web camera connected to a Raspberry Pi.

You can find it here:

https://github.com/alexyak/motiondetector

The configuration should be pretty straightforward.

I’ve just published the camera module. Besides displaying a video feed on your mirror, it could also take photos and email them.

I’ve updated the code to support the new API’s from https://iextrading.com/developer/docs/#stocks. Which BTW, doesn’t even require registration.

Here’s a basic module traffic map module to display a static map with a route and traffic based on bing api’s:

'use strict';

Module.register('maproute',{
	
	defaults: {
        key: "your_bing_map_key",
        start: "Morganville, NJ",
        end: "New York, NY",
	},
	
	start: function() {
		Log.info('Starting module: ' + this.name);
	},

        // Override dom generator.
	getDom: function() {
		var wrapper = document.createElement("img");
                wrapper.style = "position:center; width:600px; height:600px;";
                wrapper.src = "http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Imagery/Map/Road/Routes?wp.0=" + this.config.start + ";46&wp.1=" + this.config.end + ";46&mapLayer=TrafficFlow&TravelMode=Driving&mapSize=600,600&key=" + this.config.key;
		return wrapper;
	}

});

Unfortunately there’s no way to change the style of the map on bing (black and white). You can get your map key from here:

Thanks… Alex

@Cato exactly my point. We already live “in the future” how all these campaigns promise :)

Another one: “MagicMirror² has an extensive documentated API.”
It should probably be “MagicMirror² has an extensively documented API.”

Very nice!

@wjdw87 The links are on the Youtube page

There’s another option to use a cloud service from Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api. It should be enough to have just one good picture of your student uploaded to the server. I’ve got a basic module working that uses these api’s, but it’s not at the stage that I can publish it for everybody yet.

Sorry, guys, the problem should be fixed now. Just pull the latest.

This is all nice and dandy but configuring and installing all of these dependencies and then making this run is really fragile process. On a top of that it seems like RPI hardware is not really capable of running this. So a few days ago I’ve got Amazon’t Alexa device - Dot and spend sometime connecting it to the MM on RPI and it works very well. (Voice recognition, passing commands, parameters, etc…)
So essentially we are bypassing all of this goo that these guys put together such as Speech AI, Voice Reco, TTS and connecting the result to MM.

I think using https://snowboy.kitt.ai is the best approach right now for detecting a hot word and then continuing with the google one (annyang). The same way the guy at the http://docs.smart-mirror.io has done it.

@djsunrise19 It looks like their iPhone app doesn’t support notifications which is understandable due to restrictions Apple has for ability to hook into global notifications on the device.

@Cato How hard it would be to add the code to actually play the music on the RaspPi?
