@tyho alright, now I understand your requirements… I can’t promise, but will try to have a look at this over a few coming days.

@tyho so what exactly you’re trying to implement? What would be a use case here for the MM?

@plumcraft strange, I’ve RPI 3 as well and I don’t see this problem … This may be related to which monitor/TV your RPI is connected.

@plumcraft which RPI you have?

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

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.

Very nice!

Instead of Google, you could also use Microsoft’s Bing service to get a map with accidents:

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

Try to put a call in your start method of the module (notification.js) to establish the connection with node_helper. Something like that:

this.sendSocketNotification(“CONNECT”, {});

I am debugging the MM2 on my Macbook Pro, so it should run on the Mac Mini. Just follow what @KirAsh4 has outlined in his reply.

Just wondering how are you going to use an old iPad as the monitor for the MacMini? Using Duet or something?

@tyho What I meant is you need to add socketNotificationReceived to your module notification.js.

If you override socketNotificationReceived in your module then you should receive the message from node_helper and can reset your flag appropriately.

@tyho, you can use setTimeout function to wait a for few seconds and then reset the text value. Something like that:

var self = this;
setTimeout(function(){
self.config.text = “”;
self.updateDom …
}, 3000);

Visual Studio Code rocks! It’s relatively new, but it’s very lightweight, run on any platform, includes intellisense and bunch of addins. Allows you debugging in the node.js…

@tyho said in VoiceControl module:

notificationReceived

You can put it in any other module that you would like to react on the voice command and then just call self.updateDom(self.config.animationSpeed);

Pull it or clone from the github into your MM modules directory. Go to the https://snowboy.kitt.ai, login with any of your emails, create voice models as much as you need and copy the pmdl files into the root folder, modify the config.js as it described in the Readme.md.

Hey guys, I’ve published the module: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/425/voicecontrol-module

Let me know if you have any issues.

Enjoy!
