@jck hello mate
did you follow any step by step tutorial to install google assistant? or can you write one up as I tried to install it but failed miserably.

thanks.

@madscientist very well done and looks neat thanks for that

@leej00 hello mate

how did you configure the last part i.e.

STEP7. EDIT GOOGLE ASSISTANT MODULE CONFIG
Open the Magic Mirror configuration file with TextEditor and modify it with the contents of github

there is soo much information on github that needs to be added on to the config.js, which part of it did you add to your config.js? can you please share it?

I get the google icon on my mm but when I say “Ok Google” nothing happens"

Thanks.

@madscientist is it possible to share a photo please?

@MadScientist is your pir visible near your mirror?as it wouldn’t work behind the mirror.

@yep_DD are you talking about the rcwl0516? I have read that using a low value resistor can decrease the range of detection up to 5cm. Trouble is I don’t where to connect the additional resistor and the low value of it too.

@MadScientist @yep_DD Thanks for the replies. Is there anyway to limit the distance that the radar sensor senses? I have my magic mirror in the bath room and it faces the wooden door which I believe will be detecting motion through it and I don’t want that.

Hi @yep_DD

Fantastic Work !

May I ask how did you connect your rcwl0516 sensor and what module did you use to integrate it with MM? Are there any instructions I can follow?

Thanks.

@emlowe using the 12V 5A how much does the rpi get then? more than the advertised 1.5A or? In the future I would consider using the usb ports of the rpi.

Thanks.

@ctessier hey well done on setting up everything.

I want to know how much current are you getting from the board using the 5V pin? Are you getting 1.5Amp as stated in the data sheet or are you getting more than 1.5A because you are using the 12V 5A adapter to power the whole board?

Many thanks.
