    • can i pay you to help me set up these modules?

      long story short,

      i built a mirror for my wife for xmas, but im struggling trying to get all of the modules working that i would like. i would like it if some one could help me get these sorted,

      these are the modules i would like to use

      alexa
      assistant (for voice control)
      selfie
      motion detection (with 8mp pi camera)
      also i would like to add a voice control to be able to turn on some embeded LEDs that i have in the frame.

      the frame i have built is made out of solid maple, and has a 42 inch monitor behind it.

      is there any one who is interested in this?

    • RE: MM and UBUNTU. Made for each other.

      not gonna lie, i actually have a i5 mini pc laying around and have been fiddling with the pis for weeks now trying to get everything dialed in and your post got me a little pumped to be able to use this pc i got.

      i got ubuntu installed no problem…

      i know NOTHING about it so i couldnt even get past how to install the wireless adapter lol…

      so im scrapping this and going back to install raspbian on the pc and will try it at that point.

    • RE: The Mystic Mirror: An Alexa-powered Magic Mirror

      @darianbjohnson just came across this post, and sorry for necromancing, but i am curious if you ever finished that new version that alignes with the official base code?

      i just discovered this project and i love the look of the new Magic Mirror 2, but really want the alexa and selfie functionality.

    • voice control with selfie functionality?

      So like every other person on here, im a total noob, and in typical Bat_Fastard fashion i think i bit off more than i could chew.

      these are the components im currently using:

      sharp 40 inch monitor,
      HDMI cable
      New Raspberry pi3b+
      sandisk ultra 16g sdhc micro sd card
      new multi output ppower supply, (120 in outputs 12 and 5v,
      ultra white LEDs
      12v relay hat
      new pi cam v2 8MP
      circle LED board
      using the 3.5mm audio out run to a set of elcheapo speakers
      USB Blue Snowball microphone

      What i want;
      is the typical Magic Mirror installation, with the weather, the rss feeds and the calendar, i wanted to add the selfie function ( for my wife who sells clothing and takes a million selfies ) only what i want to happen is i have some LED channel that i will embed inside the frame of the face of the mirror. when i she says mirror take a selfie, i want it to turn on all of the LEDS as to illuminate her front (which i plan to do via the relay, only switching one of the GPIOs to control it) there will also be a ringed LED hidden behind the glass to illuminate where to look for the selfie.

      i just assumed that the modules would be pretty much plug and play and for the most part they are. how ever ive been struggling with this one and i cant for the life of me figure out what im doing wrong.

      i have MMM assistant running, i can talk to it, and it can talk to me, i also have snowboy running so that you can use the google assistant, everything is great.

      i have the MMM- selfie module installed, i have the code inside the config. js, how ever when ever i ask it to take a selfie, it just says “trying to get a selfie with message”

      im thinking about scrapping the assistant and selfie, as the assistant is depreciated and isnt being supported any more, and the guy who wrote the selfie module doesn’t want to respond to his messages or anything on his git.

      also i like the idea of using alexa because its free, and using the google assistant will end up costing money in the long run.

      could some one point me in the direction on how i can get this working?
