Yeah, metric “Feels” value returns Imperial data.

TO fix this open “currentWeather.js” and change:

switch (this.config.units){
			case "metric": this.feelsLike = (Hindex / 2.2).toFixed(0);
				break;

You have to divide by 2.2 in order to return approximate metric values.
The value doesn’t have to be perfect because it has a fixed decimal place of zero.

Now in Canada it “Feels 40” degress instead of 80, which is correct!

Thanks @MichMich, I’d do a pull request but I suck at pull requests LOL.

You’re the man!

@alfred Microsoft cognitive sense api

@e3v3a Sure I can share it!

There is a bit of a setup to get things rolling, but in the end, the security camera/alexa/Cognitive neural network is quite on point.

The best part is that if the neural network does get confused, the image is sent to the magic mirror anyway. So, Alexa will apologize for not being able to gather image information but will remind you to look at the magic mirror alert.

However, in both instances, the security camera image is posted on the mirror.

@e3v3a so it would seem that the cache is in place to keep those images from a constant request situation.

However, now that you mention using FA icons on the alerts; I wasn’t able to successfully request FA images in my alerts.

Do you have an example of how you are doing it I could see?

@ninjabreadman said in Quick Question regarding Magic Mirror cache:

http://192.168.2.48:8080/api/v1/modules/alert/show_ALERT?timer=10500&imageUrl=http://192.168.2.18:9920/security/values/2%3F
{INSERT TIMESTAMP HERE}&imageHeight=220px

Thaaaaank you sir! absolutely spot on! Now Alexa will describe the person in the security image (using M$ cognitive sense API), and the mirror in the kitchen flashes the security image as an alert.

Pretty bad@$$ actually!

Upon further research, perhaps it is Electron which is cache the image.

And I might be wrong but it looks as though clearing cache has to happen in the core of the application.

Something like “session.Clear()”

Hi!
Recently I have been using Magic Mirrors alert system, along with the RESTful(ish) Api to show an image from my home security camera.

Example API POST request:

"http://192.168.2.48:8080/api/v1/modules/alert/show_ALERT?timer=10500&imageUrl=http://192.168.2.18:9920/security/values/2&imageHeight=220px";

Where the image is being served on a custom security web server.

Everything is working quite nicely using the API module, however, it would seem that the magic mirror server is keeping an image in a cache and will repeat the same image over and over despite the POST request sending it a more current image.

Is there a way to clear the Magic Mirrors cache?
Perhaps a command I can send through the API prior to giving the Alert module the new image?

I hope this question is making sense to the lead developers.

I can go into more detail and explain the workflow further if this isn’t making sense to anyone.

Many thanks!

Yep, Zwave for sure. If you use something like Vera, the entire system is on lockdown. From there you can use their API to code whatever interface you want.

As far as Arduino is concerned, I have built my own automated blinds using, Arduino nano, Nrf24l01 and some Servos. But, any kind of retrofit Zwave controller are probably best.

People are probably more prone to sniff wifi on the 2.4 band, or the 802.11 band then on zwave… although anything is possible.

“If we’re not totally secure, then we are not secure”… or something like that…

I trust Zwave most… personally.

This looks great! Weldone!

Have you ever heard of Microwave Radar Induction Switch Human Motion Sensor Module

pretty neat stuff. you could have the mirror turn on when it is triggered to high.

Then only have those reading matter during certain times of day :)

Added a more stable version to Github. I’m looking to build a .netcore version so it will run on a debian plateform.
