    • Magic mirror Pi3 + Windows 7 1.60m x 0.60m

      Hello,

      First of all, I want to thank all the contributors of this forum without whom I could not have created my mirror.

      It has been about three months since I attended this forum silently to finally be able to present you my work.

      I wanted to make a mirror to put it in my living room above a buffet.

      The buffet being very long, it was necessary to create a mirror imposing enough to dress the wall.

      So I left on dimensions of 1.60 meters by 0.60 meter.

      This allowed me to go through a 32-inch screen.

      having a home containing a lot of home automation (blinds, lights, heating, cameras, …) I wanted to be able to order some of my equipment thanks to the mirror.

      So I started to install magic mirror on a raspberry pi 3. I started to have problems with the display of the cameras on magic mirror. Even with a 32-inch screen, there is a moment when all the modules you want to put have no place to display.

      So, as I had room, I told myself that I could add a separate 19-inch screen for the cameras, on a Windows computer that I used to PVR.

      so I insert in the mirror:

      1 raspberry 3 for magic mirror
      1 32-inch screen for the magic mirror

      1 acer veriton under windows 7 for cameras
      1 19-inch screen for cameras.

      I started by mounting the frame. I wanted the mirror glass to be directly glued to the chassis with a 5 cm deflection to hide all the switches.

      In addition, it was necessary that the 5 cm of the mirror is opaque because I wanted to put an LED strip for the light. so I had a special primer for car windshields.

      For the mirror, I’m lucky to have a friend who works in a factory. So I could have a 6mm laminated glass spy mirror of 1.60 * 0.60 at a very good price.

      I stuck the mirror on the chassis with windshield glue.
       
      after all these explanations, place some photos:

      I added to magic mirror the OPENJARVIS solution for voice control.

      I plugged a rf 433 module on the ft and I can ask the mirror to turn on the lights, to open the shutters.

      With jarvis I can have the weather, the radio, the way … to the voice. I think it’s a good complement for magic mirror.

      I installed the following modules:

      [Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror
      Calendar Monthly
      Calendar
      My commute (x3)
      Soccer live score
      Soccer
      World
      Clock
      Suncalc
      Wunderground,
      Newsfeed,
      Snow

      I failed to install the following modules:

      MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module (each indicates standby but no info appears)
      MMM-Jarvis-Voice-Control (the microphone does not appear on the magic mirror interface)

      Here…

      I hope I have not been too long in the presentation.

      Hoping that in my turn I can help forum members as you have helped me a lot.

      PS: Sorry for the translation … Google translate is my friend;)

    • RE: Boosting USB mic or best mic choice

      Hello,

      I have a very good result with a sony ps3 eye webcam.
      It contains 4 pickups so picks well even with a significant distance. (up to about 5 to 7 meters).
      I use it for google assistant and she captures the key word even when the ambient noise is present (television, people talking in the room, etc …)

      Cannot read property ‘observation_location’ of undefined

      Not seeing your location…

      I corrected the pws value and it works. I made a mistake in the way of writing it.

      pws: "pws:I93SEVRA3",
      

      instead of

      pws: "I93SEVRA3",
      

      Sorry to have bothered you for so little

      Thank you very much for your help

      This. Is. Awesome!

      My jaw still hurts from when it fell to the ground of amazement :-O

      Wow this is looking awesome, one of the best I have seen so far.

      Hello,

      Thank you very much for the compliments.

      @cowboysdude said in Magic mirror Pi3 + Windows 7 1.60m x 0.60m:

      WOW very nice job!!! I don’t recall seeing you asking questions in the NOAA weather module forum…

      In fact, I did not ask any questions on the subject. I tried by myself by reading all the posts.

      However, I do not admit to being defeated … I was going to try to make it work again today.
      I’ll go over the right topic to share the results.

      open a terminal and install pulseaudio:

      sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
      
      sudo apt-get install pavucontrol gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
      
      

      reboot and in the menu of raspbian you should see a tab allowing you to access the pulseaudio settings (sound and video tabs).

      The PS3 mic will appear in it.

      I hope I have been clear in my indications,

    • MMM-Google Assistant

      Hello,
      I am trying to install this module but I am having problems with a step of the installation of the Google Assistant SDK.
      (https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/embed/register-device)
      Everything is fine until the step “Register the Device Model”.
      Indeed, when I use the registration tool, it does not work.
      I tried the command:

      (env) $ googlesamples-assistant-devicetool register-model --manufacturer "Assistant SDK developer" \
                --product-name "Assistant SDK light" --type LIGHT --model my-project-1505046981535-my-model1
      

      Each time I have the following error message:

      Error: Error loading client secret: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'client_secret_xxxxx-m88slnqk24bqul282n0nnogs10sck6qo.apps.googleusercontent.com.json'.
      Run the device tool with --client-secrets or --project-id option.
      Or copy the client_secret_xxx-xxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com.json file in the current directory.
      

      Could someone tell me the procedure to follow?

      Thank you in advance,

    • RE: Autostart MM after reboot doesn't work

      Hello,

      I had the same problem with pm2.

      Indeed, I reinstalled several times, and each time everything went well. I created my mm.sh file and saved it.

      However, each time I restarted my PI, it was not taken into account.

      I solved this problem by following this thread:

      PM2 MM2 Not starting on start up

      especially the shbatm solution as the last message.

      By the way thank you to him.

      @hayman

      Hello,
      thanks for the compliment

      Do you want to talk about the open-jarvis solution or the MMM-Jarvis-Voice-Control module?

      For open-jarvis, it works very well and there are many plug-ins available.
      By cons, I did not try to reinstall MMM-Jarvis-Voice-Control.

      I am fighting with MMM-Assistant right now … :s

    • RE: Can't get pm2 to auto launch after reboot

      Hello,
      test this:

      there is an existing script provided by MagicMirror now, please try deleting everything on your ~/.pm2 directory, then using:

      sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi"
          pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
          pm2 save
      

      You may have to use systemd instead of linux in the first line if you get an error.

      This solution is not mine but Shbatm.

      For the frame, medium-type wood.
      The thickness of the chassis depends on the size of the mirror,
