    • RE: MMM-AssistantMk2 (v3)

      I usually use Gassistpi which is not implemented in MagicMirror.

      This reacted to Ok Google. That is why I thought it worked similarly.

      Thank you for this additional information,

      I will take the test this weekend

    • RE: MMM-AssistantMk2 (v3)

      Thank you for your reply,
      I thought that to trigger it, we could simply say “ok google” if we did not want to customize the keyword (Jarvis, Smartmirror …) using MMM-hotword.

    • RE: MMM-AssistantMk2 (v3)

      Hello,

      First of all, thank you both for this wonderful work.

      I have a question that may seem silly, but is it mandatory to install MMM-Hotword with this module in order to trigger the wizard?

    • 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.

    • RE: Can't seem to get PlayStation 3 Eye Camera to work

      @jmartin1009 said in Can't seem to get PlayStation 3 Eye Camera to work:

      @chris also when i tried to do the second line of the pulseaudio install, i got

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install pauvcontrol gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree        
      Reading state information... Done
      E: Unable to locate package pauvcontrol
      

      what do i do to fix this, thanks!

      Hello,

      it is actually pavucontrol and not pauvcontrol as yawms rightly pointed out.

      the .asound.conf file is a hidden file. right-click in the file explorer window and choose to show hidden files. Normally it will appear.

      In any case, if there is no sudo nano command .asound.conf in the terminal will create this file.

      as sdetweil tells you, stick to the point at the beginning of the file.

      Modify your ~ / .asoundrc and /etc/asound.conf files

      sudo nano /etc/asound.conf
      
      sudo nano .asoundrc
      

      with this code:

      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,

    • 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.

      Pourriez-vous m’indiquer où trouver ce module actif pour la France?

      Hello,

      Thank you for your answer.
      I tried install valid-urlbut it did not change anything.
      I solved the problem using a backup of the pi that I had (thankfully) done.
      I updated the pi and everything is working properly.
      this bug will definitely remain a mystery …

    • MagicMirror does not start anymore

      Hello everyone,

      I am coming to you because of a problem that I can not solve.
      I rebooted my magic mirror and relaunched it. While everything was working correctly until now, it shows me a black screen.
      I started this one with the command npm start dev and it shows me the following error:

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start dev

      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
      Launching application.
      
      

      I made an update of my raspberry and made a npm install in the MagicMirror folder but that does not change anything.

      Could someone give me a track to solve this problem?

      Thanking you in advance,

    • RE: Using Google Assistant SDK

      @mykle1

      the basic instructions posted in the wiki are:

      You can control the Magic Mirror running on a Magic Mirror running on the same pi as GassistPi.
      As a prerequisite, you should have the remote control module installed in the Pi running Magic Mirror.
      Enter the Ip address of Pi running Magic Mirror in the main.py script against the variable "mmmip" declared.
      
      Command Syntax:
      To show / hide weather module: "Hey Google, Show / Hide Weather on Magic Mirror"
      
      To turn magic mirror display on / off: "Hey Google, Turn Mirror Magic display on / off"
      
      To power off / reboot / restart Magic Mirror: "Hey Google, Power Off / Reboot / Restart Magic Mirror"
      

      So, I think it must be possible to add orders.

      Hello,

      there is also GassistPi

      https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi

      It can include instructions for the MagicMirror.

      It has been about two months since I use it and I am very happy.

      Hello,

      After a total reinstall of the recent raspberry to integrate Google Assist Pi, I also have the same problem.

      After watching, I end up with an empty screen after about 6 hours. I am forced to restart MagicMirror via the MMM-Remote-Control module.
      On the other hand I do not have xsceensaver of installed but the modification of the lines of command indicated in the wiki of installation of MM

      I did not experience this problem before. The only difference between my two installations is the 2.3.1 update of MagicMirror.
      Would it affect?

      Hello,

      I have also tried to reinstall this module since its update but I also failed to make it work. I will wait until the wiki is updated because I did not understand the entire installation process.
      I have the impression that elements of the old installation procedure and the new one have mixed up and it is not very clear.
      Anyway, thanks for the work done by E3V3A to make this module work.
