@Sean
haha thanks! I tried it first thing when i got home from school last night and everything worked perfectly, the clock was spot on! I’m going to call the fix to my problem being the school’s internet. At my school they have something on all the computers that freezes everything on the back to a specific time so i’m thinking that functionally maybe part of my problem… I don’t know but it works at home and that’s mostly what I care about. When I turn in the project I’ll just put in my write up that the school’s internet is messing with the security portion of the smart mirror and hope my teacher doesn’t ding me to much :/

@dk7988
Found this,this, and this on stackoverflow. I’m still going through it to see if/how it applies to me but though it might be worth throwing up here.

@Sean
Aww… i see that sucks (talking about the ISS blah things)

Yay! I have news! haha
Good first: I took it home turned it on and didn’t really change anything (except I added some more classes to some of the modules in the config file) and everything started working both fac.recon and the assistant (both snowboy and smart mirror were working).

The Bad: right now i’m at the school trying the same thing that worked at home and fac.recon and half of the assistant is working (smart mirror still will not work, snowboy works fine) still getting the same error. I also tried running just the assistant and got the same thing.

After reading the error again “Check your iat and exp values and use a clock with skew to account for clock differences between systems.” is popping out to me. Do you know how i might be able to check my iat and exp values? actually what are “iat” and “exp” values? and do you know how i might be able to use a “clock with skew to account for clock differences between systems”?

1.) I ran npm start dev and the only thing i could see that was wrong was in the ‘console’ the last line it said [ASSTNT] Error: RECOGNIZESTREAM VM93 MMM-Assistant.js:412 am I looking in the right place? I tried researching to figure out how to find the terminal log but i had no luck. Do you have any ideas how i can find it?

2.) I tried running npm install node-aplay in the assistant folder and got this
MMM-TelegramBot@1.0.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Assistant
└── node-aplay@1.0.3

npm WARN MMM-TelegramBot@1.0.0 No repository field.
npm WARN MMM-TelegramBot@1.0.0 No license field.

I wasn’t sure what the WARN was trying to tell me (I assumed it wasn’t good) so i also ran sudo npm install node-aplay and got the same thing. Either way ding and dong still don’t play.

3.) I think some how it’s the schools internet cause last night and Thursday night everything (including the clock) worked perfectly at home. Now the clock is back to being 12+ hours off and smart mirror won’t work. Any thoughts on the clock and smart mirror problem being related?

Thanks again for all your help!

@Sean
1.) The only two places I’ve tried running it alone has been at home and at the school. At home, both ‘MIRROR’ and ‘ASSISTANT’ functions seem to be working but ding.wav and dong.wav don’t play. At the school, only ‘ASSISTANT’ functions seem to be working and the .wav files still don’t play either. If i asked it “what was the score of monday night’s fooball game?” it came back with answers but if i said “smart mirror, list all commands” or “list all modules” it wouldn’t do anything and the symbol (lower left corner) was stuck on the “#” symbol. So, I’m not quite sure how to answer that… i’m going to say kinda?

2.) No worries, thanks for making it! It’s a pretty sweet module! I wish I understood it more or the MM platform in general better I have some ideas I’d like to add to it. I’ll try it with another mic and see what that does. Could you recommend some mic.s you know work?

3.)
Admins, can I get some help with these, please?

4.) Off topic, but as I was going through the files for MMM-Assistant and noticed a file called ISS something (can’t remember the full name) so i clicked on it and started looking at some of the code… is the stuff in that folder for the assistant or something else?

Hello All,
I’m trying to use MMM-Assistant and MMM-Facial-Recognition together and I’m getting some weird things happening and I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t have MMM-Assistant installed correctly or what but here’s what’s happening.

1. I noticed after I had everything installed and ran MMM-Assistant with the mirror ding.wav would not play and nothing would happen if I said either hotword. I started researching and messing with stuff, I had Pandora playing on the rpi in the background. By accident, I ran MMM-Assistant and I could hear ding.wav play over pandora but neither hotword would work. I kept researching and found this link to snowboy’s docs I gave it a go and YAHTZEE!! the mic and the speakers started working with the Assistant but I still can’t hear ding.wav or dong.wav play so I figured why not try it with Pandora playing in the background again… no part of the MM with load… should have guessed that… haha

2. When I tried to run both MMM-Assistant and MMM-Facial-Recognition together the facial recon. works and the hotword kind of works (meaning the symbol in the corner will flip to a different one but nothing past that). My internet was kinda left of center last nite while I was messing with everything so it was intermittently working when I finally gave up on it for the night so ctrl+q the MMM and saw all this in my terminal. I understand what some of it means but I’m lost with what the exceptions are trying to say. I tried it again at school today to make sure it wasn’t my environment at the house and got the same result.

3. While I was at school I figure I could run just the MMM-Assistant and try to show it off a little but all the “MIRROR” commands would not work and all this showed up in the terminal.

I think it’s trying to say the clock on my rpi is messed up? maybe? not sure… But I did notice ever since I bought it and loaded Debian Jessie on it the clock has never been right (upper right corner of the desktop, the MMM clock has been correct a couple times). Today when this happened the rpi clock said it was 12:38 AM but it was really 1:10 PM I messed with all the time settings in “sudo raspi-config” and the only thing I could get it to do right was the timezone change it never flipped over to PM (i live in Arizona)

A.) Is the clock my problem for this? and
B.) I’ve tried what feels like a million things to get the clock right does anyone know how I can fix the clock?

Sorry for writing a small book and hopefully all the events make sense. if anyone could shed any light on any of my problems I would be greatly appreciative!

@dmcinnes
You are awesome!! thank you! that did the trick!

@dmcinnes
Oohh!! are you thinking cause the folder names is ‘MMM-Facial-Recognition-master’ and in the MagicMirror config.js file it says “module: “MMM-Facial-Recognition”,
config: { … etc” and/or in the MMM-Facial-Recognition/…/config.py file it says “Module.register(“MMM-Facial-Recognition”,
{ defaults: {…etc” and not
‘MMM-Facial-Recognition-master’? I can see how that would make since, I’ll give it a try later tonite when I get home.

@dmcinnes
Hello, thanks for getting back to me. I’m not sure what your asking :/ I’m unfamiliar with the whole “checked out” part but the location of the node_helper.js file is at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-master/node_helper.js

Hello all,
First I wanna say I’m new to forums in general so if I posted this in the wrong place a guiding hand would be much appreciated. Secondly I’m kinda new to rpi and super new to magic mirror. I’ve done a couple cool projects but this facial recognition is kicking my but! I’ve been researching and trying different things off and on for about two weeks now trying to figure this out with no luck. I tried using 50+ pictures with all three algorithms, I’ve completely reloaded raspbian, magic mirror^2, and MMM-Facial-Recognition with the only good that came from it was getting Facial-Recognition-Tools to start working. When I run ‘facerecognition.py’ it was able to figure out my buddy Dakota and myself but when I try to run it with the magic mirror it seems like it’s not doing anything. Below I have all three different Magic Mirror config.js files i used (in an attempt to try to figure something/ anything out), my three different “classes” (hopefully that’s what i made :/ ), MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools-master config.py file, and the Terminal output with each config.js file (1-3) i tried and the out come. if someone could point me in the right direction of what I’m doing wrong I would GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

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

Out Come:
Calendar, current weather, Forecast, Clock, news feed and “Hello Nick!” all show up but went i put my hand over the camera “Hello Nick!” still stays visible.
