@leduy87vnhn could you give us some information on how you integrated Google Home with MM.
Thanks

I do not give up::face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
it is possible to resize MM so that it does not occupy the whole screen and remains a side band where you can stack the various “omxplayer” streams?

Thanks

@cyberphox said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

I run mine in Docker on my Synology. Use a pi behind the mirror for viewing with PIR hooked up to it.

Very Good

@cyberphox said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

As for voice, yeah you might be outta luck there.

I know it! Someone on the forum has done something … but there is no feedback !

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

esign assumes the hardware is near

To solve the PIR problem I could wire the sensor to the GPIO of the Raspberry connected to the monitor (away from the Raspberry Server on the Synology) and turn the monitor off / on using a few lines of code (something I should find on the internet … do you have any advice ?) that run externally to the MM.

For voice commands I would like to use GoogleHome/EchoDot Alexa (better quality of voice recognition, integrated speaker, google/alexa functions, etc …) to send commands to the MM Server.
This last part is still being studied … I see that someone on the forum has tried the GH-MM combination but I don’t see many results …

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

no… in server mode that code is not running. those are web page components of the modules, so only running on the PI browser…

If I understand correctly, when the MM is in “Server Mode” inside the Synology, it is not possible to send requests and therefore not receive replies? Correct?

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

@egnos ok, so you would run MM in server mode… no UI locally

Yes!

Thanks @sdetweil for the post, I just read but in my opinion @martinhood’s solution is not very stable.

At this point I was thinking of a solution like this:

• With Google Home / Alexa Echo Dot positioned near the RPi Client, I send voice commands to the MM Server in the Synology (I don’t know how to do it …)
• MM Server in Synology respond to requests (MM switch page, MM turn on, MM turn off, MM youtube, etc …).
• MM Server, MM Client and Google Home / Alexa Echo Dot connected in the same network with router

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

@egnos I think u don’t use the pi hardware in this

I would use an RPi connected to a monitor just to view the web page…

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

without the pi hardware there are no gpio pins.
so PIR becomes a problem.

I think so too.

@sdetweil said in Voice Control on MagicMirror Synology Docker:

I don’t know how u assign the USB mic to the container. maybe u don’t have to.

Why don’t I have to?
How would I send voice commands to the MM contained in the Synology?

Hi guys,
I was thinking of moving my MagicMirror in my Synology.

Considering an environment in which the Synology is located far (in the cellar …) from the Raspberry PI, and the Raspberry PI will only manage the browser part:

• How would speech recognition modules work?
• Where should the microphone and speakers be connected?
• Where should the RIP be connected to detect presence?
• What are the advantages of this setup?

Thanks and good holidays!

@raf Also I’m trying to understand how to use a physical GoogleHome to control the MM.
It is also discussed in this topic of 2019, but I do not know if it is still valid as a method or new solutions have come out today …

Hi @fribse, do you use physical Google Home or do you run Google Assistant on the RPI? Thanks

@leduy87vnhn could you give us some information on how you integrated Google Home with MM.
Thanks

@0m4r thanks for answering me.
Now it works without my intervention!

Where can I find the news you are working on?
