Interesting thought, haven’t even thoguht of that.
Afaik THIS magicmirror is not that easy to install natively on Android.
Have you seen this page?
https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/android-app-magic-mirror/
Sums it up quite well, and an interesting read.
Adafruit have also done an Android mirror:
https://learn.adafruit.com/android-smart-home-mirror
Maybe worth trying out another system or app…
Now you have my full attention! :-)
Sounds exciting! Good luck with development!
Do you now jasper?
“Jasper is an open source platform for developing always-on, voice-controlled applications”
https://jasperproject.github.io/
Maybe worth a look?
E.g.:
“Julius is a high-performance open source speech recognition engine. It does not need an active internet connection. Please note that you will need to train your own acoustic model, which is a very complex task that we do not provide support for. Regular users are most likely better suited with one of the other STT engines listed here.”
(from the documentation)
Maybe I have missed this from someone else, but one important thing about the whitelisting message:
“This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.”
The EXACT SAME message appears (in my case) if the config.js has syntax errors. Locally your mirror will tell you that there is no config file or just give you a black screen, but if you try to reach it from outside through a browser (Firefox and Chrome in my case) with a broken config.js, you will get the whitelisting message above.
So, before trying to get your ipWhitelist in the right shape, make sure you have no other syntax errors with the mirror, e.g. using
npm run config:check
If you had some and had them corrected, be safe and restart the mirror.
Below you can see the example in my case.

I always read that Alexa is still far superior to the Google Service.
Have you tried the modules provided here?
Nevertheless, I can’t see the video yet but the picture you’re showing looks very promising.
What hardware (mic and speaker) are you using?
I installed Alexa once on a pi but haven’t done a lot with it. Will install it again in the near future. But presumably not on the mirror.
@Mykle1
Mykle, I’ve yet only heard that for the MMM-Globe module, which apparently is too much graphics for a Pi3. Is there any other example?
Or are you referring to the load of multiple modules?
I even use a RasPi 2 and - until now - can’t see why it wouldn’t be sufficient.
Hi KMHO,
you have some missing indentations (how are these things called in english again??) making it hard to read. It’s advisable always to make the right indentations.
Also, you didn’t include the whole config in code tags. Making it also harder to read.
a good way to check your config is running
npm run config:check
from the MagicMirror folder. This gives you the lines of the errors and the errors in the config.
You can then run e.g.
sudo nano -c config/config.js
The -c gives you the line numbers in nano.
Always only check and correct the FIRST error shown.
Then run the config:check again.
The successive errors can easily be errors resulting from the first one.

Now here’s the thing.
The dutch site forwards to the german site if I use german cities. Leading me to the known problems.
The dutch APP (android app) however is able to show current data for a german location, at least close to the border (Moers in this case).
I would need to find a way to scrape the data from the server the dutch site uses. The scraper unfortunately doesn’t find anything for german cities.
There is a gist for the scraper with more explanation
However, until now it seems to be too complex for me to find out how to use it for my needs.
Do you happen to have an idea?
That halleluja was a bit too fast.
For some reason the 2-hour forecast does not work anymore for Germany.
Stuck on some data starting at 14:55 and does not seem able to update anymore (same with the app, by the way).
But this may be too off-topic now.
Thanks for the great hint @pjkoeleman !
I have forked this and with a minor tweak it’s also possible to scrape german weather data.
Now I just need to figure out how to put this in a graph as a MM module.
If anyone can give me a hint for how to draw graphs, I’d highly apreciate it.
Well hello there!
I live in Germany and am building my own mirror.
I know there are quite some weather modules around but I have seen only one with a 2-3 hour rain forecast with to-the-minute data, that is forecast.io. Unfortunately the Darksky API doesn’t support minutely data for Germany.
There are two great apps for Android, “Buienalarm (NL)” / “Drops (DE, discontinued)” and “Regen Vorschau”. Both have a great graph implemented with a 2-hour rain forecast in 5-minute steps.
You can also see the principle here: https://dropsonline.de/location/moers-nordrheinwestfalen-deutschland
For me, this would be one of the most helpful modules around.
As said, forecast.io and the darksky API are very good but don’t help here unfortunately.
Anyone able to help me?
Thanks, Dirk
