@strawberry-3.141 you are right, I also struggled to find a accurate “offline” sst solution. Like mentioned in the article I don’t intend to use a “public cloud” solution for STT - due to this I train currently a context aware, tensorflow based “private cloud” STT solution. But it turned out that this is really time consuming… until this is complete I use googles STT API.

This project is for me just a research project to get a better understanding of AI and cloud services and how to deal with the challenges. The intention to post it here was to support Chris with a impression of the used glass

@Cato

There is not much more. It’s just a “Film Coated Plywood” (siebdruckplatte) with two U-profiles (better would be a J-Profile, but i was not able to find a fitting one)
The Monitor is on one side fixed by the mirror glass and on the backside withave a wooden bar what is also the hock to adopt it on the wall…

If everything is final setup I will put into the plate to mount the cam behind the glass.

Like mentioned by lolobyte this is not based on node.js. I started in node.js but swiched than to my primary development plattform java(fx). I belive it would be easy for a skilled node.js developer to migrate it to node.js due to it is primary just connecting cloud API’s.

You can find some more information see and the high level architecture in this LinkedIn Article

Hi together,

my mirror project makes process. Below you can find the result as well of some snapshots of the building process. Looking forward to your feedback

Mirror on YouTube

@Binog sure, once when it is finished. Currently there are some “workarounds” like hard coded login to mercedes connect.me for controlling the auxheat what prevent me from sharing…

No it is a own development! The objective of the project was to get in touch with advanced AI and IoT.
I struggled to get this working with Node.js and python. So I failed back to Java with a Javafx frontend.

Hi together,

long weekend - perfect to finish the mirror hardware.
Please find attached some pictures of the assembly + first impressions of the running mirror.
(due to i still struggling to bring my java software to the raspberry, there are some cables to the laptop who will disappear in the final setup).

Overall I´m satisfied, I believe I need to play a little bit with the light conditions and install a spot on top of the mirror to compensate the light absorbation of the mirror.

Might it be possible to craft a glass working like a “silver reflected sun-glass”?

HI together,

I got today the mirror through the brilliant delivery queue of lolobyte- many thanks again to you also to Chris.
I’m just wondering if it is normal that the mirror is more a “colored glas”, both sides seams mostly the same and the reflection is quite dimmed. It looks a little bit like looking with sunglasses in a regular mirror… any hints?

@Goldjunge_Chriz
Hi Chris, wow, many thanks for all your hard work!!!

@lolobyte

to be honest I don´t feel comfortable to take the responsibility for the mirrors of other people.
I just take your service, due to I´m absolute aware that something can happen and i have to take this risk.
