@McSorley Did you completely gut the monitor?

I’ve taken the plastic frame off and left everything else, so it’s just all the metal exposed

ultrasonic sensors

I just got my PIR motion sensor and VIOLA it works… sleeps after so many seconds but once it detects movement it comes right back on! I run it through crontab…

if you want a copy of what I’m using for motion sensor I’ll share…I put them in the root and create a crontab to run pir.py and the rest is history… remember to chmod all three files… if you really wanted you could combine all three into one and instead of calling the off and on sh files you could just tell it to run the command from the py file… I will do that soon, just tired out today …work.

I have an Amazon Alexa sitting in my livingroom LOL BUT from what I’ve seen it’s a great option!

Do you have a video of yours working with voice recognition?

Could you share your motion sensor files? I’ve been away for the summer holidays with the family, so looking to get back in to things now that they’re going back to school!

I haven’t bought my acrylic yet.

I’ll be going with the same site that you have used, so I feel better now I have seen what it looks like!

Nice work!

@ronny3050 @d3r - It’s £11 in the UK, bit of a difference to the US price

Is this the same one?

This is the exact one you guys shared - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kinobo-Microphone-Desktop-Recognition-Software/dp/B00IR8R7WQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471042843&sr=8-1&keywords=Kinobo+-+USB+2.0+Mini+Microphone

Or this will allow me to have the mic outside of the frame - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kobwa-Desktop-Studio-Microphone-Keyring/dp/B00LHNP5GS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1471043655&sr=8-5&keywords=USB+2.0+Mini+Microphone

@ronny3050 @d3r - It’s £11 in the UK, bit of a difference to the US price

@ronny3050 That’s incredible!

I thought it was going to be something bigger!

What’s it like for picking up sound from within the frame?

After the release of the voice module(s), I think it’s time to pick up a microphone

Can anyone recommend one?

What should I be looking for, something with an on board sound card?

@strawberry-3-141 , @ronny3050 & @alexyak - What are you guys using?

I’m Mitch from the UK, I’m a BI Consultant who specialises in SQL Server.

I’m building this mirror for my kitchen, and looking to replace the family calendar with it (plus other features like commute times etc). We have 4 kids, so it can be difficult to keep track of all our activities etc!

At some point I’m hoping to make a move and develop a module.

I’ve also just joined my local hackspace which has just formed, and I’ve been showing off the mirror to those guys too!

@ronny3050 @KirAsh4 It’s relevant to the conversation though?

@evos I’ve only just seen this. Awesome work! I’ll check it out!

This means I can free up my Pi3 for something else

@mochman Nice one! Thanks for letting me know!

I’m slow close to building mine now, just getting the actual modules sorted first

I’m fairly happy now, so looking to get my parts ordered

@mochman that is class!

I haven’t checked, so need to confirm whether Alexa will work in the UK as the Echo hasn’t been launched here yet.

Awesome!!

The acrylic looks good too!

Do you have a video of the voice recognition? Would be good to see how it works

@CommanderB has his in his bathroom.

Check out his thread here

Hi Zach,

I saw your project and tried to get Jasper up and running. It was a ballache, so I decided against it.

There is 1 working voice module and another is in development!

Welcome to the forum

@KirAsh4 just checked MMM-PIRsensor thread and I could see that

@KirAsh4 I used to be able to see them, even without my github account being logged in

I think it might be since the outage

@KirAsh4 that isn’t showing for me

I just see white space then the screenshot

@shgmongohh @KirAsh4

It’s not in the post, but found it anyway…

@KirAsh4 Where?
