That’s nice and all but too complicated for people to setup…
Adding a sudo somewhere is one thing but that would make installing the module so complicated :confused:
Seems like it might be possible by using usermod -a -G gpio pi will check and report.

I am currently writing a module which uses the GPIO Pins for that the script has to be started as root. I tried running MM with DISPLAY=:0 sudo npm startbut all I get this way is a No protocol specifiederror on startup. Any idea how to fix this or how to use wiring-pi without root? Wasn’t there an Raspbian update recently that allowed GPIO access without root? I don’t remember it exactly…

@00conman since @MichMich is on this forum, he will see :)

To update electron enter your MagicMirror folder any execute npm install :)

I will soon port my code to the new module system :)

I have an implementation for a PIR-Sensor. For the camera you could probably use openCV :)

@derekhuffman it’s fine to post it here :) You could do this to ways.
Have a module that’s checking a GPIO Pin with a sound sensor, the module could then trigger a relay or turn on the HDMI output. That would work if the monitor does not need to be turned off completely (I would turn it off to save energy). With this approach you would have the information that’s it is turned on available in the MagicMirror system if you don’t need that (you probably don’t), you could also go for a hardware only solution, Google “activate relay if sound is detected” for that.

The best method would be to just use a PIR-Sensor or is their any reason you want sound detection?

No it would not since the css also hides the cursor I think :/

I just started working on a little promotion video for the MagicMirror system. Please don’t expect it to be finished any time soon, it’s just a side project :sweat_smile:

Here you can see my shell reconstruction showing the simple installation process (it’s animated of course):

It would be amazing if you could contribute on what should be in the video and how it should present the system. I would also be grateful about some other videos that present software projects in a modern and beautiful way, if you happen to find any on the web :slight_smile:

In case there are any Germany here, any idea where to get an Imprint that’s a bit more forum related?
The one I have now is not really suited for a forum…

Nice! Thank you, might come in handy for other projects :slight_smile:

How is the 7" high res display you are using called?

Not much to thank me for it’s all @MichMich!
I really like the size of your mirror and the LED’s in the background are interesting, can you change the colors remotely with the Pi or are you using a inferred remote?

MMM-Facial-Recognition will teach your mirror to recognize your face when you are using it.

With MMM-Wunderlist you can add one or more widgets to your mirror displaying as many different todo-lists from Wunderlist as you like. Of course you are not limited to one list per widget, since the module can combine them for you.

Could you add it to a separate repository so it is easier for others to install? Have a look here for some examples, would be great if you would add it to the showcase after that!
Also note you do not have to add a module to the default folder for it to be loaded!

Would you like to share your module?
