  • mmm-awesome-alexa with synchronized LEDs?

    Hi guys!
    Any idea how this guy got his LEDs to light up differently when talking to Alexa?

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aa3VVZA0e5Y

    I’m also looking to find out the differences between the Alexa modules, it seems awesome Alexa is the best?

    Thanks

  • RE: 3 different Alexa modules, which one is the best?

    @The_Mingler Nice! Alright that sounds pretty sweet though.

    Anyone successfully controlled some Belkin WeMo stuff from Alexa? I feel like it wont be too hard to get this part figured out, since WeMo claims its supported anyways, I just dont know if there is extra configuration running from an RPI vs a normal echo/dot

    @The_Mingler Great this is exactly what I was hoping to hear, thanks! Have you ever pulled up a Youtube video through an Alexa command and does that work as expected? That sounds like one of the coolest things to me

  • RE: 3 different Alexa modules, which one is the best?

    @lucallmon ah bummer I hope I can get it to work with all the features it says it has

    To me this Alexa module is the only reason Im interested in Magic Mirror, a mirror that shows a clock and weather info is kind of neat but doesnt justify its cost at all to me, however being able to turn my Belkin Wemo lights on/off with Alexa commands, being able to do quick google searches, get answers to short fact based questions by voice, pull up a youtube video with a voice command, thats where the magic mirror makes sense to me, those are the features im looking for

    If anyone reading this is using alexa as i described i would like to hear your experience with it and if it is working as you expected!

  • Any advice for/against MM on ODROID-C2?

    I plan to use an ODROID-C2 instead of Raspberry Pi 3 for hopefully faster Alexa commands, youtube playing etc.

    I am a bit worried about compatibility, specifically because I am going to use PIR sensor and a DHT22 temp/humidity sensor.

    Has anyone else used the ODROID-C2 for your mirror? Anyone heard of any problems with them?

    Thanks

  • RE: Another Kickstarter is trying to launch Magic Mirror

    @alexyak Anyone else notice they are using ODROID-C2

    http://www.vesalia.de/e_odroidc2.htm?slc=us&gclid=CP6ai-aHmNMCFdK6wAodZ0QKVw

  • RE: Problem with my pir sensor

    @Fonfon I don’t have a PIR sensor for my Magic Mirror yet, but I was just reading yesterday about problems with the PIR and Raspberry Pi 3

    Apparently, the PIR gets interference from the Wireless chip on the Raspberry Pi 3 and it causes it to give bad readings, even the Adafruit site has a note about it:

    https://www.adafruit.com/product/189

    “PIR sensors and the Raspberry Pi 3 sometimes don’t get along - if you’re having false trigger reports, make sure the PIR Sensor is far away from the Pi 3”

    Here is another possible solution - this guy used some kind of interference blocker on the wire, check it out:
