@sean Ah. I meant I have no idea what my “node” is. :)
Anyway, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Thanks for putting the time in to try it, I really appreciate it!

@sean Hey Sean, Sorry man, I have no idea what that means when you say my node “version is too low”…

@sean
npm start dev gives me the following:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

@sean Hey Sean, I’m so sorry for the delay in replying to this, I really appreciate the effort in making it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me, it just stops my magic mirror from loading up properly. It just shows my mouse pointer and the screen remains black. As I said before, I’m not a programmer myself, so can’t offer much in the way of debugging, but I have installed several modules before without any problems, so I’m pretty sure it’s nothing basic. Again, sincere apologies for the late reply, life got in the way this week!

Thanks again,
Sean

That’s great guys!

@maxbachmann I actually don’t have Alexa, I’ve only got a Google Home device, so that’s why I was hoping for a Google Shopping List module rather than anything with Alexa. Thanks though!

@Sean This is awesome! I’ll try to give this a go tonight when I get home. Thanks a million!

Hey all,

So I made my magic mirror some time ago, and am really happy with it. I recently got a Google Home and am thinking of using the Shopping List functionality on the mirror. As in, I tell the Google Home device to add stuff to my shopping list, and it then gets displayed on my mirror. I’ve done a search on the forums here for Assistant related stuff, but it seems more a case of modules for adding the Assistant to the mirror itself, rather than just displaying info from a list I’ve generated from the Google Home device. I don’t have a mic on the mirror and am not interested in confusing the mirror and Home devices as they sit close to each other.

Afraid I’m not a programmer, which is why I’m struggling here. There seems to be some Todoist (never used it before) modules, as well as Wunderlist (also never used before), but I was hoping to go with the Google home shopping list. If it turns out this is wishful thinking, or more hassle than trying out these other shopping list options, I’ll certainly give them a go. Just need advice.

Have previously tried a Trello module but it barely ever updated and was really, really slow, so eventually I just dropped it.

Open to suggestions and would really appreciate the help!

Cheers!
Seán

It was somewhere here on this forum. Just did a search for trello. Can look onto it again when I’m home tonight if you need it? The mirror company was Clonmell Glass in Tipperary. Just ask for 6mm spy mirror.

@chef Thanks for that! Sounds great! I had actually bought an IR sensor, but it didn’t come with the wiring necessary to hook it up to the pi. I was eager to get it up and running so just went ahead without it. Besides, I know nothing about electronics so was kinda hoping to find simpler tutorials on how to do it than I had done to date. Still, happy with how it turned out, I can always upgrade it later.

Thanks man!

So I finally made my first mirror. Been lurking on this forum for a couple of weeks, and it’s helped enormously. Anyway, I got an old tv from my girlfriend and built a frame from some lovely walnut wood I had intended to use for something else. I knew very little about raspberry pis, but had one lying around and thought why not go all out and try to finish it. Glad I did!
The glass is 6mm thick 2 way glass at 24" x 14" from a company in Tipperary, which they shipped to Dublin for me.
I got the code from all of the great modules on here, such as my local bus time table, my calendar, a trello todo list board (so my girlfriend and I can both update it from our phones if needs be), and some RSS feeds and the usual weather forecasting stuff. We both love it! Think it’s going to prove very useful.

Still don’t have the IR sensor installed, would love for this to be something I could turn off or on more easily than my current setup (like a proximity sensor or something) , but ya gotta start somewhere!
Anyway, hope you like it!
