    • RE: [MMM-AlexaOnOff] Simple Mirror Control from External Home Assistant (Alexa/Google Home/HASS.io)

      I am running MM version 2.7.1 with the latest MMM-AlexaOnOff module. Below is my config.js details for this module. I get no errors when restarting MM and had no problem with Alexa discovering the devices listed in the module. I get confirmation feedback from Alexa when saying “Turn Magic Mirror Off”, but nothing happens. This used to work on an older build of MM but I wanted to start from scratch with the latest version and this has been the only Mod not working correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

                      {
                              module: 'MMM-AlexaOnOff',

    • RE: My Custom Smart Mirror.

      @hannes23 So long as the light in front of the mirror is brighter than the monitor behind the mirror it won’t bleed through. I am using an old LCD screen I had lying around but an OLED would produce the best results as the black on those is truly black. I only get bleed through when I turn the light off in my room. If the light is on, all looks good.

      I use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow. Here is list of my modules:

      Update: MMM-BackgroundSlideshow stopped working for me so I switched to MMM-EasyBack.

      No, that was my Echo Dot. The PIR is somewhat visible in the second picture. There is a small ribbon cable going from the Pi to the PIR. It’s on the right side so anytime I want it on I just wave my hand on right of the mirror. It’s incredibly sensitive so I never have a problem waking it up.

      I am in process of adding a PS3 Eye cam and using MMM-Hotword and MMM-AssistantMk2. Might even go as far as training facial recognition.

      @electros
      The app is only a wrapper pointing to my mirror at http://192.168.1.222:8080/remote.html. This is only able to be done as I have statically assigned my mirror as the .222 address. I could run a port forward on my firewall and allow it to work from outside the house but I haven’t got a need to since I wouldn’t be standing in view of the mirror and it’s a security vulnerability. Let me know if you have further questions.

    • RE: My Custom Smart Mirror.

      OK, UPDATE: I have continued to program on the Magic Mirror and although it doesn’t look like it, the last few weeks of programming have paid off. I have added Module Schedules and Timers. At night (from 6pm till 4am) it will display Moon Phases. I also added a network scanner that tells me when my kids Xbox or Tablets are online. I caught them once playing in the middle of the night LoL.

      I have also built an Android app that lets me control the mirror using the MMM-Remote-Control. I can turn Modules on and off, turn the mirror on and off, update the modules and reboot the whole system. Pretty handy when I am showing it off.

      Lastly, to get in the Halloween Spirit I added some scary backgrounds that fade in and out at random. True story, I got good and drunk the night I decided to add these wallpapers. During the middle of the night I get up to go to the bathroom and Scared The Hell out of Myself when I walked past my mirror and saw the Nun!

    • My Custom Smart Mirror.

      Same as everyone here, I have took on the awesome project of building my own Smart/Magic Mirror. I’ll spare the details unless someone inquires but I did build my own frame. I utilized an old 20" monitor I had and put it at the top of my 20"x48" mirror. Using a Pi3 to run the server I have attached a PIR Sensor to trigger it on and off. I am really only using the default modules along with the Remote Module. Truly the best part was me putting in the Background Module and scaring family and friends with it!

      OK, UPDATE: I have continued to program on the Magic Mirror and although it doesn’t look like it, the last few weeks of programming have paid off. I have added Module Schedules and Timers. At night (from 6pm till 4am) it will display Moon Phases. I also added a network scanner that tells me when my kids Xbox or Tablets are online.

      YET ANOTHER UPDATE: I have gone through and added a few more modules to include MMM_AssistantMK2, MMM_AlexaOnOff and MMM-Screencast. Having the embedded Google assistant in the mirror helps get additional information when I see something about weather or my calendar. Having AlexaOnOff helps when I want to vocally turn the mirror on/off or even reboot or update. I use the screen cast occasionally to play fitness videos while correcting my form. I even added a much larger list of compliments including ones specific to weather that everyone tends to enjoy.

      Lastly, I added the WatchDog module which has really helped stabilize the mirror. I recommend anyone running this on a Pi to have this module.

    • RE: MMM-AssistantMk2

      So I have been working on my mirror for a few weeks now and so far the MMM-AssistantMk2 module is the only thing I cant seem to get working. As mentioned in a number of previous post, when I apply the default module setup in the config.js and restart, I get an all black screen and nothing is responsive. I can SSH into the config.js and comment out the 5 lines for that module, reboot and all is good again. I have removed and rebuild the module with no errors and no new results.

      Has anyone found the cause behind this and how to resolve? I do have Hotword and NotificationTrigger modules running with no problem. Let me know if I need to drop an image file or some log files for further help. I’m truly stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
