Weather is not looking ... how can i connect weather?

Hi Evan, i was really inspired by your project and rewrote one using ReactJS, if you don't mind me sharing the link here so that ReactJS folks can take a look at how it can be done.
React-mirror

I have followed the tutorial several times. It fails at the npm installs step with or without sudo.

Running RPI 2 B Jessie.

it fails at the electron-prebuilt install

With a fresh checkout running under electron (npm start), annyang is not longer working. I am using a USB logitech webcam microphone for the input.

If I run the exact same set of files under chromium, the microphone and speech recognition work fine. Was there any configuration necessary under electron, alsa or asound to get electron to work?

Can you tell me why my weather stays with a circle? I have API Key but still... I am using my site for tests demo: http://visionplayz.com/test2/

When I edit the files as suggested in issue #20 I lose audio from the 3.5mm jack. I have try all combinations of editing both files but I can't get them to work at the same time. Forcing it through raspi-config does not help either. Iv also tried mixer set numid=3 1 in Terminal. But both won't work at the same time.

I'm getting the following error after performing the following cmds.

CD /*/smart-mirror
Npm install

Bash: npm: command not found

I'm currently using MIdori for my smart mirror, seems like this only works with Chrome? Is that correct? If so which version of chromium were you able to get working?

The time shown on the main page is always a couple of minutes behind the actual time for me. Using the voice command to get the time gives the correct time in the debug window however, so it looks as it is not updating correctly.

Add additional logic to check to see if the current device has microphone and file system permissions on the cordova branch

This does not seem to work.

Is this a function that has actually been completed as yet? or something that is still in the works?

// Search images
AnnyangService.addCommand('Show me *term', function(term) {
console.debug("Showing", term);
});

I also can't see anything that relates to the functions of adding reminders.

Brilliant work thus far

Maybe it will be great to see current traffic before go to work or somewhere, like "Show traffic to work" :)

I've got a SR04 ultrasonic sensor.. I could try the code if someone does it....

The idea would be, have the screen off except if it senses someone in front?

"npm start" is not working.

My question might appear quite awkward but its because i dont anything about web development.

Thus i want to know, how can i use/run this project on my chrome browser(laptop) in windows without using raspberry.

Why dont you guys make a webpage/webapp like this http://vann.io/graveyard/smrt/# , it would get quite easy for newbies like me.

Would be a great addition to the mirror.

Help about the API here:

http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation.html

Is it possible to add Mi-light as a cheap replacement of Philips Hue?

Do you install the browser or the OS?

Is it possible to enhance the UI to resemble the one depicted here: https://medium.com/@maxbraun/my-bathroom-mirror-is-smarter-than-yours-94b21c6671ba#.ikiwookp3

Also how hard is it to add those icons for weather? (The cloud, Sun covered by the cloud, etc).. I just love the font and overall UI of the mirror linked above.

I havent been able to get it working with epiphany-browser which comes stock with raspbian-jessie.

When I try to use this demo link: https://evancohen.github.io/smart-mirror/ I dont get anything.

I figured thats a good sanity check. I have installed nodejs and npm and followed the github install instructions and after npm start I get this error:

I have 5 lights, they all work on my smart phone, all hooked up to my box and on the same wifi

I have my key right var HUE_BASE = "http://192.168.1.9/api/2f8160674b5f1df27856ce18360f51f0/";

But when I say "lights off" nothing happens..

Would be cool to have 2 or more users share the mirror but display different data from different calendars.... Any idea how to implement it?

I think i will implement:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/gtfs-realtime-bindings

or does anyone already did it?

Would be nice to add under the calendar. Your latest 4-5 mails showing up.

It would be good if the calendar list refreshed itself against the source every so often....

Saving a lot of electricity!

I've problem at npm install step. What should i do?

Hello Evan,

is it possible to give us a default config.js to show the weather?

Best regards

Hi Evan, which sound card did you use with Raspberry Pi for it to pick up sound and listen to you? Thanks!

I'm trying to get into contact with Evan. [email protected]

Please contact me. I think you'll be interested.

It might be good (or necessary!) to limit the number of lines to be used by the calendar to just show the current day... or (as Evan suggested on a chat) a few days max...

Could be Spotify, Apple music etc,

"Play the top ten list"
"Play this song"

Etc. It could be great.

Wouldn't it be nice that instead of showing a single comment all the time, mirror may show different comments and greet us based on the detected face.

Can you suggest me any method to so.

Moreover i would also like to "HOW TO USE PUSHBULLET API". Basically being a newbie i don't know how and where to add these api code.

please can you tell me about this in detail.

THANKS!!!

Shortcut for having full internationalization support for weather units is just to add units=auto GET parameter to forecast.io API call in weather-service.js. It then selects the relevant units automatically, based on geographic location.

Hey there,

wondering if you could update/provide assistance on setting the units of the weather widget to go along with the geolocation that it is pulling?

I am in Aus and fahrenheit makes no sense to me lol

There needs to be a way to better input configuration info into the mirror. Hosting a local Node server with an HTML page that would let you control temp units, time format, service keys, updates, etc. would be a great way to solve that problem.

"Turn on the lights in the living room"
"...bedroom"

Etc.

This functionality doesn't exist yet?

I get an error when trying to run the npm start command. I've tried looking at other issues, but I still can't figure it out. From what I can tell, the electron-prebuilt install runs fine, but actually starting the mirror gives an error. It gives an error with and without sudo.

sudo npm install electron-prebuilt

Hey Evan,

just an idea... maybe it's possible to include Spotify (which is OpenSource!?) via VoiceRecognation...

Hi, i can't get the weather work... I got the working api, paste in config file , but the weather does not show..
I should paste it only in config.js?
var FORCAST_API_KEY = "{https://api.forecast.io/forecast/apikey/47,29}"; Like that?

I'm having issues trying to start the smart mirror. Logs below if anyone can suggest any help?

How can I use the voice Activiation on a normal browser for development purposes?

I'm really new to github, but my impression is that the overarching approach here is code and idea sharing. I don't have a clue as to how I might suggest some things to you - and even though I had no exposure to angular.js yesterday, I've added some functionality that might have some value. I suspect it wouldn't have taken you long, but - eh, what do I know?

Also, your instructions appear to be written from the point of view of somebody who has some experience in Raspberry Pi's UNIX distro - I rewrote them for myself, but they are in a state such that I'd guess 95% of all RPi users could replicate the resultant functionality relatively quickly. Might that be of help? I know the community has an approach of "learn how to do it and we'll support you through Q&A" but sometimes one just want some quick results, without having to wade through esoterica of SSH, CSS, and the like.

Are you game for that? If not, I understand.

Thanks,

Lee

How about syncing your smartphone notifications and displaying it on the mirror? I think that would make the mirror really "smart".
I am kinda beginner, and don't know how to push these notifications to the httpserver , so it would be nice if you are integrating it(if u like the idea).

Could this be implemented? I've tried to get this to work, but I failed.

I see a lot of questions passing where people ask: hey, how do I display my data like this or like that. (eg the weather format being in centigrade or kelvin)

Wouldn't it be a great possibility if we put the configuration of that stuff in the config.js? That way it will become the only file people who want to use the software will have to look at. (unless they want to hack it, in which case they should be encouraged to also use the same approach)

I did a quick try by trying to standardize the way the dates (and the time) are formatted.for my calendar integration, but didn't get it to work yet. Might be looking further into this in the near future.

Have the mirror somehow either ask in what language you'd like it to be or just figure it out automatically via the coordinates.

Hey evan, So I got npm installed on my pi, but when I ran the "npm start" I get a whole slew of errors the first of which reads "sh: 1: electron: not found"

The rest of the error prompt is as follows:
npm ERR! [email protected] start: 'electron main,js'
npm ERR! Exit status 127

I know it is a bit overkill to put the whole error prompt but i don't see why it would hurt. Anything helps. Thanks in advance

I want to say: Jenkins, turn off the lights.

Just out of curiosity, how did you go about hooking up the system to your house lights/changing colors? Would love to do something similar.
