Introduction

Smart Mirror

A voice controlled life automation hub, most commonly powered by the Raspberry Pi.

Introduction

This is the official documentation for the smart-mirror, a voice controlled interface that controls your smart devices and displays information from a growing number of services. The smart mirror is powered by:

• The Raspberry Pi 3 or 4

• A webcam (PlayStation Eye)

• Observation mirror (aka mirror pane)

• Computer monitor

The smart-mirror was originally inspired by HomeMirror and Michael Teeuw's Magic Mirror. It was originally created in a weekend and is now maintained by a growing community of contributors and enthusiasts.

Video Demo: See it in action

> Note: The current video demonstrations do not display the mirror in its current state. Such as keyword spotting and remote configuration.
