mirror

Smart mirror Electron app written with React/Redux to be run on Raspberry Pi.

Development

Create a config.js in the root directory by copying over the contents of config.template.js and updating the file with your own API keys and data.

For speech recognition, install sox.

brew install sox

For development, run

yarn run dev

Widgets

Each service is contained in its own widget. These can be found in the js/widgets/ directory.

APIs

Forecast.io API

Register for a forecast.io API key here. The calls to the forecast.io API are cached every 15 min to prevent $$$... also do you really think the weather is going to change much over 15 minutes?

MTA API

Register for an MTA API key here. Individual stop ids can be found via the New York City Transit Subway GTFS schedule data zip file that can be found here.

Google Calendar API

In order to get the correct auth credentials, follow the Google Calendar API Quickstart tutorial. Save the resulting client_secret.json (googleCalSecretPath) and calendar-nodejs-quickstart.json (googleCalTokenPath) files to the app directory and specify their paths in config.js in order to use the Google Calendar integration.
