The Magic Mirror has a sonar sensor that detects when kids are are close enough. Then the Magic Mirror says a random phrase before automatically dropping candy to the bucket. The fog and red lights are activated as well.

Also you can text “say [your name]” to a SMS short code and the Magic Mirror will say your name, drop some candy and take a Dropcam snapshot and send it back to your mobile phone
