    @Alannow apologies for the delayed reply, I somehow missed the email notification that there is a new reply in the thread. Here is the graph of the humidity in my bathroom for the past month: [image: 1745501958118-1a718a83-5bb4-4367-9395-e85faf184011-cleanshot-2025-04-24-at-16.37.48@2x-resized.png] the mirror stands strong in such conditions 4th year now … As to the foil … it can be cut in any size and shape, but there are limitations in the shape of the mirror, so please share your idea so I can check if is feasible or not :) The rough estimated shipping to Germany is ~ 25 EUR

    @jerryy622 Hey Jerry, This sounds fantastic! Please share your scripts or a link as to where to find the info! I would love to have this kind of thing running on my TV so i can view it when i switch to the HDMI channel that my Pi would be hooked to! I would love to see some screen shots of what you created also! Joe

    I setup Magic Mirror on a PI4 that is used as a display panel on my desk. I have an mqtt server on the PI that operates various devices on my desk. The PI drives a 7" cheap screen that is on during the day. I use Magic Mirror to display various bits of information I want to monitor. Linkedin count for business, drive free space on cloud servers etc sent to MM via mqtt channel updates. The mqtt server will manage power up/power down of the desk.

    @Future.Mirror we had a good Google Assistant. the author left and took his modules w him Amazon has killed software versions of an Alexa device https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16069/alexa-implementations-now-more-difficult-and-some-features-will-stop-working biggest thing is you cant access skills unless your ‘alexa device’ is certified., which sw only cannot be since then they have frozen the sdk, dropped all support for hardware developers, … there are some other voice interfaces, search the 3rd party list linked above with ‘voice’ but they are very limited in function. hide/show some modules., and voice reco is not particularly good i wouldn’t call them assistants
