Hi! I have been following these projects for quite a while and decided it was finally time to create one of these smart mirrors. I have created a custom module for my Emby Media Server (I am a plugin developer over at emby.media) My mirror now connects to Emby and tells me about ‘nextup’ tv episodes and new movies available in my library to watch… cool! I’m going to install my custom Alexa skills as well so it will control my smart home just like the echos around the house. Tapping into Embys DLNA server, the mirror will start playback of media on all the devices around just like the echos do. I’m also going to add motion detection to the mirror to get it to come alive when someone is in front of it. I’m interested in the IpCam modules because I have also created a custom Alexa skill/Server which allows Alexa to describe people in Security Camera footage, by way of Microsoft Cognitive Sense API. When I ask Alexa who is at the door, it returns a string description of the person/people in the footage {Approx Age}/{Gender}/{Accessories}. I would also like to have the mirror show footage during this time as well. Here are some pics so far!

the whole mirror is black coated so it has been painted black just the monitor cutout has been left free

for the first time i will controll the USB ports over a script(power on/off). For the next step i will use this one : Deutsches Forum

I wanted to add this in case anyone was going to make their own wood frame. It’s called a Kreg pocket tool, you can get it at Lowes for $40 it makes your joints and 45’s incredibly strong no nail holes to fill, no marks on your facing wood!!

@maestro82 Well done!

@schlachtkreuzer6 I’m really interested in your result, as I bought my large skywriter hat half a year ago and never unpackaged it lol

@lavolp3 Thank you very much :) It it mounted on the wall via a wall mount which is connected to the screen. The whole frame is connected to the screen through a frame made of wood. The DHT-22 as well as the PIR Sensor are located on the right, right behind the frame. I did not find a good solution on how to “hide” the PIR Sensor, so I though I should hide it a little bit.

Dear @jchan, the mirror is attached through 4 screws which I drilled through the glas. (make sure that you tape before drilling otherwise the glas will break). The wood is just plain wood from the local shop.

Since my original post, I’ve been tinkering a bit. I originally had the 2-way mirror on, but decided to remove it. Mainly because my wife said it looks like a medicine cabinet, which doesn’t belong in the kitchen. I took the mirror off and use it as a magic dashboard now. It has grown on her… :) Here is my current setup at the moment. [image: 1517163209269-mm-1-28-18-s.jpg] [image: 1517162961513-mm-1-28-18-v2.gif]

@schwoediauer Hi! Thank you for your hint. We use a differente alarmsoftware, so I have to look for the options. With RSS it’s a pretty good idea.

Hi there, I’ve made this more than one year ago, but never showed it up over here. I’ve built my own software from scratch, it runs on a android smartphone instead a raspberry (I’m not a big fan of webapps). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szA4f81qcmw (dunno how to insert a video on this forum) Cheers!

@Chris Thanks for the detailed info!

Hi, can you explain a noob a little bit more in detail how to implement the Dakboard calandar into the MM? I really like your setup, Regards, Chris

@doubleT thank you. UPS, I will have to shop around for something small and strong enough

Nice, that looks really good! Hidden cables are the best! ;) Love the floorplan, I’m working on something like that, too.
