@termeric said in Finsihed my first mirror: I added a back to the mirror and drilled some holes for ventilation, but i may either take it off or drill a few more since i’m getting the temperature indicator on the screen. Nice job. Looks great! IMHO, no need for a back at all. You can also drill ventilation holes in the the sides and the top and bottom. You will see a significant improvement in temp. And don’t rule out heatsinks or a fan. Both are inexpensive and you’ll never worry about heat again. When you see results like this you’ll sleep better. :-) [image: 1512958036071-1.png]

HI, Thanks to this forum for all the information here, It took me a while to understand everything. I am running it on a Pi 3 and I custom made the frame. The frame has LED’s with an independent switch, eventually I will change how the lights turn on and off. Again thank you all on this forum.!

@csenecal said in Magic Mirror wont start: im very confused So am I. Did you follow the tutorial for the installation? Post your terminal output here so we can see what it reports when you try to launch MM

@nissin I couldn’t get any motion sensor app to work properly so I have two plugs coming out of the mirror. One powers the pi which is always on and the other goes into a motion sensing plug that turns the monitor on when someone is in the room. No other added Electricals although I will probably put a philips hue light strip around the inside of the frame. Calendar module is just the standard one and the weather is the weather underground module which I really like.

@greda Nice job. I love the use of the recovered furniture. Great idea! C’est manifique!

Good job! I bought a custom glass mirror from a local shop in Rennes (France). It’s very good looking but also very expensive (95€ for about the same size as yours).

@Mykle1 Yes, that’s weird. As far as I can recall I didn’t do anything different when I uploaded the first load of pictures for the main post. I took them on my iphone (which has not changed all year) and uploaded them via dropbox to my home laptop, and copied them into the post from there, however comparing the dimensions of them on my hard disk, maybe dropbox resized the original ones for me… I don’t remember changing any settings… @saurabh76 You’re welcome! Thanks for your interest!

Interesting on the ACD cmd line option. Let me know if you come up with something as that would be awesome. Had been thinking of Flickr due to the options it has, but haven’t seen a good way to easily create a module which can access hundreds or thousands of Flickr photos randomly.

Sweet! Another Canadian! Lucky your glass supplier had that! Mine seems a lot darker!!

@cowboysdude I’m running out of compliments bro. :-)

@Zach Hey Zach, I’m excited to get your project up and running, but could you update it with the latest install process for Raspbian as the options available on the page you link to have changed dramatically: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Jessie appears no longer available.

What Alexa module did you use? I’m still failing with setting up voice recognition for my own mirror

@Johans yah, when she said I dont want a rectangle mirror I was like oh crap… Ended up being quite a bit more work than intended. I think just making the jig to cut an oval took longer than making the frame itself… :P

@phrazelle That frame is exquisite! The search is on!

Step 1, choosing components. After a bit of research I have decided on using Raspberry pi 3 to power my clock, and a 10" touchscreen from Adafruit, the wifi capabilities are a must have for this project.

every time i come back to this thread…i can’t help drooling over that frame…man that would be sweet to have!

Where did you get the weather icons by the way? I’d love to have those LOL To put in my weather module :)
