@mwel1977 - You should be good with just the emitters exposed. The easy way to test it out is to rig it up to your Pi and prototype your frame cutouts with a piece of thin cardboard. Start by connecting everything and making sure you get signal and the module works. Block everything with the cardboard and verify that you have blocked the signal. Then cut out holes for the tubes and try again. If it works, use the cardboard as the template for your cutouts in your frame. If it doesn’t cut out a hole for the silver thing and try that way.

@pnizet Still quite pricey for my taste but I’d love to see a infor-board project based on it. So go ahead and don’t forget to present it here :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: Btw, it’s not my topic. @Gooral was the one starting this thread. :slightly_smiling_face:

Dear @j-e-f-f , thank you for your recommendation. I was figuring out how to put everything in stand by mode so my screen would be active when I am sleeping ( have it hanging in my sleepingroom). Dear @radokristof , thank you very much for your reply. I did not figured out then :D I will try your solution whith powering off the HDMI port. Anyway guys, thank you for your interesting replies. Kind regards :)

@mwel1977 No one spoils my dinner, ever! ;-) Glad you’re sorting out your microphone questions. :thumbsup:

From a small bit of research it seems that dielectric glass IS the top solution for a smart mirror, but just to complete the picture, it seems much more expensive than usual spy glass. Does anyone have any experience?

Comunque per chi fosse interessato a vedere il risultato con la pellicola può vedere il topic che ho aperto My MIRROR 2.0 Project (ITALY)

Hello, I want to install a mirror in my bathroom. But I’m afraid of moisture. Can you advise me please?

@ejach2000 - The tradeoff decisions in making a magic mirror are basically as follows: You can get a cheaper mirror surface by going with two-way acrylic. I used TAP Plastics and it worked okay. The two way glass produced better results, but you will have to decide if the difference is worth the extra cost. The other option is to purchase a two way mirror film and attach it to a piece of glass. This way takes patience and practice, but it is a decent way to save money. Don’t try to combine two pieces of glass into one mirror. The seam between the pieces will be very visible and will annoy you. You do not need a specific monitor. There are features that make the process easier for you during construction. Most importantly, IMHO, is that the power and HDMI connectors point down and not directly away from the screen. Secondly is the ability to accept an HDMI connection (lack of HDMI can be overcome with adapters). HTH.

@paulb I really like the way this guy mounted the camera on top of the mirror: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6952/my-mirror-so-great

I dont know if it the correct place to post this but i cannot post anything in the forum. I have a problem with my confirmation email. I haven’t received it. I resend it a couple of times i even changed my email to another one but still havent received anything.

@bhepler That is one big mirror! :) I got a real glass one also…I had my local glass shop order it for me… It’s in my bathroom and I love it.

Oh that’s a great idea to use a battery for that! Thanks!

@fulmik Is there an option on the monitor menu to reset factory defaults? Worth a try? Maybe.

@dcarls91 It’s been a while since I played with this, but if I recall correctly, I had to use a Heroku app as a relay between the Alexa skill and the mirror. Then I had a module on the mirror subscribe to the notifications that the Heroku app was putting out and react accordingly on the display.

@j-e-f-f That is true…In my case I need more than the pi could handle.

@citizendevpi if you have tinycam app you can broadcast your wyze to an website and than you can use iframe mmm to show the camera. but it would mean having tinycam running the whole time for it to work.

@martinbaker2727 - Yes, you can. My suggestion would be to follow these steps: Turn off your target PC. Shut down, power off, the works. Unplug the least important device with a SATA connection at the motherboard. Start with the DVD drive, if available. If the only thing available are hard drives, pick one that is used for video backup or game storage. You do not want to unplug the drive that contains the operating system. Plug your hard disk into the freed up slot. Boot the target computer. It should recognize the presence of a new drive and automatically mount it. Transfer your data. Shut down your computer. Power off, the works. Unplug your hard disk and reconnect the device that you removed in step #2.

I’ve searched a lot for kind of (ease of use) configuration to the mirror but almost found nothing, the best what you can have till now! is MMM-RemoteControl where you can show/hide modules and restart/turn off the mirror, other than that some modules provides controlling it over telegram but still rather limited would be very nice to add such option or app to configure the mirror for the very noobs without having code knowledge as am also making my mirror as a gift.

@cjmaverick You can easily use the server just using any browser on any tablet or pc and going to YOURMIRRORIP:8080. But please be aware that you need to include the device to the IP whitelist in the config.
