Bathroom mirror: "Frameless, thin, gesture and voice controlled"

@Robert_K Very nicely done. Clean and looks great.

@Robert_K
Really nice build !!!
Working on more or less the same mirror concept, but I won’t be able to get it on 3,6 cm, will be somewhere 4,8. -
Good job ;)

@Robert_K Hi how did you waterproof it as you must get a lot of steam in that room with no window, nice mirror though.
-
awesome.

I used Plastidip. This is a rubberish spray which gave a nice seal/coating on all electric circuit boards. I left de RPI open but all others got sprayed with PlastiDip.
The ventilation is right above the shower, so the mirror doesn’t get that damp actually. It’s nog fogging up like a normal mirror due to two things. Glass is colder than acrilic, and the LCD screen gives a bit of warmt.
Regards Robert

@Robert_K great work! Cool Design.
2 questions left.
What are the 3 (same) “devices” below the RPI?You forget to mention the light-stripe. Its a regular RGB? how do you control it? Extra device?
Hint from myself: I used the rest of APA102-5V-Stripes and installed Hyperion in parallel. No extra device needed and animations too. The animations work via Hyperion-App, homebridge and/ or automatisation via ioBroker.Very modern (Guest?-) Bathroom too!

Thank you for the compliment.
The 3 “devices” are DC-DC converters. They are adjustable. The screen powerbord suplies 19V DC.
The Pi uses 5V, the LED’s uses 5V (but works better on 4V) and the audio bord uses 9V, however I didn’t use them. Both have a great power output (enought amps)The LED’s are WS2801 programable (waterproof) LED’s for which I wrote two python scipts.
The Gesture module activates these python scripts.Regards Robert

Hi Robert, that is a really cool mirror. What glass did you use? It looks very sharp and useful as a bathroom mirror ;-).

If I recall correctly, I used this type of mirror:
