I like it! That’s some serious cable-cramming you did there :D

@johnnyboy said in 27" Magic Mirror with Philips Hue integration:

Yeah, very nice… Good lay out of framing that allows plenty ventilation too ;-)

@johnnyboy I like the frame, but I don´t think it has enough ventilation. I´m thinking about adding a fan or something. The monitor shows a temperatur warning sign, you can see it in many of the photos in the top right corner.

and it’s pretty configurable. I can set it up to change colors or dim-levels based on time of day, or sunset / sunrise or outdoor temperature.

Can I ask how this is done? if it is done through MM can you please post the files and entries you made as I like that lights and the idea of it being set up to be configurable like that.

Thanks

The light is not controlled from the mirror. I have two Philips Hue hubs that controls all my lights, including this one.

Thanks

Very nice result !
I’ve more or less configured my MM. I need a mirror and perhaps ill try the shop you mentioned ;-)

@hesspoint I think light is reflecting off the shiny inside surface of the frame.

Hey @Messel

I have used your built as inspiration, and it is basically done. However there is one problem that is plaguing me and I don’t know how to solve it and that is light bleeding in the corners.

I saw in your pictures that you partly have the same issues however it seems not as bad as for me. Did you do anything to get rid of this cross like optics?

I tried a lot from closing the corners with duct tape to little wooden blockers in the frame etc. but nothing seems to work really.

For a bit more context, there are lightstrips facing the wall. Most of it is under opaque cove. Also you can see my experiments blocking some of the corners with tape
