More pictures and details please

Yeah, I’d like a story, too. And, at the very least, the dimensions and type of mirror glass you used and where you purchased it. (planning my next mirror) :-)

Lets hope support for MM lasts eh?

By then, “you’ll” be the support.

So here’s a break down I used a 19" insignia tv monitor
The mirror is a two way smart mirror from http://www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/

The receptacle I used was a combo USB outlet. Is runs 5v 3.6a and powers the tv

Raspberry pi3 to run magic mirror

Pir sensor from adafruit
https://www.adafruit.com/product/189

I used a three gang outlet box and since I only needed two spaces it allowed me to use a blank insert to mount the pir sensor in.

As for the leviton USB outlet I spliced into an outlet I had already installed I spliced into it to run the wires to a gang box behind the mirror. Leaving a seamless look.

I made the frame from poplar wood and stained it in ebony color

As for modules
I am using Wunderground

I kept it simply because i am really new at this but overall I love it

Sorry I don’t have more pics I didn’t even think about taking any during the process

@johnnyboy it was rather simply. I used https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

To run it just remember to use bcm numbering instead of gpio numbering

I did extend the wires and I used a ferrite bead to ensure there would be no interference…

Since me tv doesn’t have a true power saving I used
https://github.com/phrazelle/mm-pir-hide-all

To create the illusion it shuts off basically turns the screen black until the pir senses motion
