Magic mirror is complete and hanging!!! Ran
electric wires to plug in behind the mirror to conceal them. Then I integrated the motion sensor into the gang box so you really don’t see it!! Overall I love it

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) :-)

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/189I 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

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

@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-allTo create the illusion it shuts off basically turns the screen black until the pir senses motion

photoLooks gorgeous! Awesome wood, I love the dark color. :)
Whats the exact glas-size you ordered for the mirror? You mentioned a 19" monitor, so my question basically is how much bigger the mirror glas is.

@Timeeee I used a 18x14 glass it’s a the 19 in monitor is about 17.5 inches long so it’s a nice clean yet tight fit
