    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

    From
    http://m.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-Decora-Tamper-Resistant-Combination-Receptacle-and-USB-Charger-White-R02-T5631-00W/205730876?MERCH=REC-_-mobileweb_pip_rr-4-_-205092277-_-205730876-_-N

    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
    Random quotes
    Flikr
    Compliments
    Date time

    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

                    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
                    photo

                    Looks 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
