      Hey

      I want to show you my smartmirror powered by Magic Mirror.

      I made a Video to show it to you in action.
      Video

      Let me know what you think!


      Some more Details:

      front of mirror turned on picture 1

      front of mirror turned on picture 2


      The mirror’s measurements are 80cm x 55cm. While the ones of the frame are 70cm x 45cm. So that the mirror glas juts out the frame by 5cm on each side. It has a thickness of 6mm.
      I got the mirror from a glazier around my town. Unfortunately it is a german contact. On the delivery note it was mentioned as ESG Mirastar-Spionspiegel (Spionspiegel = “two way mirror”).

      I built the “frame” by myself. Actually it is rather a box than a frame. When standing in front of the mirror you won’t be able to see it.

      I attached the 21" monitor to the frame.
      The frame is attached to the mirror.
      I used a special double-sided tape to fix the mirror to the frame.

      attaching monitor 1


      In the picture below you can see that the tape is transparent.
      I chose that one, because if it was a white one it could reflect light and it may be seen when you stand in front of the mirror. Therefore the box is also painted black.

        @pascal456 That looks awesome! Do you have a build log? Or pictures of the back? What are you using to attach the mirror to the monitor?

            @pascal456 Thank you. I find your build process intriguing.

            Do you have any concerns about the adhesion of the glass and the tape? I suppose I don’t know much about frameless mirrors. I have no idea how commercial mirrors are constructed.

              Very nice! I’m also a bit concerned about how well the tape would hold the glass. Aren’t you afraid that it might fall at some point? Or does it seam really solid?

                After I put the mirror glas onto the frame, I turned it around, took it by the frame and shook it as hard as it was possible. Nothing happened :D

                Like you can see in the video in the product description (unfortunately it is in german) of the tape that i used, they fixed more than a 10kg weight to a wall. Actually the mirror glas has a relatively minor weight of about 6.5kg ;) AND I used about 20 times as much of the tape, like they did in the video.

                I was more worried about the screws that i used to fix the mounting of the frame. :D
