      @cowboysdude The Frame was made in small factory in Berlin. The main challenge was to find somebody with free capacities in the next three month!!
      Seems like it’s a good place for metal processing companies around Berlin!

          Can you decipher even more details about the costs of the used parts?

            Sure, I already thought about this. Unfortunately I’m very busy this week. Hope to get it done on the weekend.

                I’m planning to upgrade the RasperryPi3 with a stronger board, to get several powerful module run able at the same time.

                    Any news on replacing your Pi with a more powerful alternative?

                      I have been trying out https://home-assistant.io/ I got it running on an old raspberry pi. Haven’t spent a lot of time on it, I hoping to back to once I get my mirror finished.

                        That would be an awesome addition to MM :) Keep us in the loop on this one!!

                            Have you thought about adding touch to the mirror or is that a dumb idea?

                              A touch display of this size is a big cost factor.
                              In addition you would always have some fingerprints on the mirror.
                              A better solution is maybe a gesture control.
