43" Magic Hallway Mirror
-
The glass I’m using has reflectance of 68% and transmission of 11%
Mirror view has reflectance of between 53% and 76% with a transmission of between 20 and 45%
I was just happier with what the Mirropane gave me.

Aahh I see, Mine is the Mirropane Chrome (I couldn’t order the regular Mirropane in My country)
(http://www.pilkington.com/sv-se/se/produkter/funktionsomrade/specialglas/pilkington-mirropane-chrome#broschyrer)Mine has ha Reflectance of 62% on coated and 53% on glass site (and I’m using the glass site since I don’t want to be able to damage the coating). And a light transmission of 3%.
11% is actually what I’ve would have liked on it! That’s low enough to get rid of most of the backlight in normally lit rooms but still high enough to see everything properly. I’m really envious of you right now!!

VERY nice job!

I forgot to mention that I also have the rpi on a z-wave socket so I can hard reset it if I need to from the Samsung SmartThings app.
The TV is a TCL and SmartThings has a device handler for it, so when both my girlfriend and I leave the house, the TV turns off, when one of us returns the tv comes back on, it also shuts down overnight and comes back on in the morning. I’m using Webcore on top of SmartThings to do that.
I also did the same as @zach and added both USB and hdmi into the frame for easy access to the rpi or the tv.

Nice job. I’m just getting started on my first mirror now. Go Pens!
