    Yes, I can imagine that.
    I guess the mirror glass is mounted directly on top of the frame, right? I cannot see any ventilation drills. Did/do you somehow monitor heat inside the frame?

      @yawns You are correct. It’s mounted directly on top of the frame.

      I didn’t notice heat is really a problem, except a little bit for the monitor board…although it now has way more room to let air out then when the back part of the monitor was still on it!
      I was thinking about drilling some holes in the top of the frame to let the hot air out. There is also a small gap between the frame and the wall itself. On the RPi you can monitor temp as follows:

      pi@mirror:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
      temp=54.7'C
      pi@mirror:~ $
      

      I use a small script that shows temperature, but also shows it in Domoticz and sends a Telegram notification if the temperature gets too high:

      pi@mirror:~ $ ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
      Raspberry Pi Temperature (domoticz) is 54.6 °C
      
      pi@mirror:~ $ cat ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
      #!/bin/sh
      
      domoticzip=192.168.1.12
      user=xxxx
      pass=xxxx
      tempidx=204
      maxtemp=70
      
      RED='\033[0;31m'
      NC='\033[0m'
      val_temp=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9`
      val_temp2=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9 | cut -c 1-2`
      curl -s 'http://'$user':'$pass'@'$domoticzip'/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx='$tempidx'&nvalue=0&svalue='$val_temp'' > /dev/null
      
      if [ $val_temp2 -gt $maxtemp ]; then
          echo "${RED}Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C ${NC}"
          curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/sendMessage" -F chat_id=xxxxxxxx -F text="Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
      else
          echo "Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
      fi
      exit
      pi@mirror:~ $

        Very nice job!
        You live in the Netherlands, like me; can I ask you some questions by mail?
        You have some things in your mirror that make me very curious how you did it!

            the only thing was that 30min after hanging it on the wall, “version 1” came off the wall completely

            This gave me a good laugh, thanks. :-)

            I agree. Well thought out (the 2nd one), nicely executed, well documented, pictures and a story. I commend you. Fantastic! :-)

              After I realized I could’ve expected this with “version 1” and saw the screen was still okay…same here :)

              Thanks! I just created a post the way I personally like to read it ;) I spend at least a week setting up everything, testing things out, seeing the “please create config file” after a restart a million times after making a change and forgetting an { [ , ’ or " somewhere :)
              I hope this will give people a bit of a Quick Start in configuring all modules and how I got everything working together ;)

                @marcnlx, well done and kudos to you on your magic mirror. I’m moving to a new place soon always have this thought that i want to build one of this bad boy as a home accessories. With you details guides of building the magic mirror is going to be very helpful and thanks for that.

                you mind if i ping you separately if i hit the wall and hoping you can shed some lights.

                    @marcnlx firstly this mirror is awesome. How did you mount the mirror on the frame with it being bigger than the frame?

                      @solelo look at the pictures and you’ll see that is fitted with four screws to hold it to the frame :)
