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

[broberg]

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

[SoleLo]

@broberg I did, did you just drill holes in the mirror also to hold it in place, I’m a little nervous to do that…

[Overlord]

Very nice work. I like the look of your mirror and will try to make somethign similar.

May i ask if you have any advice on improvements since since then?

And also what is the purpose of the webcam on the mirror?

thnks in advance for your help
