Wow!! I like your mirror a lot. Impressive the final result. What are the buttons for?

@qu1que Thanks a lot for your post.

The bottom button boots the Raspberry in a safe way (without simply turning off the power)

The top button controls the lights in the bathroom via a homematic webservice.

@spitzlbergerj
I love your work. Could you recommend any tipps on how to build a mirror in the bath? I would like to do this as my next project. So are there any Best Practices regarding any silicone or electronics?.
Greetings from Germany :)

@paulb Hallo Paul,
das Silicon, das ich verwendet habe, habe ich im Post angegeben. Der Spionspiegel verlangt ein spezielles Silicon (neutralvernetzend), damit die Beschichtung nicht angelöst wird. Und ansonsten habe ich Standard-Komponenten verwendet. Durch die Lüftungsöffnungen erhoffe ich mir eine bessere Belüftung. Bisher konnte ich keine Probleme feststellen.

@spitzlbergerj Impressive mirror!
Especially like the lighting solution.
What glass did you use? (also from Germany here)
What is the material you have used for the backplate?

[spitzlbergerj]

Hi @lavolp3,
I bought the LED light bar here
As described in the last section of the article, I purchased the mirror from Glas-Star.de and the Aluminium composite panel (ACP - german: Alu Dibond) from plattenzuschnitt24.de as my backplate.

The Aluminium composite panel is 4 mm thick and serves as a “black background” and as a mounting surface for all installations. It also stiffens the wooden frame on which I screwed the plate.
greetings
Sepp
