@madscientist very well done and looks neat thanks for that
-
What mirror thickness did you choose? 4mm or 6mm? And why?
-
@secdude I chose 4mm glas because it is already heavy enough to mount the mirror like that.
-
@Adrien Do you have already cut the wires of the backlight? Does it work now without HDMI logo? Whats the delay?
-
@flo actually I have not, I power the monitor via my relay and my presence dedection makes me never see the logo so so far there was no need to do that
-
@yep_DD So you would see the logo if you only rely on the PIR? Can you share a picture of the final mirror design? I really like your frame and thinking of buying one myself.
-
@flo no, the “big” Benq logo is disabled via the developer menu of the monitor. You would only see a small “HDMI1” in the lower right. Yeah, I will post a a few pics in an hour when it is a bit darker outside. Hold on :D.
-
That’d be the final result. The wire on the first picture I was just too lazy to hide. Just needs to be pushed down.
Second picture shows the news podcast as an ovelay. No unnecessary buttons, PIR sensors or anything else that’d destroy the design.
Side note: I added an automatic Wifi Setup Feature which plays a video when it isn’t connected to a WiFi network and creates a hotspot for initial setup.
@MichMich thanks for the amazing project you created. I have had some people at my home being absolutely amazed by the mirror. I always refer them to the spirit of open source and this great community.
-
@yep_DD it looks really neat - congratulations! A little bit too big for my taste, but I like the clean design. How much does it weight? I have only a plaster wall…
