Newbie - Build Smart Mirror

@xxLulaBelle If you need a two way mirror, PM me, I have one to sell. :-)

@xxLulaBelle none of my mirrors have any function requiring/or leveraging touch directly

@xxLulaBelle - None of my mirrors have touch capability. Personally, I don’t understand why people want it. It will collect fingerprints and smears. But several people have built it and they seem happy with it.
A touchscreen monitor will work if you’re not building a mirror but instead are building a display with the framework. The reason is that the glass/acrylic that provides the mirror finish will interfere with the touch signals. In order to get touch capability, you’ll want a touch overlay that you can place on top of the mirror (with a regular monitor behind it).

@xxLulaBelle alternatively you could use a gesture sensor and run it with the MMM-GroveGestures module. I have one to swipe pages and to start/stop a news podcast with MMM-Podcast2. Works great!
