Magic Mirror Wires

@Fozi i put an electrical outlet in the wall behind where I mounted my monitor,
connected to one below it -
@sdetweil my better half would have killed me if I drilled a hole into the tiles in the bath room an would have made a MagicTombstone from the mirror for me :face_with_tears_of_joy: :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@Fozi Thanks very much, your mirror is very impressive. Will look at your guide for other help too 😁

The mirror in the office has an electrical outlet behind it. It makes for a very clean installation. I put a hardware switch on the outside of the frame to turn the system on & off. I think this is how I’m going to go from now on. Having a switch on the mirror with an external plug is convenient and lets you swap out various lengths of power cord.
All of my mirrors have a power strip inside the frame. It gives me multiple outlets, surge protection and enough juice to power the Pi. Wire the power strip to the power socket, leave the power strip turned on, control the power via external switch.
