Jake's Magic Mirror (Done)

Offtopic: It’s so freaking cool to see a Chinese(?) version of my mirror! :)

@MichMich Yes, it’s Chinese version of your mirror, I like it, thank you very much. :)

[iMAGiC]

@builer Yes, I tried 2 way mirror and even Window Films(for car), still can’t reach what I need. :(

I think the issue with your “black mirror” is more an issue with lighting in front of the mirror. Turn the monitor off and put the mirror in a bright area. Preferably with strong daylight. I predict the “black mirror” issue will resolve itself.

@bhepler thanks for your comment, but I think the problem is not comes from environment.
I did a comparison table, as you can see, no one can use for vanity as my wife said.

I may choose #4 for house decoration at end this year. but it is expensive and sensitive parts in Taiwan (you should know, the bad guy use it for “Candid camera” behind glass). And, I don’t know if I use #2 for vanity table my wife will accept…

@bhepler I’m afraid it’s probably not the issue. I had the same problem when I replaced a mirror on the bathroom. It was just too dark compared to the one it replaced. The lighting where the same…

Hi ~
Time flies, my new house has been started decorating. Just bought 50" TV for wall mount perpetration and double check installation to avoid any problem.
My Magicmirror will stay in a wide 700mm x height 2350mm chamber with 2 ways mirror in front.

for safety reason and pi’s hdmi on/off function is not stable, I use a PIR to control TV power directly, the tv will automatically turned on when AC power is in, PIR sets turn on AC 30mins for every trigger.

what thing will be inside of chamber:
upper:
airport express x4
stereo amp x4

Middle:
pi3 x1
50" TV x1
wireless AC controller for LED lamp with a power supply x1

Bottom:
10bay NAS x1
GbE HUB x2
Router x1

upper and bottom also have two “AC Infinity AIRPLATE T9, Quiet Cooling Fan System with Thermostat Control” to cooling this chamber.

hope soon enough that I can show my magicmirror to you~

share with you ~

Regards,
Jake
