Want to buy smart mirror

I want to buy a smart mirror and install it in my bathroom. Will the steam from my shower damage the mirror?

Hi, I’ve made the smart mirror and placed it in the bathroom. I also thought that steam and humidity could damage the circuits. I’ve been with it for over a year now and never had any problems.

You can see it here:

Also I have to say that I have put in different points of the circuitry, some bags of silica gel like these to absorb the humidity:

I also have to say that all the electronic part is inside the frame that holds the whole structure, so it is not in direct contact with moisture.

I hope it helps.

Regards.

Any smart mirror should be designed to withstand those kinds of conditions, these kinds of items are often intended for the bathroom area so a good manufacturer should keep this in mind when making the product and prepare it so that it can resist moisture or protect the parts in some way.
