I forgot one:
Don’t freak out about the “Mirror” in the name. It don’t have to be a mirror. Much creativity is coming from not even bothering to do a mirror - My setup, for instance, is filling a former passthrough in my office… It’ll be a monitor covered with clear material, then wrapped with a face wood and framed to look decent.

@djdocta Damm ! It always happens with me… i think i should stop hiding the API’s & Passwords :-P

Thank you all very much for the advice and tips, I have learned some new things already. One last question I hope, regarding the monitor, I read somewhere about using a touch screen monitor, is it better to use touch screen or no?
-
@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!
