      Hi all!

      Since we recently built our house, and we didn’t have a mirror where we could see ourselves, I decided to make it a magic mirror and sort of information hub for the family.

      The mirror runs on an RPI4 8GB (first I tried it with an RPI3B+ but that turned out to be to slow) and an 17" laptop replacement screen. The mirror glas is 45cmx170cm and 4mm thick. I also added a lightsensor to control the brightness of the screen depending of how bright it is at home.

      Used modules:

      • clock
      • calendar x 2: our family-google-calendar and an calendar with holidays
      • weather
      • MMM-DWD-Pollen: our son has a pollen allergy so to be prapared
      • MMM-EmbedURL x 2: for the front IPTV Cam and the car information (is the car locked or open, total mileage and how many miles to go)
      • MMM-Fuel: shows the cheapest gas station in a diameter of 5km from home
      • MMM-MoonPhase: just because i like the looks of it
      • MMM-DailyPokemon: for the kids ;)
      • newsfeed: with two rss feeds

      So thats how the thingy looks like:

      And some pictures from the construction process:

            @fatgrandma Awesome!
            How did you attach the laptop screen to be able to see it through mirror glass?
