Hey can someone confirm the specs on this mirror are within what people are using that works?
Thickness 6mm
Transmittance Visible 11%
Exterior Visible Reflectance 38%
Interior Visible Reflectance 16%
U-Value (WinterNighttime) 1.02
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) 0.39
Light To Solar Gain 0.28I have MM working and configured now its just down to getting the actual mirror and mounting. Thank you everyone for all of your help.

@RE_Magic_Mirror That’s a bit more specific than we usually consider around here.
That 2nd variable, the transmittance visible, is usually about all we consider. I just bought a mirror that was also 11% transparent and it works great. It is maybe a little dim in a brightly lit reception area, but I’m certainly not going to send it back.
At most, you might want to go up to 20% transmittance, but I would use that only in areas that are in bright sunlight. For your typical household / interior mirror, I think you’re good to go with that mirror.

@bhepler I’ll second that!
