<![CDATA[Frameless Illuminated Motion Sensitive SmartMirror]]>Hey

I want to show you my smartmirror powered by Magic Mirror.

I made a Video to show it to you in action.

Let me know what you think!

Some more Details:

The mirror’s measurements are 80cm x 55cm. While the ones of the frame are 70cm x 45cm. So that the mirror glas juts out the frame by 5cm on each side. It has a thickness of 6mm.
I got the mirror from a glazier around my town. Unfortunately it is a german contact. On the delivery note it was mentioned as ESG Mirastar-Spionspiegel (Spionspiegel = “two way mirror”).

I built the “frame” by myself. Actually it is rather a box than a frame. When standing in front of the mirror you won’t be able to see it.

I attached the 21" monitor to the frame.
The frame is attached to the mirror.
I used a special double-sided tape to fix the mirror to the frame.

In the picture below you can see that the tape is transparent.
I chose that one, because if it was a white one it could reflect light and it may be seen when you stand in front of the mirror. Therefore the box is also painted black.

this looks really great! Could you tell me where you got your mirror from?

Nothing happened :D

Like you can see in the video in the product description (unfortunately it is in german) of the tape that i used, they fixed more than a 10kg weight to a wall. Actually the mirror glas has a relatively minor weight of about 6.5kg ;) AND I used about 20 times as much of the tape, like they did in the video.

I was more worried about the screws that i used to fix the mounting of the frame. :D

I’m also a bit concerned about how well the tape would hold the glass. Aren’t you afraid that it might fall at some point? Or does it seam really solid?

Do you have any concerns about the adhesion of the glass and the tape? I suppose I don’t know much about frameless mirrors. I have no idea how commercial mirrors are constructed.

Do you have a build log? Or pictures of the back? What are you using to attach the mirror to the monitor?
