@j.e.f.f said in A thin MM with metal frame, hidden IR camera and 32" Inch HDTV:
That said, I’ve found less and less practical use for separate display profiles, now having had my mirror on the wall for a few weeks. It turns out that most of the information on the mirror is useful to everyone in my household, so different profiles really only differ by one or two modules, and I’m not having problems fitting everything on to the screen at once. I would like the mirror to be able to greet me, however, when I stand in front of it, as it adds that cool factor. But I doubt I’m going to use it to actually change the display of the mirror.
That’s exactly why I didn’t bother with it. Not because it’s not a good module but because I really don’t need it.

@cowboysdude The Frame was made in small factory in Berlin. The main challenge was to find somebody with free capacities in the next three month!!
Seems like it’s a good place for metal processing companies around Berlin! -
I found I nice website to share constructions online, its’called Onshape.
If someone is interested in the metal frame model. It’s available here. -
@SvenSommer
Can you decipher even more details about the costs of the used parts? -
@Arthur
Sure, I already thought about this. Unfortunately I’m very busy this week. Hope to get it done on the weekend. -
Great! Thank you!

I’m planning to upgrade the RasperryPi3 with a stronger board, to get several powerful module run able at the same time.
If you have gained some experience with an alternative, please share in this topic. -
@Arthur: The costs, used parts and main challenges I experienced when building my smart mirror are now updated on my blog on

Any news on replacing your Pi with a more powerful alternative?

I have been trying out https://home-assistant.io/ I got it running on an old raspberry pi. Haven’t spent a lot of time on it, I hoping to back to once I get my mirror finished.
