@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.

That would be an awesome addition to MM :) Keep us in the loop on this one!!

Not by now, but definitely before Christmas ;-)

Have you thought about adding touch to the mirror or is that a dumb idea?

[SvenSommer]

A touch display of this size is a big cost factor.
In addition you would always have some fingerprints on the mirror.
A better solution is maybe a gesture control.
