@cowboysdude Super cool community. Any advice on raspberry power? Should I cut electricity 12 hours a night with a smart plug? Or run it 24/7? Which is better for longer life?

In my opinion, I would leave it running. As long as you keep the temp of the Pi somewhere in the neighborhood of 40°C. Personally, I prefer that to 365 unnecessary boots a year.

@cornusandu I leave mine running all the time… have had no issues after a year so far :)

@cornusandu if you just turn off the electricity is not that good for the hardware in terms durability, but if you create a shut down routine e.g. 5min before, than it should be fine.

@Mykle1 He is running at a stable 65 Celsius

I mounted back the fan. Now is down to 38.5 Celsius

@cornusandu Pretty slick looking MagicMirror! What monitor did you use?
-
@enettekoven It is a very old 19 inch 3d monitor, My wife decided that she want a curved monitor and this one was just sitting in the garage

Very cool! How have you done the full length mirror? Is that film over glass?
