I paid € 130,00 for a Pilkington MirroView glass to cover the area of a 55" TV (and beyond)! 😬

May i ask if you have any advice on improvements since since then?

And also what is the purpose of the webcam on the mirror?

thnks in advance for your help

@marcnlx, well done and kudos to you on your magic mirror. I’m moving to a new place soon always have this thought that i want to build one of this bad boy as a home accessories. With you details guides of building the magic mirror is going to be very helpful and thanks for that.

you mind if i ping you separately if i hit the wall and hoping you can shed some lights.

No problem…just ping me if you hit any issues.

@marcnlx said in My Magic Mirror - 100x70cm:

the only thing was that 30min after hanging it on the wall, “version 1” came off the wall completely

This gave me a good laugh, thanks. :-)

I agree. Well thought out (the 2nd one), nicely executed, well documented, pictures and a story. I commend you. Fantastic! :-)

After I realized I could’ve expected this with “version 1” and saw the screen was still okay…same here :)

Thanks! I just created a post the way I personally like to read it ;) I spend at least a week setting up everything, testing things out, seeing the “please create config file” after a restart a million times after making a change and forgetting an { [ , ’ or " somewhere :)
I hope this will give people a bit of a Quick Start in configuring all modules and how I got everything working together ;)

Very nice job!
You live in the Netherlands, like me; can I ask you some questions by mail?
You have some things in your mirror that make me very curious how you did it!
Peter

Thanks! Yeah sure, no problem.

I didn’t notice heat is really a problem, except a little bit for the monitor board…although it now has way more room to let air out then when the back part of the monitor was still on it!
I was thinking about drilling some holes in the top of the frame to let the hot air out. There is also a small gap between the frame and the wall itself. On the RPi you can monitor temp as follows:

pi@mirror:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=54.7'C
pi@mirror:~ $

I use a small script that shows temperature, but also shows it in Domoticz and sends a Telegram notification if the temperature gets too high:

pi@mirror:~ $ ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
Raspberry Pi Temperature (domoticz) is 54.6 °C

pi@mirror:~ $ cat ./myscripts/rpitemp.sh
#!/bin/sh

domoticzip=192.168.1.12
user=xxxx
pass=xxxx
tempidx=204
maxtemp=70

RED='\033[0;31m'
NC='\033[0m'
val_temp=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9`
val_temp2=`vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c 6-9 | cut -c 1-2`
curl -s 'http://'$user':'$pass'@'$domoticzip'/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx='$tempidx'&nvalue=0&svalue='$val_temp'' > /dev/null

if [ $val_temp2 -gt $maxtemp ]; then
    echo "${RED}Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C ${NC}"
    curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/sendMessage" -F chat_id=xxxxxxxx -F text="Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
else
    echo "Raspberry Pi Temperature ($(hostname)) is $val_temp °C"
fi
exit
pi@mirror:~ $

I’m impressed. A nice and clean build, well written documentation, some nice pictures to look at and everything with markups and such. Very well done, this is how more Showrooms should look like :)

Thanks! If you know how many hours I spent “extra” on my laptop because of not so well written documentation, no markups and such…I thought I would save everybody some time ;)
