Bathroom Magic Mirror

Hello,
very nice and waf.
How did you fix the mirror on the wood ?
Thanks,
marc,

@acdacd2 Hi, thank you very much.
The mirror glass is glued with silicone. The groove in the frame serves this purpose. See also the pictures/photos 3, 8 as well as 17 and 18. -
Very Nice Mirror! Quality work. Can you tell me how you wired up the radar sensor and where you finally placed it? I am assuming that you are using it to turn the screen on and off. What module did you use for that? I cannot get mine to trigger reliably.

Excellent work! That is a really sharp looking mirror. And you obviously planned out a lot ahead of time. I especially love the cutouts for the angle brackets in the corners. That is some serious attention to detail.
-
@bhepler Thank you. Yes, I’ve planned a long time. The mirror should be allowed to hang in the bathroom :-)

@simtechben Hi, I connected the radar sensor like a PIR sensor and followed this description in the broadest sense (https://www.nils-snake.de/archives/magic-mirror-bewegungssensor-einbauen-teil-5). I adapted the script to my needs. But the logic is still as described in the article.
Now I glued the radar sensor outside in the middle of the lower frame board with white tape. So it lies horizontally on the frame at the bottom. Not optimal in alignment, but it works and my wife agreed ;-)
As described above, I would simply place it behind the mirror if there was no Dibond plate or if it had a corresponding cutout. -
really nice :) just a small question, how did you mount it to the bath wall? you drilled the wall for some hings or what?
many thanks :thumbs_up:

@ramez Hi,
Thank you for your kind words of praise.
On picture 7 you can see my assembly construction. I use the same principle as for a kitchen wall cabinet. A rail is mounted on the wall. The construction hangs then with special fittings on this rail. The advantage of these fittings is that they are height-adjustable and depth-adjustable. This makes exact positioning possible. This is very good for drilling between tiles, because you should only drill in the joints.
I then fastened the frame itself with screws from above through the frame into the substructure (see picture 24).

Excellent job!

@spitzlbergerj Hi, i’m planing to adapt that concept and plan for the respective cutout. Did you test the radar sensor through the mirror glas? Has it proven to work through Glas?
