The Italian "dual" Job [Build]

[N3fasto]

Hi to all,
this is my first try, i’m building a dual system magicmirror with garbage things :D.

First of all bought an old paint with size that fit my trash monitors:

disassembled:

so a build an electronics frame:

And:

Build a bracket for the little amazon echo:

So i’ve applied a mirror skin to my old glass (good enough to see how it works)
Sorry no photos about that, i was in work DIY frenzy :)

Now it’s time to the first run:

and right side:

Still TO DO:

• paint frame in white
• apply sonoff to the monitors (i will control via Alexa behind the mirror)
• buy a real two way mirror (anyone know where in Bologna, IT)

for any advice, i’m here and glad to know
Bye!!!

@n3fasto your google drive isn’t open for the public. So your pictures doesn’t work.

@n3fasto contact Pilkington Italia/Saint-Gobain Italia to know a dealer near to you.

Why did you prefer to use a REAL Amazon device instead of MMM-Alexa? :confused_face:

[N3fasto]

@cr4z33 because of the blu round light when it wake up and because it was on my storage without any utility from a looong time :)

[Cr4z33]

@n3fasto OK…

I remember all the grief i had trying to get that module working…and then stay working…i would’ve paid the small amount for the spot and be done with it too! LOL

A very clever layout. Nice.

This is the release candidate result :-)

Both monitors are connected with a single sonhoff and Alexa can Power On and Off the “mirror”
:-)
