any ideas? :)

Yeah, I did 1/8. Cheapest they had, really nice 2-way mirror but also keep in mind that the backing is very delicate (at least what I got is).

Those are some nice party favors though: $35 pi + $35 mirror + $x monitor + extras and love! I am truly jealous of that gift, seems like a really cool idea

One thing to note: I noticed that the mirror coating on my magic mirror is very delicate. I am not sure if other people have ordered from TAP Plastics.

Adhesives seem dangerous as it could rip that backing of the foil-like mirror coating right off!

I used some cardboard and then made a little housing for my PIR under the bottom of the mirror. It is a little ugly, but hey this whole project for me was to make something cool (not necessarily beautiful)!

I did a few layers of cardboard between the sensor and the front to limit the viewing angles and for my needs it is perfect :)

Depends how large you want them! I have a monitor (10 inch) covering about 1/2 of my mirror, I think mine cost about $60 /w shipping. Obviously that could get pricey for 20 mirrors if you are also using a pi for each, also I guess it depends what type of video input you are looking for - hdmi and vga (with adapter) are easiest for pi.

Depending on when you want it, there are some on ebay for $40 (shipping from Hong Kong, so expect 3 weeks) or $60 for shipping from USA (if you are in US).

Definitely get the mirrors from TAP Plastics. My mirror cost $40 or so ($25 + shipping, I think), but in bulk you might get a deal.

I spent a bunch on my pretty small mirror but learned a lot and really enjoyed doing it. Let us know how your adventures go!

Hello Everyone! I am Andrew and am new to the forums. I am a software developer by day (and I guess at night too usually).

Recently I made my own magic mirror and so far I am loving the great code that is in place right now. I have had quite a humid summer and so I decided to add in humidity info into the current weather module (pull request). Our weather data actually already contained this information! As things stand right now, it is functional but not that pretty.

I am not sure if adding to an existing row would make sense as that would make the width of the module larger.

I was wondering if someone a bit more design focused could help me out laying this thing out - I have a handful of ideas on how it could look, but none are too great.

Thanks everyone!
