Magic mirror is complete and hanging!!! Ran
electric wires to plug in behind the mirror to conceal them. Then I integrated the motion sensor into the gang box so you really don’t see it!! Overall I love it

RE: Finally finished
So here’s a break down I used a 19" insignia tv monitor
The mirror is a two way smart mirror from http://www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/The receptacle I used was a combo USB outlet. Is runs 5v 3.6a and powers the tv

Pir sensor from adafruit
https://www.adafruit.com/product/189I used a three gang outlet box and since I only needed two spaces it allowed me to use a blank insert to mount the pir sensor in.
As for the leviton USB outlet I spliced into an outlet I had already installed I spliced into it to run the wires to a gang box behind the mirror. Leaving a seamless look.
I made the frame from poplar wood and stained it in ebony color
As for modules
I am using Wunderground

@johnnyboy it was rather simply. I used https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor
To run it just remember to use bcm numbering instead of gpio numbering
I did extend the wires and I used a ferrite bead to ensure there would be no interference…
Since me tv doesn’t have a true power saving I used
https://github.com/phrazelle/mm-pir-hide-allTo create the illusion it shuts off basically turns the screen black until the pir senses motion

@johnnyboy works as expected it is sensitive but there are adjustments on the back of the unit I have my sentivity just a smidge past minimum
