lolobyte thank you for the response/help

I have looked but have not been able to find. Has anyone had any success with using the Picam behind the mirror as an on/off switch for the mirror ? Does anyone know if the “wake up” time is quicker using the Picam or a PIR sensor to turn On/Off the mirror ? Thank you for ANY help/comment.

cowboysdude, thnx for the reply/info,appreciate the help

Hello, I am thinking of getting a Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus as a detected keyboard for the Pi. Anyone have any experience with this keyboard/touchpad ? Works with Windows 10 or later, Windows 8 or 7; Android 5.0 or later; Chrome OS. Thank you for any comments.

WOW Great information from everyone, thank you all for the help :) time to do a little more research.

Im getting ready to make my first MM. I would like to make it a full length mirror. I am having trouble finding a glass mirror. The ones I see in other countries are expensive. I am considering acrylic mirror and mirror film if needed. I have looked on Amazon but only found a 12"x12" mirror. Any suggestions as to a place to buy the 2 way glass/acrylic mirror ? Than you for ANY help or suggestions.

broberg, Thats a good idea, I like it,thnx for the help its appreciated

Hello All,
First time here. The Magic Mirror has gotten so much of my interest I ordered my first Raspberry and accessories just to build one and can’t wait. The reason for my post is that I have been searching and not able to find a module that would allow me to use a camera on the mirror to take a picture and then display that picture on the mirror. I am building this mirror for my wife and would like her to be able to take a picture of her outfit from behind and then look at the picture to see what it looks like. Something like, she would push a button on the side of the mirror and have say 10 seconds to turn around then the picture would be taken. She could then turn around and look at the mirror and see the picture of her from the back that was taken. Is there a Module that can do this ? Sorry to be so long winded. Thank you for any help, its appreciated.
