I would def go for a large seamless mirror. I’m not sure on costs but you will want to make sure you use good quality material, this sounds like a “real” home project…not some toy/tinkering project. Don’t cheap out and use acrylic with film and such…you will be using this mirror everyday.

Serviceability wise…that will be tough, unless the monitor or HDMI dies I don’t see you needing to get to the display itself very often if ever. For software you can of course login via ssh/vnc and make all the changes you need to from a remote machine. If there is any way to keep the raspberry pi itself “out” of the mirror ( maybe cut out a small nook with a hinge door and route the cable behind the wall? That will make accessing it a lot easier without having to take down the mirror.

Finally don’t forget to take moisture into consideration if this is going to go in a bathroom!

interesting as I have a 300 dollar credit not 200 and it looks like its for the entire year!

I don’t see why it would be any different from your rpi

2. I would like the text that says " Dr.Baqui" to be lined up on the left hand side. It is the stock calendar and I have tried a few things but can’t get it working. when I tried Float: left in the css it did pull it to the left but now the time of the event isn’t on the right side it’s in the middle.

good work on the module. I can’t use it as my mirror has no touch input available. Was wondering if there is any way to pipe into find my friends…(prob not knowing apple)

@sdetweil yah I really want to get this to work. Very frustrating.

@sdetweil

Is there any work around for this? I’m almost done with my mirror! Lol

@sdetweil

I will look into this. Do you think it’s an issue with the module or with the pi entering some kind of weird sleep state due to lack of signal for so long?

As I mentioned the commands that the module sends to sleep and wake both work properly with my display it’s just when there is a prolonged no signal that it won’t ever wake up.

I have this module up and running but it seems to " time out" after a bit. When I try and wake the machine in the morning it doesn’t work…even turning on the monitor manually…all I see is no signal and I cannot get the screen to work even after mouse/keyboard input.

The pi is still on, accessible via ssh, anyone have any ideas?

I use mmm-google route and while It should be sufficient under the free credit they give you . I was alarmed to find my actual usage much higher than I thought ( something like 500 requests in a few days) I use mmm-schedular to have the google module refreshed more frequently in the morning ( when I would be looking at it most likely) than in the afternoon and evening ( when I am usually not even in the house)

hope that helps
