  • My attempt at building the #smartmirror

    Hi guys

    Just wanted to share what I’ve been able to accomplish with the various modules.

    I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the end product.

    Making it work was fairly easy; building the frame for it was a much more involved process, but all worthwhile in the end.

    Here are the modules I’ve downloaded and currently use.

    • PIR Sensor by Paviro
    • Bitcoin feed
    • Trello card (bottom right)
    • Twitter topics trending for the area
    • Google time to work (not displayed at the moment - only turns on during certain times)
    • Gmail calendar events
    • Weather info

    I used an old VGA screen with the active HDMI converter, and it works great with the PIR sensor as it shuts off if there is no feed.

    I bought a piece of glass on a local classified for 25$ CAD, and some reflective film (this was actually more difficult than I originally anticipated - I took three tries and still am not 100% satisfied)

    Feel free to comment!

  • RE: My attempt at building the #smartmirror

    @Mykle1 , That’s correct.
    The product Ive used is called
    Gila - Mirrored Privacy Window Film
    Found at a local Canadian hardware store.

    It took me three applications to get it to a level where I was satisfied, with a lot of patience, soapy water, and a credit card, pushing the air bubbles out.

    The local Mirror and glass shops were quoting me 300$CAD + for a glass the size I wanted, so decided it was much cheaper to get just plain glass and this privacy film.

    I put it on the inside of the glass; I didn’t want to have it exposed, and the glass would protect it.

    Negative; I actually got too excited building it.
    I should have documented it.

    What I can do is show you the internals after.
    I used a lot of wood glue and it seems to hold it really well.

  • Compliments - anytime feature

    Hi guys

    Anyone else here have trouble with the anytime feature?

    I haven’t been able to figure out how to make the compliments - anytime feature work.

    It will read off the temperature, but won’t load the anytime section…

  • RE: Where to buy good two way mirrors ?

    Anyone here in Canada?
    I’m looking for a place that’s not too expensive, preferably in Montreal.

    thanks!
