@cyberphox
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. -

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.

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…

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!
