@mdhenriksen the way my bathroom is set up lends it self to turning on when i’m looking to utilize it. The sink it will be above is just before the shower.

I have been thinking about finding a nice bluetooth speaker (with mic) to use with it, and tapping into google voice or something. itd be nice to have it be able to reach to spotify for music.

I do have access to a bunch of laptop screens, I was thinking about attempting to daisy chain them. The ideal outcome would have the entire mirror able to have output pushed to it.

The medicine cabinet is 4 3/4" deep, i dont feel like i’d have much problem putting things in the middle section.

Hey all,

I’ve been slowly gathering materials for my smart mirror build for a bit now. I’ve got an RPI 3 to drive it, I’ve elected to put it inside a 3 door medicine cabinet. I think that will give me a nice structure to install into, as well as provide some needed storage in the bathroom. I can source some 1/4" two way glass for the mirror locally, and i’m pretty sure the cabinet is sturdy enough to accommodate the ~10 lbs of glass and the screen + hardware associated.

I’m not 100% sure on what to do for a screen though. I’d love to utilize CEC to handle the on/off functionalities, but thats not a requirement at all. I do have a nightvision camera to put with the Pi, so motion sensing can occur.
The Cabinet is 42Wx32H, the middle mirror measures 14Wx29H.

Below are some pics of the medicine cabinet, Thanks in advance!!
