Hi All!

I wanted to share my thanks for all of the posts I researched when building my mirror. Here is what I ended up building…

26 in x 60 in Pilkington Mirropane
40 in garbage TV from Walmart

I wanted to give this as a gift for my wife, and I didn’t want to have a large box built around the mirror. I chose a location in our bathroom that had a closet on the other side. This allowed me to set the TV into the wall and mount the mirror flush against the wall.

To do list:
- Turn on the TV on a schedule or via my inputs from my Smartthings hub. The crap TV i bought doesn’t have an option to turn back on when the power is killed. I’m not sure if I’ll build a little IR transmitter or hotwire the physical power button to my Rpi via a relay.
- I would love to find a IFTTT plugin to turn on or off modules via Alexa. I tried to do the Amazon Alexa mirrormirroronthewall module but failed to get it working.
- The Mirropane is dark and does a great job hiding light bleed from the tv. but it’s also hard to see the bottom modules when standing in full light. I may need to remove the bezel from the tv to get it closer to the mirror.
- I’m getting some light behind the mirror because of the small gap. Once I’m happy I may silicone or something around the edge of the mirror to block light.

Thanks for everyone’s help!!
