    • 27" Magic Mirror with Philips Hue integration

      Hi all!

      I just finished building my first Magic Mirror. Well, I’m not quite finished with the modules I want to have on it, so right now it just has the standard config, but anyway, it’s on the wall already! I just wanted to share some photos from the building prosess, because I know that pepole out there looking for inspiration and how to do this, just like I was doing myself a few weeks ago. I ordered my mirror from twowaymirrors.com and it arrived in Norway 8 days after, very impressed by that!! Should probably note that I opted for “urgent processing” when I ordered, because my frame was almost done and I was getting impatient 🙂 The mirror itself is the “Glass Smart Mirror - 1/4” Thickness" and the size is 360mm x 610mm (24.016" x 14.173") - just a few mm larger than my Acer K2 27" monitor.

      I have lots of Philips Hue lights in my house, and I wanted one of their LED-strips buildt into the mirror just because I could 🙂 I’m very happy with this solution, it gives the mirror a little extra, and it’s pretty configurable. I can set it up to change colors or dim-levels based on time of day, or sunset / sunrise or outdoor temperature.

      Well, on to some photos from start to finish

      The monitor:

      I disassembled it right away, no problem with this one:

      My material for the frame:

      Started by making the front frame:

      Glued and clamped for the night:

      Then I made the inner frame for the back:

      Two pieces done:

      Time to have a look at the lights:

      They work:

      I buildt an outer frame to hide the LED, because looking directly at them is not very pretty, then I glued it all together:

      Just trying to avoid that my frame will fall apart:

      Details, not very pretty, but it doesn’t have to be:

      The stupid mirror, soon to be replaced:

      The front finished:

      The back finished:

      That bottom piece goes on the wall, works very well:

      Mirror arrived 8 days after ordering:

      3.3 kilos, not as heavy as I expected:

      It even fits in my frame!!

      So does everything else:
