Hi folks,
I was trying to build this like… forever, but today, I hooked it up the wall.

It is magic, without the mirror though, because I didn’t like the quality in regards to readability from my old scrap panel, but it nevertheless looks awesome now.

It was a lot of work, as I started with reusing my virtual home server instead of dedicated rasppbery pi, and with a bigger monitor instead of a energy-efficient panel, and with a spy-glass, instead of regular glas… and at a different position…
But now I am using an old laptop screen that can to 720p, I use a dedicated raspberry pi (on the other side of the wall, it is the laundry-room) and regular 15€ picture frame with glass (easier to clean).
It is connected to openHAB, so the screen goes off when no moments in that area.

Greetings!

really? this topic has 63k views, so it is litterally really annoying and problematic to a lot of people.
It is a website for a mirror, how hard do you want to make it to be set up? the website should be served to anybody who can access it. IT pros who need to secure it will be able to, without this trickery. this is bs.
