Hahaha, I’ve heard it two or three days days ago, on last full moon. Awesome!! My sister heard it and she was scared with the wolf sound, hahaha.

Wow!! I like your mirror a lot. Impressive the final result. What are the buttons for?

@mykle1

Hi! I really like this module! It’s so cool!! I’ve just recently updated it to the last version, and I can’t wait for next full moon to hear the wolf audio. I have one doubt about it, when that sound it will be played? Ramdomly or how?

Thanks!

Hi!

First of all I would like to thanks to @goldjunge_chriz for the opportunity to acquire a 2-way mirror. It is impressive, much better than the acrylic sheet. And, I’d like to thanks to @MichMich too for the Magic Mirror software.

Here I leave some pictures of the montage that I was doing this last summer, at leisure. I have been quite happy with the result. I hope you like it!

I am going to try not to extend myself too much with the explanations, if someone has any doubts, I will kindly answer him.

The bathroom cabinet consists of 2 pieces: a frame and a door:

---

A coat of paint…

---

The screen of a second-hand 24-inch LCD TV

---

To correct these errors in the cut with the electric saw, I have put some plastic corners and black silicone. This is the result:

---

E.L. wire installation:

---

Mirror installation:

The mirror was glued with black silicone too

---

Preparation of the electrical wiring in the frame…

… and the TV speakers. I designed a simple piece in 3D to put them inside (they are available in thingiverse in case someone is interested).

Final assembly:

Detail of Raspberry Pi 3B

---

Last adjustments and … It works !!!

I have made a pdf with the connection scheme of all the electronic part that you can see here (I’ve had to convert to png previously to put it here):

And here is the python3 script to make it all works:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# Para que funcione correctamente, hay que instalar los siguientes
# paquetes:   sudo apt install python3 python3-rpi.gpio

# Script que activa la pantalla y el EL wire cuando detecta movimiento
# a través del sensor de presencia PIR

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN)						# SALIDA DEL PIR (PIR OUTPUT)
GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.OUT)					# EL WIRE (CABLE ELECTROLUMINISCENTE)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)

time.sleep(120)
os.system('vcgencmd display_power 0')

while True:
    if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):		                # SI DETECTA PRESENCIA (IF MOTION IS DETECTED)
        os.system('ogg123 -qz /media/pi/MUSICA/ &')	# ACTIVA LA MÚSICA (TURN MUSIC ON)
        os.system('vcgencmd display_power 1')	        # ACTIVA HDMI --> ACTIVA PANTALLA (TURN ON SCREEN)
        GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)			# ENCIENDE EL ELWIRE (TURN ON EL WIRE)
        time.sleep(600)					# "DUERME" 10 MINUTOS (SLEEP 10 MINUTES)
        os.system('vcgencmd display_power 0')		# APAGA SALIDA HDMI --> APAGA PANTALLA (TURN OFF SCREEN)
        GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)			# APAGA EL WIRE (TURN OFF EL WIRE)
        os.system('sudo pkill ogg123')			# MATA PROCESO MÚSICA (TURN OFF MUSIC)

I hope you like it as much as I do!!

So far I have not managed to make the music stop when the push button is pressed, but I will end up getting it …

thanks @Mykle1, I will try it.

Hi!

I’m trying to make a new post about my new smart mirror on the “Show your mirror” section, but when I try to upload a picture I’m getting the following error:

“Request Entity Too Large”

Initially, the error was that the picture was over 2048 KB, so I resized it, but now its size is 1.6 MB and I can’t upload any picture, it shows me the error I commented some lines above.

I hope someone can help me.

Hi,

It should work without problem with any raspberry with raspbian installed, and MagicMirror works on raspbian ;). The important thing is to connect the button in the apropiate GPIO pins and then the scripts point to that pins. I think the tutorial of the link it should work. Follow instructions on that tutorial.

Make sure the button is a push button instead of a switch.

Sure! thank you!

Hello @Goldjunge_Chriz, I’ve received the mirror today. I liked it a lot, only that I had made up the idea that it was a little thicker, but even better for the piece of furniture that I am building (I will put pictures in the “show your mirror” section of the forum when is finished).

I just wanted to ask you a question, in one of the faces of the mirror, there is a film of very fine material, which can be extracted. Does that mean there is one face through which you look better than the other? Or in other words, what is the purpose of protecting only one of the faces with that film? (I put a picture of it)

Regards and thank you very much for the management!
