      Is there a master list of recommended mirror vendors in the USA?

      Thanks.

    • RE: Questions about Building a Choosing Components for a Smart Mirror

      @sdetweil My original bathroom mirror is 65". I’m not sure I can afford to make a 65" in smart mirror to replace it, but it depends on the cost of the glass, so I’m hoping you can recommend an inexpensive place to order a two way mirror.

      @sdetweil How do most people handle the IR touch screen? Is it possible to use a box frame that has a lip that covers the edge of the touch screen?

    • Questions about Building a Choosing Components for a Smart Mirror

      Apologies…I’m sure all of this has been answered, but I couldn’t find it.

      I have my Magic Mirror software how I like it and I’m ready to actually build my physical smart mirror. I’d like it to be quality while keeping costs down as much as possible.

          - Do I need to get anything besides the tv, touch screen overlay, mirror, and frame?
      

      I was thinking of this tv: https://tinyurl.com/smartmirrortv
      and this overlay: https://tinyurl.com/smartmirroroverlay
      - Are the monitor and touch screen that I selected good?
      - Where is the cheapest good place to order the mirror?
      - Where is a good and inexpensive place to get the frame?
      - What do I need to know when ordering the frame?
      - Also, I got a sample of a two way mirror from twowaymirrors.com and it wasn’t as reflective as I would have liked. It looked a little too dark for me to shave using the mirror. What reflectivity/tramission percentage worked well for you?

      Thank you so much for your help!

    • Newbie Questions

      Hi,

      I am new to smart mirrors and wanted to understand what the state of the art is for a DIY smart mirror.

      Is it typically made with a raspberry pi, an open source OS, a flatscreen display, and a two way mirror?

      Where are the best places to obtain this equipment?

      Is it possible (and how much does it cost) to make a mirror that will replace my existing bathroom mirror (69" diagonal)?

      Also, is it possible to make a smart mirror that is a touch screen?

      Thanks so much for your help.
