      Hey! My name is Nick, I’m 26 and I live in Montana now! I’m more of an automation enthusiast but I had an old monitor and I’ve been eyeing smart mirrors for a while, so heck ‘em, I’m going to build mine!

      The other idea I had was toying with the sleep function on the pi itself, if there was a way to have the google assistant be able to wake it. I’m sure it’s possible but I just don’t know how to do it 😂

      Yeah! I have been toying with the idea of using my spare smart outlet/switch. I’m going to keep the pi running near constantly for the google assistant function, but the monitor I would like to be able to wake or sleep with voice, ideally fading in and out, but my easiest option seems to be the switch

    • Just starting my build! Questions

      Hello! Name is Nick and there’s more about me in the introduction thread 😂 I had my spare Asus VE248H monitor with speakers, and I had been eyeing smart mirrors for a while, so I decided to build my own when I saw a DIY video with a google assistant!

      So I’m going with a Pi 3B and google Voice kit for now, but I have so many ideas for future iterations of a magic mirror in my smart home stuff. My questions are more for future builds, as I’m going to keep it simple for my first run;
      Touch Foil- Id like to do a smart mirror in my living room with controls for my house, my question is if I build a mirror where the screen is smaller than the entire mirror, can I use a touch foil like a laptop mousepad? And I’ve read conflicting things on wether or not they actually work behind the mirror, can anyone provide clarity?

      Also, I was wondering about power consumption. Is it worth installing a sonoff switch inline for just the monitor and leave the pi powered? I would be able to toggle the monitor with google voice, no?
