    In this video we build a DIY smart mirror using a raspberry pi, a two way mirror, led tv screen, and Magic Mirror. We started our smart mirror with just a tv and dakboard but after a year we decided to do a Magic Mirror on raspberry pi. Once we had our raspberry pi and had magic mirror installed we connected it to the tv, built a pine frame, stained the frame, purchased a custom sized 2 way mirror, and assembled everything. Magic mirror isn't as user friendly as Dakboard but with a little bit of time you'll get there. Check out the links below in order to build your smart mirror.

    Project came out great. Love that its a family project! The only issue I have is the location. You can no longer fully open that cabinet without hitting the mirror. I guess just don't keep anything used often in there. My kids would nail that in a week. Yours is still tiny so nothing to worry about for a few years. Once they hit 3 all bets are off ;)

      I know for sure that you can adjust the layout with regards to the frame but between modules themselves might be harder and is outside of my knowledge. I'm sure it's possible I just don't know how. You can change margin with the overall raspberry pi OS in the display settings.

    @kjemradio 2 роки тому

    I would just buy the Canakit Raspberry Pi package instead of the individual parts. They are over all cheaper, and you get all the necessary cables and even the RPi cases (some of which include a fan because the RPi does get hot with prolonged use.) They do include some other goodies for future projects. Just my opinion.

      I called a couple places but my options were very limited. The shops I called didn’t even have thickness options. I believe I ended up with 1/4”. I was shopping for two main things: glass and cheapest price haha I think I totally blanked on thickness when I was calling but neither shop even asked.
