Thank you for this - you are a legend. I've seen lots of videos out there, but the way you break this down and communicate effectively was super helpful and inspired me to revisit this project.
Great video for beginners. But I figured I would mention that "cd" in the terminal stands for "change directory" and not command. Thought it would help others.
Great DIY build. Agree on the cooling, but I think passive cooling should be sufficient, aka slots and holes. Really dig the Fireboard t-shirt. Great idea for a giveaway 😉
This is an awesome DIY, I I've been thinking making an alarm clock that serves as a lamp, with wireless charging and Google Assistant, basically everything I have in my night stand, maybe would be a good ideia for a next viseo
The entire frame is about a half inch off the wall all the way around that vents the Tv well. What I worry about is the glass on the screen holding in heat directly. We shall see how it fares
It is more about the sound that video behind with. My TV was on a bit higher volume, and your video just didn't start with a "nice tone". Just a to for next time, otherwise a good video same project :)
Why do diy videos always start with screeching machine noises?

Could you please share more details about the two way mirror? What did you ask to you local glass shop? What is the thickness, what were the options? Nice DIY!!
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.
Why not use an Android Smart box plug it into the LED screen through the HDMI and for which several apps are readily available instead of dealing with Raspberry pi??
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.
Very interesting but, a TV that stays on continuously, I will be curious to know the electricity consumption (personally I will be more tempted to use a Laptop screen, there are large very economical in energy)
I have the TV on two schedules. One is managed my my smart things hub which turns the TV off whenever we leave the house. Additionally I have a cron job setup to turn the TV off and on per a set schedule.
@@BreakItYourself indeed, with a little home automation it's always better :-), but don't you think that it would always be more economical in energy if you only used the slab of the tv screen? (knowing that the bulk of today's TV consumption are smart TVs and themselves have their internal systems operating in parallel)
what would be amazing is if they had a two way mirror that worked like those smart glass LED windows , the ones where you can switch from transparent to opaque , so you could switch the glass from a 2 way mirror to a clear piece of glass if you just want to use the TV as normal TV i see you put a 4k chromecast in there, seems like kind of a waste otherwise i mean what could you possible use it for with the 2 way mirror besides music?
Nice set of skills. Isn’t the ‘Magic Mirror’ in a kitchen exposing it to potential humidity from the rising heat from an oven/stove it gets trapped in full top third of a kitchen ceiling. A gas oven releases a lot of humidity which contain particulates less than 2.5 microns, any foodstuffs cooking on a stovetop does the same, even with an electric stove in a pot of water cooking soups etc. Over time kitchen materials will warp and absorb the food oils, layers will trap any old scent of cooked and particularly an accidentally burnt food. The old saying “ If you you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen” is the effect of the properties of all kitchens. As they’re notorious for splashes, spills that vaporize and rise to the ceiling. When opening a cold refrigerator/freezer in a hot kitchen creates a fluid dynamical air flow. And turbulence within the top third space, near the ceiling releases droplets of gas molecules infused with the food oils onto random areas overtime. Particularly if your stovetop is used daily for meals. A Coffee maker used daily will release a lot of moisture that has coffee bean oil molecules trapped in the steam vapor as well. Moving it to a different spot periodically will minimize the effects across the surface areas of the kitchen. The use of a maximum 12-15” TV screen within an average kitchen is recommended as it also can be relocated quickly to accommodate such routines a Thanksgiving dinner or family food gathering. The Hot-Cold,Hot-Cold cycling of temp is the elephant in the room. Also the primary cause for the installation a commercial grade ventilation system. The screen area for a magic mirror strategically placed is the paramount factor in creating sustainability of any semi delicate electronic device in a uncontrolled environment. . A 3’x5’ mirror screening will attract the worst of these contaminates very quickly overtime. A carefully daily use of a H2O based cleaner will be necessary to reduce any risk damage to the softer pine wood construction as well as the condensation buildup up within the mainframe caused by local temperature changes within the mainframe as well as room itself. Water droplets on a video screen will trap any electromagnetic cyclic wavelengths as well releasing small amounts focused radiating heat on its surface due to the refractive properties of a water droplet. As in the focii points within a lens.
Thank you. I want to display my colander but i want to display tasks/events showing time table for 30 days like the one i see in google , and inside each day the task/ event if there is ? What is the model name?
Is it possible to do a new video with raspberry 5 and than installing magicmirror cause i just cant cause its all different from you, just bought all the stuff and now i just cant 😢
A local glass shop. But it was still about $250. I might have been able to go thinner to make it cheaper but this was my first time so that didn’t occur to me until after I received the glass
@@BreakItYourself interesting. 3 sqft was $85 here at a shop in Denver. Yours looks a little bigger than that, but cant imagine it would be any more than $150.
I can see it as being handy in th bathroom, look at the weather while you are shaving, to decide what to wear. Should you carry an umbrella? Or will you be wanting a rain coat also.
So I’m following the guidelines of code to put in but when I get to “npm install” within the ~/magicmirror I keep getting errors saying “npm warning npm does not support Node.js v10.23.1” saying I should get a newer version However, when I run the curl node line it says im already running the newest version of node Do I have to run a previous version Bc it’s not supported? I can’t seem to find a fix
Excellent information. Have you considered doing an update with latest versions of Raspberry OS and various Modules? I’m a Mac-person though, until 10 years ago I was well-versed in all the OSs and command line formats. Can Siri yet be used? I like to keep my info private.
I would have thought OLED/LED/LCD is problematic for this type of application due to burn-in? I wonder if an e-ink type implementation would be better suited. Of course that's going to basically be impossible to DIY
Not an expert but if going for oled, I'd definitely implement a timeout after which the mirror turns off. This can be achieved with a button that sends a wakeup call from the raspberry's hibernation mode, and a time sends the raspberry back to sleep after 5 minutes, and the tv with it.
raspberrypi doesn't have a GUI? Mate .... Raspbian and all non-server distros of Debian have a GUI. Even if you install the non-gui versions you can just apt-get install the gui.
Does the Microsoft To Do Module still work? I've tried to set it up but it doesn't seem to work when I try doing the Authorization Code Generation part. The redirect does not seem to work :(. Any idea?
Why shouldnt a Raspberry Pi have an GUI? It depends on the OS that you are installing(and or then the programm that you are running, but there are ready to use solutions and to customize. That in combination with the autostart function of the chosen OS) and then just hooking up the HDMI to your monitor. For controlling the OS just go for a wireless keyboard/mouse combi with the USB ports of the Raspberry Pi. Really dont get that point of yours.
A problem with this is did you see all those vent slots around the plastic TV frame? They are for air circulation. You'll need to add a fan to the frame, perhaps on top where it can't be seen if you want the TV to last longer.
No ventilation for the TV? BTW... nice long term goals... especially more time in intentional prayer. Especially true these days... so easy to get all distracted by things that want to cause us to worry, but what can worrying do?... nothing but distract us from time with the one who can do all things.
I figured i'd have to add ventilation but haven't yet. I think i'll just cut slits in the top and bottom of the frame. The glass does feel warm but so far everything is running smoothly. I guess being hotter long term will just diminish the life of the TV? idk if i'm doing harm or not. nothing's shut off yet haha and good eye! You're very right.
@@BreakItYourself Modern TV's that size only consume about 80 Watts due to using LED backlights... whereas older CCFL backlit TV's were more like 200 Watts or more. A few slots top & bottom is indeed all it would take... maybe three 4" x 1/2" bottom slots (6 sq. in.) with maybe 20% more vent area on top than bottom. In a properly designed TV, electrolytic capacitors are always the first things to go, since they have a liquid electrolyte. Beyond that it's a matter of how much headroom they designed into their main processing chips thermal management... maybe tied with the mains power supply thermal design. But be assured it will definitely decrease the life of the TV... and possibly the RaspPi. This video inspired me to attempt a rebuild of my old DakBoard systems... of which I have 2 or 3 laying around - made from thrift store computer LCD monitors, integrated the Pi zero inside the monitor. :)
Couple things: 1.) If you are also looking to waterproof it (for a bathroom mirror) I would recommend the similar video on DIY Perks, and using a combination of the techniques used there and here. 2.) Love the baby, followed directly by the dog, cameos! Great vid! ^_^
@@williamsli3745 I'm looking at an LED setup with screen power off when no person is present. Waterproofed for plant in a shower wall. No annoying ads for brand logos. I'm looking at Tails.os ? considering if you're in the shower and privacy for obvious reasons. I might just code most of it from "Scratch", most of the code I need is already written.
Wow , amazing . Your video is informative nd well described. I love the way your family work together (aww....baby is so cute ❤️ ). Thank you so much for such wonderful video. Keep going Sir.
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 ;)

All fun and games until you get up to pee at 3am and see a ghost in the mirror
Yeah, and notice that the ghost is the only reflection in the mirror 💀
*screams* i forgot to turn of my ghost app!

Great job! I’m a techie, so I particularly enjoyed your attention to detail. Bravo and thanks!!!
"The first thing you're going to need is a Raspberry Pi."

Ahhh, The great RPi shostage and price gouging. Try getting your hands on a Orange Pi or Banana Pi instead.
cd stands for change directory and you can use ctl+alt+c and v to copy and paste in terminal
Nice work
Iv got 3 Raspberry Pi’s I love them and I’m totally doing this thanks for the idea man
I wasn't expecting any comedy in this video but the safety squints had me laughing
This is an awesome DIY, I I've been thinking making an alarm clock that serves as a lamp, with wireless charging and Google Assistant, basically everything I have in my night stand, maybe would be a good ideia for a next viseo
perfect, nice job
Awesome idea and innovation. I really would like to have a mirror like this, off course at a cheaper price.
Nice video but 1 question ,will the tv burn out with the heat? ,i see all that wood aroud the lcd.
It’s still going strong!
well thanks for setting off my alexa, lmao wonder how many people got hit by that
At 3am, no less..woke up my girlfriend. 😂
damn, lmaooooooo, and i thought i got it bad when alexa was telling me the weather@@matlhound65
BTW, 'cd' doesn't mean "command"; it means "change directory"
Question:
Ia it possible if I want the mirror to be a touchscreen?
Let say I am using a touchscreen monitor.
Thanks for the mindblowing invention.
Wow. What makes you say the Pi doesn't have a GUI? You can make it without one, but most of the Pi operating systems come with a complete GUI.
I meant to say MagicMirror doesn’t have a GUI 🤦🏽♂️ honest mistake
@@BreakItYourself Okay, that makes more sense. ;)
Thanks for this !
FYI, in Linux, "cd" stands for "change directory" ;-)
hahaha i'm an idiot. thanks for letting me know!
This video has really helped me. Thank you so much
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching and commenting
is there no heat issue, when the TVs vent holes are covered by the frame?
The entire frame is about a half inch off the wall all the way around that vents the Tv well. What I worry about is the glass on the screen holding in heat directly. We shall see how it fares

I understood it in the same way you heard it. and came here to comment the same.
Did you remove the bezel from the tv so that it is flush against the glass? I wonder if that would make the image more visible.
Got the glass cut so it would sit just inside the bezel so the screen and the glass would be perfectly flush
@@BreakItYourself that works too!
There is a gui for the pi
A problem with this is did you see all those vent slots around the plastic TV frame? They are for air circulation. You'll need to add a fan to the frame, perhaps on top where it can't be seen if you want the TV to last longer.
