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! ^_^
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.
This might be the best TH-cam video I ever saw. Step by step. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 currently sitting around unused. The two way glass is kind of pricey though.
Have I ever wanted a ridiculous way to check the time, the weather, the calender, etc etc... Of course I have wanted that... who doesn't? Joking apart though, this is on my to-do list and I'm so looking forward to building something like this. I want that 'Minority Report' vibe the smart mirror brings. Anyway; man, that thing is beautiful.
2-3yrs back i started making one but left half completed as i was having problems with GA.. will resume making it again... It was when rpi3b came out.. still got all hardware. Thanks for your video..
What a counterintuitive idea. You have mirrors to see reflections. People try to keep this as clear as possible. You have screens to display information and people have spent so much money to reduce glare and reflection.
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
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 ;)
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 😉
"Magic Mirror, tell me today, did all my friends have fun at play?" Yes, I grew up with Romper Room in the '60s. I was a "Do Bee", not a "Don't Bee".... ;-P I see too many visibility and reflection issues for me to even attempt this. I'd just mount the screen on the wall without the mirroring, but, I'm not your wife... ;-)
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.
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.

A command it's any instruction to perform a specific task through the command line console, what the hell are you talking about.
Stumbled on your video, really solid advice.You prob don't get this one much but I can handle the Rasberry Pi but not so much the carpentry aspect. LOL I bought a Kreg jig and it's still sitting in the box staring at me wanting to be used!
Thank you for sharing it. I have one question on the chrome cast. Have you used it? I am thinking if it works, can I watch youtube videos by it? It sounds nice if I can watch the videos while cooking
Ah man, I just stumbled across Magic Mirror today and thought it would be rock hard to do. Your video has made it seem really simple, thanks a million for that! Does it just continually cycle until you turn it off? Thanks a million for this vid!
Just finished ours, using smart mirror glass, its in a room with a lot of natural light and im finding it hard to see, especially during sunny days the screen is just washed out. at night its perfect.
Wow, someone really needs to put a shell over this to make it easy to install and add or remove stuff. Saleable item then, especially if you can just buy it complete.
Can the two way mirror be larger than the monitor? Would you see the edge of the monitor? I would like to do this with my bathroom mirror but it will be very large so I don’t want to buy a large tv.
So if you want to show the body then use reflective dot and to show the spirit or soul then turn reflector off and turn absorbed dot on and each apart only 3.33×10^-43 m
Thank you for explaining the modules I got that pretty good but I’m having so much trouble, and I mean so much, on trying to auto start the actual magic mirror when I turn the pi on. I’ve been trying to figure it out for multiple days and nothing I do works. If you see this comment can you please give some advise or what you did with your mirror? Thank you.
love the idea but what i dont understand is why you stained the wood so that it doesnt fit with the rest of the decor ? why didnt you uncase the tv as you had the wood surround for hanging so as to make it thinner ?
@@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.
This is a very cool build. but I was bothered the whole video due to the hanging height. I can see that the bottom of magic mirror is lower than the cabinets on the adjacent wall. I could not get it out of my head. Sorry it’s mostly my problem but I think you should move the mirror up so the bottoms match up. 😂
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.

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!
That would be a nice prank 😂
Thank you for this video. This is probably the most in depth yet beginner friendly smart mirror video that I've seen.
This might be the best TH-cam video I ever saw. Step by step. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 currently sitting around unused. The two way glass is kind of pricey though.
Dude this is some excellent production quality!
Thanks man! also thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you're enjoying Appo.

OK here's an idea. Adding a module to see you ring doorbell live footage. Also touch screen.
I’ve wanted the same thing. If I ever get the time I want to try
I was sooo into the video and at minute 9 I had a mini stroke. You got me good man! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to comment!
This is so cool!
Man you are brave to try it with such a huge TV.
You've got some pretty good skills there, mister. Congrats and nicely done, sir! 👍👍
Thanks for the kind words!
Great project and good explanation. Congratulations 👏

Great video!
8'54"... 😂😂😂 Nice job 👍by the way. Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪🇩🇪
Great job! I’m a techie, so I particularly enjoyed your attention to detail. Bravo and thanks!!!
A sweet project! to have built this and film it as you went along is amazing.
This is completely awesome and I'm definitely going to make one.
My brain : no we're not.
Iv got 3 Raspberry Pi’s I love them and I’m totally doing this thanks for the idea man

You are right and I am careful but I’ve got 3 years to figure out a solution 😂
@@BreakItYourself 2 years to go, any closer to finding a solution?
I made a vent slot in both the top and bottom panels to ensure the airflow would be enough to keep the electronics from toasting during use
I wasn't expecting any comedy in this video but the safety squints had me laughing
Great DIY build. Agree on the cooling, but I think passive cooling should be sufficient, aka slots and holes.

This is the best video I've seen on this, good job!
"The first thing you're going to need is a Raspberry Pi."
2022 hangs its head in sadness.
Ahhh, The great RPi shostage and price gouging. Try getting your hands on a Orange Pi or Banana Pi instead.
"Magic Mirror, tell me today, did all my friends have fun at play?"
Yes, I grew up with Romper Room in the '60s. I was a "Do Bee", not a "Don't Bee".... ;-P
I see too many visibility and reflection issues for me to even attempt this. I'd just mount the screen on the wall without the mirroring, but, I'm not your wife... ;-)
I was thinking of this and wanted to see if someone had this up. Well I'm impressed.
I think, a smart mirror would be even better as a touchscreen^^
But this is great as well.
The best smart mirror tutorial so far!! Thanks for uploading!
You are a legend. Subbed
How did you go about getting it to turn on with your Alexa? Was that a module? Or are you just turning on the TV with Alexa?
cd stands for change directory and you can use ctl+alt+c and v to copy and paste in terminal
Nice work
perfect, nice job
Very cool, here take my money!
Thanks for the knowledge.
Right on! Nice vid
Very impresive ! Hope its work good and dont overheat and glass from inside stay clean
Hello, very nice video, thank's a lot for your explanations i've needed to undersand for module, now that's right...

Cool project
What were you using to get your smart light switch and Alex to talk to the Rpi? Is the TV smart and you’re simply using command to turn it off/on?
Very well done. Good job
u can use an old laptop display if u get a driver board some even support touch
Stumbled on your video, really solid advice.You prob don't get this one much but I can handle the Rasberry Pi but not so much the carpentry aspect. LOL I bought a Kreg jig and it's still sitting in the box staring at me wanting to be used!
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!
Thank you, for the video. I have been washing your previous videos about Dakboard. I like this setup better!
The future is real!) 👍
What size TV did you use? Did you use the same exact size two way mirror?
2:15 PRIVAVY PROTECTION ... seems legit LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I just saw this. Amazing. Definitely legit
Great video and great walkthrough. I see your family is growing, fantastic mate.
thanks for the kinds words! And yes it is, we're 10 weeks into this baby thing. Holding our heads above water haha
Thank you for sharing it. I have one question on the chrome cast. Have you used it? I am thinking if it works, can I watch youtube videos by it? It sounds nice if I can watch the videos while cooking

Beautiful !!
super helpful!
Thank you 🙏
How do I make it vertical? In config?
What happened when the current goes and comes back will the MMM will be on or we should open it again???
That's really neat
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.
Excellent job. Thanks!
flat sceen tv-s required some ventilation?
We need these mate why there is no popular smart mirror
Awesome 👍 thanks for sharing!
Just finished ours, using smart mirror glass, its in a room with a lot of natural light and im finding it hard to see, especially during sunny days the screen is just washed out. at night its perfect.
Jesus, I jumped when the video started.
😂 whoops
Why do diy videos always start with screeching machine noises?
This video has really helped me. Thank you so much
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching and commenting
The project is amazing. We want to feature this project on our channel (with proper credits to your channel). If it sounds good, then kindly reply.
How clear is the mirror for creating one for the LED tv to watch TV in a living room?
This needs to go in the washroom!
Bitcoin price in the bottom right corner. Legend.
haha idk about that but it is fun to see the price frozen in time.
Looking great! How can you turn it on by using Alexa? Are you using a smart plug?
Wow, someone really needs to put a shell over this to make it easy to install and add or remove stuff. Saleable item then, especially if you can just buy it complete.
Excelente trabajo, lo estoy haciendo al pie de la letra. El mejor video hasta el momento

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time
You did such an awesome job! Question tho, how do I turn it on and off manually?
Where did you get your "crescent box" plate?
Thank you for explaining the modules I got that pretty good but I’m having so much trouble, and I mean so much, on trying to auto start the actual magic mirror when I turn the pi on.

love the idea but what i dont understand is why you stained the wood so that it doesnt fit with the rest of the decor ? why didnt you uncase the tv as you had the wood surround for hanging so as to make it thinner ?
There is a complete Linux computer inside the TV, kinda sucks that you need to add your own second computer on top. Great tutorial, thank you!
did u cut a hole on your dry wall to hide in the tv?
With a camera, use openVC detecting face then automatic turn on TV . good idea?
I'm working on this.
@@muninnsmith7958 Great! Hope TV won’t have annoying logo after power on.
@@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.
@@williamsli3745 Ya, OpenCV will be used for sure.
And use "mirror application" to display on TV background what the camera sees... so you don't need real mirror , more simple...
This is a very cool build.
but I was bothered the whole video due to the hanging height. I can see that the bottom of magic mirror is lower than the cabinets on the adjacent wall. I could not get it out of my head. Sorry it’s mostly my problem but I think you should move the mirror up so the bottoms match up. 😂
absolutely beautiful project. im gonna build this and my wife gonna love this
How did it go??
@@bfryxomeg7681 his wife was cheating on him
@@bfryxomeg7681 His wifes boyfriend loves the new mirror
How do you get the api key for the weather?
Hello, i don’t have a windows computer at home. I have a mac, is it still possible to do it ?
It would be great if you could bleep it out when you say “Alexa” as it triggers listeners’ nearby devices.
very cool
Very cool! Can you freely control the layout of the modules onscreen? Add spacing, margin or padding between them/against the frame?
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.
Thank you for this video. This is probably the most in depth yet beginner friendly smart mirror video that I've seen.
thanks for the kind words and for providing feedback! cheers!
