Finally an easy step by step guide for regular guys on how to install the magic mirror to the Pi, you just convinced me to make my own smart mirror. Thanks a lot, very helpful.
there are plenty of videos on how to make a mirror guys get over it. I have a mirror and making a 2ed one, this is exactly the video I need because I forgot how to install. Thanks a bunch bro nice vid great quality. when haters hate ya know ya doing something right.
Good video dude. Anyone who can't follow your vid and get it installed even with the new changes probably shouldn't be building one. Thanks for putting it together,
For those wondering, this video was meant to be a quick-start guide to setup the Raspberry Pi 4. The new frame-less Mirror build video will be coming in a separate video with a list of parts. Additonally, looks like MagicMirror updated their website - Find the line of code in the "Program" section of my written setup: gregensom.com/Build/SmartMirror/
I knew all of this before, I was looking for on Smart Mirror setup and customizations, but I appreciate the time you took to record and edit this, it's very slick and easy to understand.
This is an outstanding video and great tutorial. I really appreciate it. Even though I am in awe of your ability, I do have some questions. 1) like the person commenting just before me I think, could you show us how you bring it all together to make it a mirror? Seems to me, you’ve set it up on a display or tv or computer monitor so the part about making it a mirror would be great. 2) I’m a gadget kinda guy and if I think of a smart mirror in a similar way to how I have my iPhone set up with widgets, what can be displayed is really infinite right? And at least initially, I’d do the boring stuff like weather, time, maybe it could have news headlines or sport scores or stock index movement/priced right? But now I’ve bored myself already. So do you have suggestions on what kinda A) fun applications to use it for as well as really helpful productivity stuff like a few I’d the ones I’ve already mentioned. (And others…..please:::😇). And how about automations like if you are standing in the mirror between 6 am and 7 am M-F. Shaving, can a routine of some sort be set up so that the hot water to the shower turns on if those requirements are met (I know I’m talking about IFTTT which may be way beyond the scope of this ( and my abilities lol) but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on these. And finally, two last points. LED lighting in the mirror frame, anti fogging for the mirror and how about voice integration? Ok. Are you exhausted yet? Anyway I’d love to get your thoughts on this stuff. Again, great job on the video.
Hi @Grensom! Looks as if they've updated the site & removed the single command line that was outlined in the instructions. Do you mind dropping the line here for those of us following along so we'll be set for success by the time your build video drops? Thanks for all of your help & efforts put into this, it's definitely appreciated!
What was the black material you used on the last smart mirror video? I searched through those comments and you never mentioned what it was called or list where to buy it
Hey Greg... I started the smart mirror project last year and got all the way to wiring it all up and hit a road block. The power supply profiles were too large to allow the mirror to sit flat against the wall... Could you possibly help out with links to the power supplies you use? As I recall in your last video, the links did not match what were in the video. Thanks!
What I would do is either get a right angle barrel connector for the power supply plug to be as flush as possible or if you are good with soldering you can wire in custom red and black wires to where the barrel connector is. There is usually solder pads you can use. I would measure the voltage first to make sure you are soldering to the right parts.
Hi from Spain, congratulations for your smart mirror. You can turn the monitor off and on by saying OK GOOGLE, and the screen automatically shows the smart mirror module or the raspberry desktop? Thanks
@@Grensom Thanks mate. Yes, I was more concern about the software process rather than the hardware elements. That's great! I am been watching your videos for the last couple of days, you are doing a great job, well done! I will start doing mine this weekend
thats a great idea for an easy smart mirror! stick the sheet over a tv and use a permenanet vesa mount on your drawers to stick it directly in the center optional to build a frame that surrounds the TV...smart mirrors dont have to be complicated to build, the demo purpose you have done is perect
How does the magic mirror display the things when just on the monitor (so without mirror part)? Is it just white text on a black background, or is it more complicated? I'm looking to do something similar, but not to show the forecast or news or something like that, but to place my own texts on it (and be able to change it whenever I want/need) But if the Magic mirror app does something fancy to the text (like borders or color gradients or something else that's not "standard and easy"), then I can't it I think
I am relatively new to raspberry pie, as in have experimented with it a little, anyways, my raspberry pi 3 comes with Noobs installed on the microSD... I was wondering if this would be sufficient for the smart mirror, or would I have to remove the interface, and replace it with the raspbian you’ve downloaded?
Question, I'm going to be build a smart mirror soon but I'm trying to find out if I run two screens one smart mirror, can I make the other boot into a different program like osmc ?
Man how did you install the mirror ... that is really the interesting thing about the whole project. Unfortunately no mention of that ????
I don't have a video out for the current build at the moment, but here is my last Mirror Hardware Build: th-cam.com/video/aa3VVZA0e5Y/w-d-xo.html
yeah no shit lol
Same here, come mostly for hardware side of the thing and nothing, nada.
You make it
He didn't bro. He just explained the easy stuff. Honestly am surprised there isn't more dislikes.
Finally an easy step by step guide for regular guys on how to install the magic mirror to the Pi, you just convinced me to make my own smart mirror. Thanks a lot, very helpful.
did you get it?, this tuto actually works?
Definitely a "How To Draw An Owl" type of video.
ruamtauzla they meant this www.google.com/search?q=rest%20of%20the%20owl&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#imgrc=HYLVf6JvYzwIrM:
mulan trailer
not really tho
Did you know how to draw an owl 😂 ?
Tele2 translate
Omg you are the first person that broke this down step by step where someone could understand it. Now I have to figure out the actual build
I'm here after one year! Great Job man!

Grensom excellent work. I am waiting to see how we can put all of to a mirror
Grensom looking forward to the new frameless video. Awesome stuff!
U did great. Can i try it with raspberry pi 3? It will be works? Thank you if u reply my comment
Neneng Herlina Raisa yes the Raspberry Pi 3 will work the same way
@@Grensom now rasbian version is 2020-02-13 so what version do u used?
Liked & Followed, nice and easy setup video. Love to see more of these kinds of videos.
This is incredible, short video which is very informative! Well done
I knew all of this before, I was looking for on Smart Mirror setup and customizations, but I appreciate the time you took to record and edit this, it's very slick and easy to understand.
As always....very sharp videos.
Thanks again.
the best description ever . thank you for this video !!!!!
When are u gonna drop the tutorial on building the frame less mirror?
Awesome work man! When are we getting the build of the frame-less mirror and possibly the installation of different modules??
Thank the lord you did this lol, all the magic mirror tutorials I have watched do not include this extremely important setup lol thank you
Glad to see you're back!
3:06 100% that password says 'grensom' ;)
Oh damn that's a nice mirror you used
Great vid. Nice and simple; cool music. Well done.
hatsoff to you bro..that's lotta work and research
you miss the most important part the mirror :(
the build of mirror you can search on youtube - but this part was also important
a girlfriend?

*MIRORRS ARE EVOVLING.*
good tutorial btw!
Awesome video! Great content and editing
Very well done!!
This is sooooo amazing thank you for sharing!!!!!
How did you build the frameless mirror? Did you keep the monitor?
thanks Grensom, its a good video.
The code at 4:05 doesn't exist on the page anymore, any other way to install it? I tried to copy your code, but that didn't work either..
Yeah me too
Very helpful. Thank you. Does the magic mirror software interface with google calendar or iCal? I want to have a to do list and calendar on mine
Oh awesome, do you know in what language was make the magical mirror program?
Hi @Grensom! Looks as if they've updated the site & removed the single command line that was outlined in the instructions.

You can find the line of code in the "Program" section of my setup: gregensom.com/Build/SmartMirror/
Your display looks really good through what ever glass you used! What did you use and how is the quality if watching TV? Thanks for the video!
Hello or did you buy your mirror for your manufacture thank you
In the near future i want to set up a hud display with a toled screen using that kit, awesome vid thanks!
Grensom do be lookin kinda fresh tho 👀
This is hands down the best video on setting up Magic mirror along with Raspberry pi. Really appreciated! :)
Nice!!! Does it work in the bathroom?? Or would the steam/vapor damage the raspberry Pi4?
Alejandro Sánchez yeah! I have the same question!
If you put everyghing in a casing with a appropiate IP rating, it works.
Excellent video
Great videos!!!
At the beginning you connected the HDMI to the TV, but at 4:58 that didn’t look like the TV. Or am I mistaken?
Hey yo Grensom, can you show us a tutorial about setup google assistant update version?
Is it a borderless TV? Shows how you mounted the mirror and such. I found it very beautiful looks like a TV without borders but you can not be sure.
How did you install the actual mirror and monitor behind it? is it a one way mirror?
Can you please tell me the total cost required to build smart mirror 4?
What was the black material you used on the last smart mirror video? I searched through those comments and you never mentioned what it was called or list where to buy it
Opaque fiber
can't find the code in magic mirror.builders page as the web page updated.
Hey mate the Ctrl+shift+plus and - it's only for the pi4 smart mirrors or every magic mirror setup??
Luis Gatica All Raspberry Pi models running MagicMirror use these commands
@@Grensom well everyday you learn something. Thanks for the heads up preciate!!!
How did u connect the keyboard?

2:43 Confirmed college grad
how do you rotate the MM to portrait?
i was wondering the same. my monitor only supports landscape.
you didn't talk about the fitting on the screen with the mirror. coudl you clarify how you got it to fit exactly?
I have a pocket chip computer , remember those? laying around could this be made using it instead of the raspberry pi?
I'm sorry, what's the name and price of the glass you're using for mirror ?
Are you able to use a battery pack to lower the mirror? That way there is not wires showing
do you think there is a method to make the Serie A football standings appear on the screen?
THIS is how a good tutorial should look! Awesome thanks!
Should not*
The only important part was that mirror look
What apps do you recommend?
Could you please describe the monitor, which type of matrix etc?
Isit a must to use raspberry pi 4?
Hello! I’m a bit stupid so I just wanted to ask when you set it all up it was a black screen not a mirror? So I’m a bit confused
Can this be done with any tv?
Great Video. So simple. Could this be done through a « HomeKit» from Apple ?
Using Siri instead of Alexa or Google A. ?
Hi from Spain, congratulations for your smart mirror.
You can turn the monitor off and on by saying OK GOOGLE, and the screen automatically shows the smart mirror module or the raspberry desktop?
Thanks
Hi do you think could make a living building these and selling them on Facebook marketplace?
Even though I study IT, I've never been really into technology that much but this looks so damn cool, awesome video man
any suggestion for the frame and the mirror itself?
Bro question , did setting up the weather section on the Smart mirror require an extra coding
Is it possible to include Netflix on the one GB raspberry and how much did it cost to build everything
Do you think it’s possible to link an Apple Music module instead of Spotify?
wonderful
May I ask what that screen is? Where did you buy it and put mirror film on the screen?
Hi mate, in this setup did you need to use a HDMI to VGA converter? Would the converter only need to be use if using a old desktop monitor?
Pls show us how to get Google Assistant on the mirror and setting up the microphone. Spotify is also cool to know 👍🏽
He already did a video on how to do spotify
What brand is the mirror? Are there specific specs to look for in a mirror? Where did you source the mirror?
What module you used for the Alexa?
@4:48 that news article aged well
Is it possible to change the WiFi setting on the raspberry pi after the mirror is set up?
Sir I really loved ur videos thank you for making this kind of videos
Bro what monitor did you use
at the moment ,m using laptop ssh to raspberry pi. can i turn my laptop to temporary smart mirror (option to quit anytime)?thx
HI, great video. Can I use this setup with the "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+"? Thanks.
Yes it is pretty much the same. The hardware is different though. Parts are:
Raspberry Pi 3
Regular HDMI
Micro USB
@@Grensom Thanks mate. Yes, I was more concern about the software process rather than the hardware elements. That's great! I am been watching your videos for the last couple of days, you are doing a great job, well done! I will start doing mine this weekend

interesting, what kind of mirror you used for this? any suggestions?
He used a 2 way mirror I believe
It's not a mirror I think it's a transparent lcd screen aka mirror screen
Once the mirror software is installed does the software completely take over or can you switch from mirror or just Rasbin desktop? Thank
The mirror software is just an application. If you exit out of it with "Ctrl+Q" you still have access to the normal RPi for anything else
@@Grensom thank you for clearing that up
@@GrensomI have my os already installed on my pi. Can just Install the magic mirror software or do I still need balena.io
Thanks for explaining how to make the mirror, wood and glue, and how to use Spotify addon.
Oh wait
I am relatively new to raspberry pie, as in have experimented with it a little, anyways, my raspberry pi 3 comes with Noobs installed on the microSD... I was wondering if this would be sufficient for the smart mirror, or would I have to remove the interface, and replace it with the raspbian you’ve downloaded?
Can I use a Raspberry Pi 400 if I just use a long HDMI cable and tuck the keyboard away?
can you also add a, traffic map on this pre-loaded code?
Is it possible to make it be in Your Own language.?
Question, I'm going to be build a smart mirror soon but I'm trying to find out if I run two screens one smart mirror, can I make the other boot into a different program like osmc ?
i need to know what is the best alexa module to setup please make a review on this
Turn any surface into touch using raspberry pi?
Can you make a video on how you made that nice no-border mirror case??
Hey man awesome vid. Do you have a vid on how to set up alexa on the mirror?
