  • luccie_007luccie_007 Member
    Is it possible to send the samples to me maybe? :) ofcourse with some €€€
  • DieterKoblenzDieterKoblenz Member
    Wow, perfect! How much is it in full size?
  • nklerknklerk Member
  • nklerknklerk Member
    You can order a sample at www.PyraSied.nl it's only 2euro

    full size was around 110 Euro for the size I want.

    current expanses:
    new monitor: 300
    building materials 120 euro
    mirror 110 euro
    custom aluminum strips 60 euro.

    @nklerk also wondering about this. I have a 24" monitor lying around that I don't use and I love this futuristic idea. Did you finish yours, are you happy, do you miss anything, would you do it again?

    Would it work with the foil on a touchscreen,  I wonder :)
  • nklerknklerk Member
    I had the 2 way mirror (plastic) glass on it but i wasnt happy with the result.
    it looked a bit like a laughing mirror as the weight pulled on the plastic glass. Allso light cleaning got scraches on it.

    As i am using a lot of my spare time on my NEEO app and beta testing of the NEEO i havent spent any time on the mirror. My next step is getting real glass and try that. this is way more expansive and more heavy so i have to be sure how to procede. could take some extra months before i'll continue.

    You can get touchscreen overlays which you can place on top of the mirror: https://www.aliexpress.com/popular/24-inch-touch-screen-overlay.html
  • jordenjorden Member
    @nklerk thanks for your answer, good to know that the foil isn't a very good solution.

    @JaapPelt that's also quite cool! Any experiences with that? It's (also) supported on Linux but I wonder if it's hard to make it work on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.
  • JaapPeltJaapPelt Member
    No experience, but there are raspberry pi projects online with these kind of touchscreens. I have no clue on the quality, looks and driver support.
    Although it is not as powerful, gesture control might be easier cheaper and more intuitive.(not to mention that it keep the mirror clean): https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/gesture-control-tv/

    Personally, I would prefer to have just some basic data on the mirror like today's agenda, news headlines and weather. Gesture control would be sufficient to scroll through the news items.

    I'm using homey for controlling my smart mirror

    Which software do you run on your smart mirror? How do you push data to it?

    I was thinking I could share what my setup looks like.

    For the glass I used this one:
    https://www.glashandelonline.com/spiegels/confrontatiespiegel/confrontatiespiegel/
    Little bit dark, but really nice, when the monitor is on, you won't notice the backlight. 
    But yea, a bit expensive


    I'm using the latest Magic Mirror 2 software for the RPI, works really nice and has a lot of modules available.
    Installed three modules on the MM:

    MMM-syslog
    API for sending notifications to your mirror.

    MMM-REST with a couple modifications to work with the homey Better Logic App.
    Pulls data from better logic and displays it. For me it displays the indoor climate.

    MMM-Remote-Control 
    Cleanly shutdown (or reboot) your mirror ,hide and show specific modules, set the brightness and turn your monitor off and on. I'm now using the HTTP Homey app to talk to this module.


    I already made a small part of a dedicated Homey MM app to work with the MMM-Remote-Controll module. Instead of using the HTTP App.
    Anyone who likes to help out making this app?

    Who is also using Magic Mirror 2? @DieterKoblenz ?

    @nklerk, nice hardware setup! Did you try MagicMirror?

  • JaapPeltJaapPelt Member
    I think I'm in love...  <3
  • jordenjorden Member
    @PBaan93 I love that! It looks like you made it part of your existing bathroom furniture. Is that complete right mirror the screen, how did you do it?
  • PBaan93PBaan93 Member
    Yes, its the right side of the bathroom mirror. Left side is still normal. Small difference in the color and the 2 way mirror is 6 mm thick instead of 3 mm.

    Gladly I had some help with the hardware.
    Found some pictures of the process.

    We smashed one mirror, took that door and milled out the exact size for the monitor and the motherboard of the monitor.

    Disassembled the monitor and place it in the door .


    Closed/strengthen the back with a piece of MDF(wood)


    Spray painted a black border around the monitor on the back of the mirror glass.
    And when it dried, glued it on the door.
  • jordenjorden Member
    I  <3 it! Makes me really anxious to get started on a similar project :)

    Hey, i am using the magic mirror too. Could you share your config for the rest module? 
  • PBaan93PBaan93 Member
    @Jschuetz, its not only the config. Had to modify the code a bit. Will put it on github tomorrow.

    Do you have a own fork? Or do you use the master https://github.com/Tuxdiver/MMM-Rest

    Hi I tried to make it work, but I am doing someting wrong, the MagicMirror does display time and weather but not the homey better logic.

    Can you help me?

    What i did;
    installed the better Logic app.
    maked 2 flows to store temp and humidity in a variable, (number)
    installed mmm-homey-better-logic from github in the modules folder, 
    copy paste the code in config.js
    changed  the homey ip and Homey bearertoken.
    changed the name of the betherLogicVariable

    is there someting iam forgetting or someting?

    Got it working, map was called, MMM-homey-BetterLogic in stead of MMM-Homey-BetterLogic. one capital different on homey

    Should work.
    Can you show me the config of the mm(without your bearer token) and variable names in homey?
    And do you know how to use Postmen to test the better logic api?
  • WilbertWilbert Member
    It is working now, i got a folder name wrong, i could not reproduce it. Thanks for your help and code
