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.
Would it work with the foil on a touchscreen, I wonder
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.
@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.
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.
For the glass I used this one:

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?
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.

Like to get some feedback
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
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?
