- A smart mirror is a two-way mirror with an electronic display behind the glass. The display can show the viewer different kinds of information in the form of widgets, such as weather, time, date, and news updates.These are quite expensive if you go to buy one already built, but this video will show you how to build a smart mirror, set up the magic mirror module & optimize it for use in India, all without needing a Raspberry Pi.

How did you and from where did you got that mirror for 250₹ I'm also in india please tell me
Hey,
I got it from a shop in goregaon near gen AK Vaidya Marg.
@@spindletech358 is it completely two way mirror glass or two way flim stuck in a glass
It's a one way mirror, as it provides a better quality than an acrylic or a glass with a film on it.
@@spindletech358 is that a shop where they sell only mirrors or like a hardware shop ... I'm asking u all this because getting a two way mirror (glass) in that price is nearly impossible
It is amazing... I am a tech enthusiast and loved the way you shot the entire video.. Great going.. Keep making such awesome DIY TECH videos.. 👍🏻👌🏻 Subscribed to your channel! 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad that you enjoyed that! 💯
I'VE NEVER SEEN A MORE HELPFUL TUTORIAL OMG 😭♥️♥️♥️
oh god!!! finally someone made it easier !!
so helpful thank you bro, am just wanted to know how to change this all in magic mirror
Finally i will build my own smart mirror. Thank you for explaining in details. Loved your presentation. One more sub to your channel.
You are great with knowledge. Bravo my friend.
Gr8 work bro. Wanted to ask if it's possible to add alexa to this
Very nice video...
Salio de una en W10 21H2 👏👏
running Raspbian via VM 👍 given the shortage/out of stock of Raspberry Pi is just not ending! Tks brother
It's really dope, need that mirror for me too 😅🔥🔥
Now you know how to build it! 😁
🤩 great work bro
Well done. Enjoyed the build.
Very informative DIY.. Keep it up! 🤘🏼
More to come!
Amazing!!...🙌🙌🙌
can you teach how to control it via echo dot or any other stuff like that ......
Check out this module to control it via Google assistant- github.com/gauravsacc/MMM-GoogleAssistant
Amazing video! Will the Raspberry 4 that you have mentioned in the description work for this build?
Yes, it definitely will. 😄
Amazing work Sam 🙌🙌🙌
Hello sir
Can u please tell how to connect rasberry pi 3 to the monitor?
Is that just regular glass or did you use a two way mirror? Thank you!
Hey Chris, that's a two way mirror which I used for the build.
Thank you! Great work
Why is everyone after Raspberry pi, can’t you use a smart box and connect it to the display through HDMI.. for android box several apps are readily available instead of tweaking raspberry??
Please help why raspberry is better or android box is better?
Hi,
I tried it. But the process is buggy for me. I am on dell Inspiron 3542 i3 4th generation.
Can you tell me what exactly is the issue you are having?
1)did you remove bezels from the monitor
2) what if my monitor is smaller than the frame. how to make sure it fits in there?
Hey Aditya!
So I had stripped down the outer plastic of the monitor, but the internal metal bezels were non removable, so I just painted them black so they would not be visible through the other side
If your monitor is smaller than the frame, then you can build some supports out of wood and then fix them to the inside of the frame. Although I would recommend that you build your frame itself according to the monitor dimensions
Hope this helps.
code is not running properly and show error and npm is not installing
Would you me
Hey bro plz I want a help plz reply, I want to submit my project today I have setup all the magic mirror config, but after shuting down the comp how to start again the magic mirror????
Awesome. So the computer need to be always on if we want to use smart mirror? Same question if using raspberry pi, is it has to be always on, or we have to turn the Pi on to use the smart mirror and then shut it down when we don't use it? Thank you.
Hello,
Yes, your computer needs to be always on when you need to use the smart mirror, but you can setup a media pc for this and schedule power on /shutdown for the same. You can also use task scheduler in windows 10 to automatically open vmware workstation when the pc is booted up.
For raspberry pi, you can use a smart switch such as sonoff to schedule it's power on/off.
Op dada 👍🏻❤️
Remember me myself shravan dhavale 😂👍🏻❤️
Yes, totally 😁✌🏻
Pls upload videos 🙏🏻
There is no id for Gujarat india... For weather module
Great stuff!

@@spindletech358 thank you sir i got it
How much cost it took for you
you may want to update the script please...step 1 no longer relevant...even after I use the most current nodesource can't pass beyond point number 4 npm install. Tried the alternative "npm not found" error but no luck. Can you please help? Tks
Mirror derails bro?
Awesome 👍
You don't need a virtual machine/raspberry pi os to run Magic mirror in windows. Its design with Nodejs and can work very well in windows. It's built with electron and run fine without much change in windows directly.
Can you help me plz
From where did you got those glass mirror ? Local shop or online?
how should i change display to be portrait automatically when the raspberry PI boots, as i have build everything but unable to change the display to be potrait, i tried doing it by sudo nano /boot/config.txt and adding a line display_rotate=1 but evrything remains the same, please assist
Will make it soon

Thank you
Can you explain a little about glass?
Hello Bhavya,
The glass I have used for the build is a one way glass which is transparent on one side and reflective on the other side.
If some dark or black material like a cloth is placed on the transparent side, the other side acts just like a normal mirror.
This type of glass is easily available from local mirror and glass shops, and they will even cut the glass to your required dimensions.
Hope that helps.
🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Need some help. I cannot cut and paste into the terminal.
Use Ctrl+Shift+V
How do you input the code into the smart mirror?
Hey Thomas,
I don't really understand what you are referring to, do you want to know what device I used or anything else?
Bro small help I want to interest on this will u explain or I can do bro will u help me pls
Pls help bro
Other youtubers are not explaining like u so thats why I asked help bro pls help me
Will a cheap 2000-2500rs monitor work for it
Yes, but make sure it has sufficient brightness and also check the size of the monitor before constructing the frame.
@@spindletech358 okay thanks
@@spindletech358 can you please tell me one more project idea that I could work on and would be super amazing please recommend me something..
so we basicaly dont need two way mirror yeah!!
💯🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥
Cost for built?
Around 800 rupees for the assembly excluding the monitor and raspberry pi.
