Build a DIGITAL MAGIC MIRROR - Full Tutorial

Build your own Digital Magic Mirror - with Hue, Spotify, Tesla, Fortnite, Calendar, Weather, and many more integrations!
This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇

This Magic Mirror project has simplified my life whilst remaining hidden behind an inconspicuously simple mirror. In the morning the integrated motion sensor automatically turns on the information display and instantly shows me my calendar, local weather, news, and charge level of the family car.

Made from low cost builders yard pine wood and super strong Perspex Acrylic sheet (from Trent Plastic here in the UK), the mirror is easy to build. The monitor was bought from Gumtree and can be as little or as large as you like. The full length integrated touch lights also ensures the mirror is great for checking your outfit in before heading out for the day / night.

Very few DIYers take their projects to this level because it is very difficult, I encountered this in my project. It’s very cool that you make such high-quality DIY products.

I love the gentle walk-through. Lewis explains everything step-by-step and I like the thought process of how he seen issues and how to get round them. I'm very impressed.

A lot of really inspired ideas here, in particular I love the PIR to turn the display on/off. Great project & tutorial!

OMG! This seems like a stunning project and I would like to express my respect to the creator - I made my own resin desk for my partner, and that was more of an art project than a technical one, but it was already something I had to put me entire heart into. So I am truly impressed and in awe of what you have created :) I also feel like with the right tools, I could also achieve this - and that's the biggest possible compliment for someone who makes DIY videos :)
Thank you!

I have watched a bunch of these digital mirror videos. This one looks the best and I do believe I could do it. Ty for the work

[onecarwood]

I tried the sheet mirror and I can say you absolutely need the smoother with the piece of cloth it scratches incredibly easy.

[leotachi]

I had no idea you could make such a high quality product, I'm really surprised!
In fact, we specialize in producing this kind of waterproof magic mirror, but you DIYed it, which is really cool!😮

Thank you for sharing. This project has been on my bucket list for 5 years, but I still haven't been able to start it due to lack of access to a proper workshop. I wanted to create something very light and transportable in a rugged case.

I love your projects and how clearly you present them. Well done!

[tyrantrex]

I've always used multitouch foil for mirrors and coffee tables. Also used mini PCs instead of Raspberry Pi too. More responsive and more capable, but of course more expensive. This really is INCREDIBLY clean and professional. Beautiful project.

Thank you so much! This is the tutorial I had been waiting for a long time. So well organized and the details were thought out as if you were wanting to make the video you would want to watch. Awesome work! Please make more.

Fantastic project, I fit vinyl for a living and your guide for the mirror covers the basics well enough.

[bander]
