Kiosk view shows the Home Assistant dashboard and OpenCV is used for Face Recognition. Home assistant is installed in a docker container on the raspberry pi. Therefore the only wire leaving the mirror is the power cord which in this case I was able to hide behind the mirror. Furthermore it obviously supports Zigbee and communicates over Wifi. Upon face recognitions the LED shortly turns green or red when no face is recognized. The LED is a nice touch combined with power on/off and face recognition: It lights up when the screen is turned on over CEC and fades out when it turns off (base don whether somebody is in the room or not, to safe power). In front of the glass there is an infrared frame delivering the touchscreen functionality.
CONTROLLING MAGIC MIRROR RASPBERRY PI TV
An old 40 inch Samsung TV functions as the screen which is al put away nicely behind a two way mirror. It uses a raspberry pi 4B with pi camera to power the magic mirror. I also included a Chromecast so I have a platform to view my holiday after movies right from the mirror. It addition to the main dashboard I also have a dedicated dashboard for energy data, shows and movies and an almost empty one for mirror view. In addition in supports face recognition to show personalized data from the person standing in front of the mirror and hide personal data from “unknown” viewers. Also displaying information like weather, newly downloaded or ready to view shows and movies, news and calendar. Just finished my 40 inch Magic Mirror based on Home Assistant Frontend to control all devices like lights and vacuum with touchscreen.
