The Smart Mirror uses MagicMirror Ⓒ open source modular smart mirror platform and highly customizable. Add any info modules you may want.
The center of this application runs off of a Raspberry Pi - a Linux/Unix based microcomputer. Requires WiFi and connection to a LCD output display.
Configure your modules to connect and be controlled by your Alexa. This includes Calendar modification, music selection, time and weather readout and much more.
The Mirror consists of Two-Way glass, an LCD Screen and a RaspberryPi to handle the application. This mirror has an informational hub that projects through the glass to give you customized features. These include: Time and Calendar, Weather, Calendar updates and many more modules.
