Hey everyone! I wanted to share a fun and easy DIY project I recently completed—a smart mirror using the openHAB Android app. It’s been a fantastic addition to my daily routine, and I thought I’d walk through the process in case anyone else is interested in trying something similar.First off, I purchased a simple picture frame from IKEA, which I then modified by replacing the glass with a magic mirror. This was surprisingly straightforward and affordable, costing me around €60 online. The magic mirror itself is a standard 50x50 cm model, which I found to be more than adequate for my needs.Next, I mounted an Android tablet behind the mirror. I chose a tablet because it’s slim, easy to mount, and has a good-sized screen. The setup was quite simple: I just installed the openHAB Android app and configured it to display the necessary information.The real magic happens with the openHAB app’s screensaver feature. I enabled this in the tablet’s settings and set it up to display a combination of the current time, weather, and some custom information pulled from my openHAB setup. I used a rule to compile this data into a single string, which the screensaver then displays. I even added some basic HTML styling to make it look neat, like using <small> tags for the weather info.What’s great about this project is how minimal it is. There’s no need for additional software or complex configurations beyond installing the app and writing a simple rule. It’s all contained within the tablet and the openHAB setup, which means there’s very little maintenance involved.Since setting it up, I’ve been absolutely thrilled with how it’s integrated into my morning routine. The mirror displays the current time, weather, and any important updates from my smart home setup, all without me having to lift a finger. It’s the perfect way to start the day!If anyone else is thinking about building a smart mirror, I’d highly recommend giving this method a try. It’s budget-friendly, easy to assemble, and leverages the powerful openHAB ecosystem to deliver a truly personalized experience. Plus, it’s incredibly satisfying to see your smart home come together in such a visible and functional way.Happy building, and feel free to share your own smart mirror setups or DIY projects in the comments—I’d love to see what everyone else is up to!
