2. Self-hosted version: Magic Mirror
Magic Mirror is an open-source modular smart mirror platform with a large number of community-developed modules. The system was built primarily for Raspberry Pi hardware that you can easily stash behind your “magic mirror” or in fact any other LCD screen. The community around Magic Mirror is really what makes this project interesting. You can find all types of modules from pretty standard integrations all the way to very niche use cases:
- Camera feed
- Gmail feed
- Soccer live scores
- Public transportation schedule
- Glucose meter readings
- Jeopardy questions
You still have to follow some basic template rules, but clearly this option provides a lot more freedom than DAKBoard if you are willing to invest the time upfront. Take a look at the video below for more ideas.
