Description
>>> How to make a Smart Mirror that works as a News, Weather, time, and Date feed using Raspberry Pi in this Step By Step guide <<<
Welcome to this course.
In this course, we provide detailed instructions on how to make an easy Raspberry Pi powered home smart mirror.
A smart mirror displays applications so that you can check the weather, local news, etc., while you are getting ready in the morning. It's also modular, so you can easily move it around or hang it on the wall if you like. We are introducing a basic application that you can run on the smart mirror, but it's totally customizable if you want to write some of your own code.
You can use a Raspberry Pi 3, A, B+, or any other Pi Module.
Introduction:
What if you could see the time, weather forecast, and your morning news headlines just by looking in the mirror? A Smart Mirror would show you all of this information on a screen embedded in your bathroom mirror. This is possible with a Raspberry Pi mounted to the back of the mirror. This tutorial will cover how to do this project for someone with no previous programming knowledge.
Parts: What do you need to make a smart mirror?
Step 1: Hook up the mirror
Step 2: Install the webcam for video chat
Step 3: Connect to Wi-Fi
The word "smart" comes from the fact that this mirror helps you in a smart way. You won't just see yourself; you will also see the weather in your area, the date and time, in addition to the latest news depending on your location. You can change the display language easily using a customization file that we provide.
Facts about the course:
Allows you to customize it with your own information, so you can set the mirror to display anything and everything in your life, such as commute time, dinner time, meeting times.
Turning your Raspberry Pi into a Smart Mirror will make it much more interesting and eye-catching. You can set up the mirror with all your personalized info, which includes the current date, desired temperature, and what type of day you're having.
The course is very detailed and concise, making it easy to learn how to use Raspberry Pi.
Why you should take this course?
You'll learn how to calibrate your Raspberry Pi monitor so it automatically adjusts for various conditions.
Learn how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a smart mirror that displays the current time, weather, and other random trivia.
This course will teach you how to build a Smart Mirror.
This course contains detailed, step-by-step instructions to build a smart mirror with Raspberry Pi and other easy-to-find hardware.
You'll learn how to put together a working electronic device from scratch and incorporate Arduino programming into your projects.
Conclusion: Hopefully, this course will inspire you to use your Raspberry Pi and teach you how to create your very own smart mirror.
