Mirror Weather Display

This project uses the ESP32 WiFi module to pull weather data from the open weather maps API to display temperature, weather conditions and the local time.

A piece of laser cut acrylic features a 2-way mirrored film so you can see the display through the reflections. 

Interactive IoT

Wave your hand (or paw) in front of the PyPortal light sensor to display weather conditions, temperature and local time magically inside a mirror!

The display automatically turns off after a few seconds, turning it back into a desktop mirror, the effect is whimsical!
