# infinity-mirror
Example code for a smart infinity mirror!
Okay, so first of all, here's some credits:
- Thanks to the people on the Arduino fourm! You've helped my a lot.
- Thanks for HelTec's [OLED display API docs](https://github.com/HelTecAutomation/Heltec_ESP32/blob/master/src/oled/API.md), and the [rest of their library](https://github.com/HelTecAutomation/Heltec_ESP32/).
- Thanks to [simple-weather-card](https://github.com/kalkih/simple-weather-card). Your icons gave me the inspiration for the patterns, and your source gave me a really good mapping.
- Thanks to the [World Time API](https://worldtimeapi.org/) for the API.
- Thanks to [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/), of course!
- Thanks to [Dave's Garage](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNzszbnvQeFzObW0ghk0Ckw) and [this post from him](https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugzhaf4slmPXC9Kkzo54AaABCQ).
And here's the fourm discussion: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/212410?u=ktibow
Okay, now for some pictures:
Now let's go to the parts.
1. (Only tested on) [HelTec Wifi Kit 32](https://heltec.org/project/wifi-kit-32/)
2. [Any USB cable](https://www.amazon.com/USB-Cables/b?node=464394)
3. [Any breadboard](https://www.amazon.com/breadboard/s?k=breadboard)
4. [Any couple male-to-male jumper wires](http://adafru.it/759)
5. (Only tested on) [LED strip](https://www.btf-lighting.com/products/ws2812b-led-pixel-strip-30-60-74-96-100-144-pixels-leds-m?variant=25586938511460)
6. (Only tested on) [Infinity mirror to hack](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LF4YMCZ)
Okay, let's do this.
## Pry apart the infinity mirror
### Bottom
1. First, remove the battery base. Do that by pushing apart the bottom part, and while you do that, pull away the battery holder.
2. Disconnect all of the wires. Just pull/chop them off.
3. Push out the stuff. You might need to push on some stuff really hard in order to push out the switch and power plug.
4. Make the hole between the base and top bigger for the light strip connector.
Note: Don't put the battery base back on, not even later.
### Middle
1. Pry off the coverings. The mirror is made of 3 parts, the middle, and the two covers. Pry off the glue.
2. Pull off one of the mirrors. Be very gentle, or you'll have a scratched-up mirror like I do.
3. Detach the provided light strip. Just pull off the adhesive.
## Cut and place the light strip
1. Place the light strip around the mirror.
2. Find which side is the input and output of the LED strip, and cut off any excess. It's okay to cut off the other connector, too.
3. Count the number of LEDs in the strip.
4. Peel off the adhesive backing and place the light strip. Make sure to put the connector through the hole you made earlier.
5. Route the connector through the light switch hole.
Yahoo! You've done most of the hardware.
## Set up the connections
1. Find your WiFi Kit 32.
2. Place it in the middle of your breadboard.
3. If the header's aren't soldered on yet, solder them on now.
4. Put one wire at pin 5. Put the other two at 5V and GND.
5. Put the pin 5 wire to the middle, green wire of the connector.
6. Put the 5V wire to the red wire of the connector, and the GND wire to the white wire of the connector.
## Set up Home Assistant
1. Add the Local IP integration using the GUI.
2. Add these `input_number` helpers:

- Maximum length: 10
- Leave everything else
5. Add this stuff to your `configuration.yaml` (replace `weather.kbfi_hourly` with your weather sensor):
```yaml
light:
- platform: template
lights:
infinity_mirror:
friendly_name: Infinity Mirror
value_template: '{{is_state(''input_text.mirror_status'', ''on'')}}'
level_template: '{{((states(''input_number.mirror_brightness'') | int - 10) / 68 * 100) | int}}'
color_template: '({{(states(''input_number.hue'') | int / 255 * 360) | int}}, {{(states(''input_number.saturation'') | int / 255 * 100) | int}})'
turn_on:
service: input_text.set_value
data:
entity_id: input_text.mirror_status
value: 'on'
turn_off:
service: input_text.set_value
data:
entity_id: input_text.mirror_status
value: 'off'
set_level:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.mirror_brightness
value: '{{(brightness | int / 100 * 68 + 10) | int}}'
set_color:
- service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
value: "{{(h | int / 360 * 255) | int}}"
entity_id: input_number.hue
- service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
value: "{{(s | int / 100 * 255) | int}}"
entity_id: input_number.saturation
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
mtms:
value_template: '{{states(''weather.kbfi_hourly'')}}|{{states(''input_text.mirror_status'')}}|{{states(''input_number.mirror_brightness'')}}|{{states(''input_number.hue'')}}|{{states(''input_number.saturation'')}}|{{states(''input_select.mirror_mode'')}}|{{states(''sun.sun'')}}|{{states(''input_select.mirror_pattern'')}}|{{states(''input_select.mirror_force_weather'')}}'
shell_command:
update_mirror: '/usr/bin/curl -d "info={{states(''sensor.mtms'')}}" "http://192.168.1.97/collect"'
```
6. Restart Home Assistant
7. UI control option #1 (requires `slider-entity-row`, `rgb-light-card`):
```yaml
entities:
- entity: light.infinity_mirror
full_row: true
toggle: true
type: 'custom:slider-entity-row'
- colors:
- hs_color:
- 315
- 85
icon_color: 'hsl(315, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 0
- 77
icon_color: 'hsl(0, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 40
- 85
icon_color: 'hsl(40, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 99
- 85
icon_color: 'hsl(99, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 140
- 85
icon_color: 'hsl(140, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 180
- 80
icon_color: 'hsl(180, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 215
- 80
icon_color: 'hsl(215, 100%, 75%)'
- hs_color:
- 270
- 80
icon_color: 'hsl(270, 100%, 75%)'
entity: light.infinity_mirror
justify: center
size: 35
type: 'custom:rgb-light-card'
show_header_toggle: false
type: entities
```
8. UI control option #2 with `light-entity-card`:
```yaml
entities:
- entity: light.infinity_mirror
- brightness: true
brightness_icon: weather-sunny
child_card: true
color_picker: true
color_temp: true
color_wheel: true
consolidate_entities: false
entity: light.infinity_mirror
full_width_sliders: false
hide_header: true
persist_features: false
shorten_cards: true
show_slider_percent: true
smooth_color_wheel: false
temperature_icon: thermometer
type: 'custom:light-entity-card'
white_icon: file-word-box
white_value: true
- entity: input_select.mirror_mode
- entity: input_select.mirror_pattern
- entity: input_select.mirror_force_weather
show_header_toggle: false
title: Infinity mirror
type: entities
```
9. And add this automation too, so HA can tell the mirror when anything changes:
```yaml
- id: 'let_mirror_know_when_status_changes'
alias: Let mirror know when anything changes
description: ''
trigger:
- entity_id: sensor.mtms
platform: state
condition: []
action:
- data: {}
service: shell_command.update_mirror
```
## Set up your environment and upload
1. Make sure the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) is installed, and set up for HelTec's board. [Here's HelTec's guide.](https://heltec-automation-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/esp32+arduino/quick_start.html#via-arduino-board-manager)
2. Download [the zip](https://github.com/KTibow/infinity-mirror/archive/master.zip), unzip it, and open `mirror.ino` in `mirror`.
3. Open `token.h` and change the stuff, and open `mirror.ino` and change the number of LEDS. You might also need to change your gateway, subnet, and DNS IP addresses in `setup.h`.
4. Upload it!
## You're done!
Let me know if you have any problems [in an issue](https://github.com/KTibow/infinity-mirror/issues/new). BTW: You can upload via a custom OTA web server with [these instructions](https://github.com/KTibow/esp32-ota#upload-sketch), so you don't have to physically plug it in to your computer as long as it has power.
