PIR sensor behind glass?
-
@Nususu I would go online and lookup ‘wiring pir sensor raspberry pi’ there are TONS of things out there. Your issue could be one of any or a combination of things… I did that using a PIR sensor so I have no idea how it would act with microwave sensors… good I’m hoping because I want to get some… BUT let me know if you need anymore help, not that I helped you now but I will do what I can!

@cowboysdude thanks, I’ll check that out and let you know how it goes!

@cowboysdude I got it working using this code:
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor
With this code, I’ve got a problem where the screen only stays on for about 1 second after motion detection. Now I need to modify the code somehow to allow me to tell the mirror to stay on for a set amount of time after detecting motion, i.e. only go dark once no motion has been detected for x seconds. Problem is I don’t know where to start with that. Will let you know if I figure anything out. Any ideas?

@Nususu try adding the powerSaving to your config…
{ module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', config: { powerSaving: false } }See what that does :) PLUS there’s also an adjustment on your PIR sensor itself… which one and I don’t know … do a google search for adjustments :)

@Nususu - same here
Perhaps, with a resistor?
-
@Aly I found documentation for the sensor that a resistor would indeed solve the issue here. I can set the delay up to 200 seconds with a 250k resistor, so I ordered one and will report back how it went.
-
@Nususu - great !!
Can you post the doc. ?
-
@Aly I misspoke, shouldn’t have called it documentation. Rather, it was this picture:
Which appears to be a translation from the Chinese original picture.
-
so if we remove the R6 resistor the delay would be 30s ?
