    @MadScientist is your pir visible near your mirror?as it wouldn’t work behind the mirror.

    @yep_DD are you talking about the rcwl0516? I have read that using a low value resistor can decrease the range of detection up to 5cm. Trouble is I don’t where to connect the additional resistor and the low value of it too.

      I have it incorporated in the frame. I drilled a 2 or 3mm hole in the front of the frame and a 8mm hole from the back which only goes half way through. The 8mm are perfect to mount the PIR sensor without the lense. The mirror only activates when you are directly in front of it and it’s hardly visible.

              @yep_DD

              What mirror thickness did you choose? 4mm or 6mm? And why?

                @secdude I chose 4mm glas because it is already heavy enough to mount the mirror like that.

                  @Adrien Do you have already cut the wires of the backlight? Does it work now without HDMI logo? Whats the delay?

                    @flo actually I have not, I power the monitor via my relay and my presence dedection makes me never see the logo so so far there was no need to do that

                      @yep_DD So you would see the logo if you only rely on the PIR? Can you share a picture of the final mirror design? I really like your frame and thinking of buying one myself.
