      @bibi It’s on hold, the big drawback is that I haven’t included space for any sensor in the frame, so any addon would “stick out” and look wonky.
      So maybe I’ll just add some physical buttons and make a tree style menu instead.

          I’m not sure whether it is compatible with APDS-9960, but I made a module for GroveGesture Sensor(PAJ7620u2 compatible)

            no idea as well… waiting on my sensor APDS… once received, i’ll test with your module :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

              Hi,
              I’ve the PAJ7620u2 one.
              I’m experiencing some stability issue with it (it always stops working after some minutes) but overall it’s great. I will post about the stability issue later on.

              I’m interested into how you guys are using the sensor in a "beautiful way).
              Before buying it, I thought I could cover it with some “speaker fabric” but it’s not working neither…

              Do you have some smart ideas on your side on how to hide it?

              Regards

                @bolish i thought about it meantimes i am waiting for delivery… i was thinking to make a kind of slot in one of the wooden frame side, just enough to make so that the wood layer is so thin that i hope it will let pass the gesture but it will be difficult to do as my mirror is already build now and i can’s say for now if it will work. if you come up with another idea… feel free to share :)

                  I’ve already made some trials with 1mm thin wood. Forget about it.
                  You will find the product data sheet with some recommandation at the bottom of below page :
                  link text

                  I’ve tried behing 2mm wood, with a hole (3mm diameter), it works fine. Not so ugly…

                  Let’s see.

                  Regards

                    @bolish that’s exactly what i was thinking but thx for the recommendations… i will even not try an attempt then. i wanted smt “beautiful” as you mentioned but without seeing the sensor…
                    hmm i’ll think about smt or maybe i’ll check another solution as voice command… with jarvis

                      Did you ever get the APDS-9960 working with MM? I happen to have one, would keep me from ordering something else.
