@paviro i’m waiting for the jumper wires so i can connect and try the module.
@prototype0815 There are several options, and i was just wondering which one you were using.
-
@paviro what is the exact identity number of the relay you are using?
-
I am not a home right now so no idea, sorry :/ but it should not really matter :)
-
That casing you have for the PIR, made it yourself or how do I get one? :)
-
@MrH I’m sorry for the late reply. There’s a funny story behind xD I tried to switch off the whole mirror with a timeclock, but after I’ve seen that it needs only a negligible amount of power if the raspi turned off the HDMI, I used the backcover of the timeclock to build a case for the PIR sensor xD

These days I´m trying to solve the “HDMI-signal lost” problem of my monitor.
Each time, the RasPi disables his HDMI output after 60 seconds of no motion detection, the monitor shows up a big blue screen with “HDMI Signal lost” on it. Maybe it’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the monitor. Nethertheless it’s still a big bug of my MagicMirror.
What I’m looking for is a workaround to dim the brightness of the monitor or rather of the HDMI output.
-
You could try to find out if your monitor supports CEC commands and use libcec to force your monitor going to standby instead. Downside is, that the screen takes longer to turn back on.

This is a fantastic looking mirror! Nice job!
What housing is that for the PIR sensor? I’m looking for options to mount mine cleanly but I’m not having much luck.
-
@Atheose Ahh… I can help you with that! it’s a homebuildt housing made from the backcover of a timelock device… obviously ;)
-
@MrH Ahh darn! I was hoping for a ridiculously-convenient box I could buy on Amazon.
So you cut the hole in the plastic yourself?
