      Hey Guys,
      i’m basically done with my first mirror (hooray!). I put a lot of work in it and now one important thing doesnt seem to work.
      I’m using the MMM-MotionDetector Module with a Rpi Cam to save some energy.
      Well when i assembled the tech stuff without a mirror my system seemed to work as i wanted to.
      Since i assembled it all together the Module doesnt seem to consider my images as relevant.
      I used

      raspistill -0 
      

      to check if my camera isnt able to peek through the mirror.
      Turns out that i see the other side but i’d consider it dark. You can still see everything on the image tho.

      I turned off the red camera light, i thought this might dazzle the camera. But this doesnt help as well.

      I already tried to config my threshold=1 but this doesnt seem to help as well.
      When i use e.g. a flashlight and hold it right onto the camera the module gets a high score and the monitor is turning on again.

      Do you have any idea how i could get it to work properly?

      Sorry, this is my first post. If any Information is missing let me know.

      Thanks in advance!
      Kind regards from Germany.
