    Do you use a PIR sensor? How do you hide it?

      I could use mine because it worked through the prick wall behind the mirror.

        Hide it? Why it goes in it’s own enclosure of course? :)

          mine is connected to an Arduino micro 3.3V version and this one is controlling a simple relais switching the monitor inside the mirror. But as @MadScientist already mentioned you can also hook it up to the Raspberry Pi since It works perfectly with MMM-PIR-Sensor.

            Yeah, that’s my understanding. I can’t find the post but it was here on this site. A guy did some experiments to find the smallest size hole his PIR sensor actually required. He tried 1mm, 2mm and 4mm(?). He said it worked just fine with a 2mm hole.

              Hi, I’ve been busy with this problem for a long time until I found the solution. And it’s called RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor. Guys, forget PIR sensor, the RCWL-0516 you can completely obstruct in the frame behind the mirror. It works perfectly with paviro / MMM PIR sensor. You get 5 pieces for 8 € on Amazon. I hope I could help you. And forgive me my bad English. Regards
