UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.

Hello everybody,
I’m taking the path of the classic infrared PIR sensor.
I made two shells that can be attached under the two arms of the lamps above the mirrors.
Here still in the assembly / painting phase:
I’m gonna give a nice coat of chrome today and we should be there. :-)

@mickyvi That’s a totally awsome solution! Really cool!

@fozi
Thanks, the compliments from such experienced people are always very welcome !! -

Thank you for this awesome solution! I just got mine up and running with MMM-PIR-Sensor. I was wondering if any of you have got this microwave sensor to also work with MMM-NearCompliments? I was thinking since it was also inspired by PIR sensor, I could get it to work, but no luck yet.

hello,
i tried this with the microwave sensor, but im out of ideas. i get wrong positives every minute. (i check every 5 sec).
i added also the ferrite, tried another raspberry, different of these sensors (bought a 5 pack) and placed it in a different room. anyone got any ideas what else i could try?
or maybe similar microwave sensors i could try?any help would be great, tyvm

Did you try and limit the range as described in beginning of this thread? For me option 2 helped to limit oversensitivity.

@uros76
the range is not the problem. i get positives when nothing is moving near it -
@Lipax this sensor is very sensitive and catches any movement 360 around from several meters away. I had same problem… If you don’t dial down the sensitivity-range you will keep getting false positives.
-
@Lipax try dialing down the sensitivity, it’s probably picking up dust or something small you can’t see.
-
thanks for the help, but i doubt its some kind of movement since its exactly every minute. i tried a different room and its the same.
