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.<br />
I’m using the <a href="https://github.com/rejas/MMM-MotionDetector" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">MMM-MotionDetector</a> Module with a Rpi Cam to save some energy.<br />
Well when i assembled the tech stuff without a mirror my system seemed to work as i wanted to.<br />
Since i assembled it all together the Module doesnt seem to consider my images as relevant.<br />
I used</p>
<pre><code>raspistill -0 
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">to check if my camera isnt able to peek through the mirror.<br />
Turns out that i see the other side but i’d consider it dark. You can still see everything on the image tho.</p>
<p dir="auto">I turned off the red camera light, i thought this might dazzle the camera. But this doesnt help as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">I already tried to config my threshold=1 but this doesnt seem to help as well.<br />
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.</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you have any idea how i could get it to work properly?</p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry, this is my first post. If any Information is missing let me know.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance!<br />
Kind regards from Germany.</p>
