From your tests what is the minimum distance that the hand must have from the sensor?

the doc for the sensor he linked says

Effective recognition distance 5cm-15cm
(without obstruction of case or cover)

If so, it is very little!

I just have to try!

@MMRIZE If instead you took the sensor without a cover how did you think of attaching it to the frame? Do you leave the sensor naked or cover it with a self made cover?

At this moment, I don’t have the real implementation to show,
But what I tried was;
Dig a hole then Implant the sensor in the frame. This gesture sensor has a short distance, but fortunately, through thin plastic/acryl/wood/paper/glass, it works. It detects changes in magnetic fields so except for metal/mirror(metal coated) it will work.
My first intention was to cover the hole with small cardboard paper, then paint it black (I prefer a black framed mirror), But I lost interest at the finish stage, so I left it naked. :D

Hi @MMRIZE unfortunately behind wood, plastic or plexiglass the sensor does not work … it’s a big problem!
Do you know by chance if this sensor has a SW adjustment (I don’t see any trimmer on the PCB …)?

thanks

By my test, under 5mm thick plastic or wood panel it works. But there is no s/w fixture about it.

I did several tests and even a piece of paper in front of it doesn’t work … it must be completely free …

I should try the glass …
