Mirror No°1 - Girlfriends birthday present

@prototype0815 Is the PIR sensor working with the module of @paviro or with a Python script?

@Wilco89 I bought a usually PIR sensor at Amazon for arduino. This one is working with a python script. What kind of module are you talking about?

Ah Ok, this “module” doesn’t do anything other than my PIR sensor. In addition, I can’t find any relays which is able to switch enough ampere for my 24" display.

Disabling the HDMI output of the RasPi3 is very easy. Give this a try…

My module does that too if you don’t have a relay :)

@paviro i’m waiting for the jumper wires so i can connect and try the module.

@prototype0815 There are several options, and i was just wondering which one you were using.

@paviro what is the exact identity number of the relay you are using?

I am not a home right now so no idea, sorry :/ but it should not really matter :)

That casing you have for the PIR, made it yourself or how do I get one? :)

@MrH I’m sorry for the late reply. There’s a funny story behind xD I tried to switch off the whole mirror with a timeclock, but after I’ve seen that it needs only a negligible amount of power if the raspi turned off the HDMI, I used the backcover of the timeclock to build a case for the PIR sensor xD
