[kruemel]

Thanks :)
Its 12% and 4mm thick

They have 1, 12, 20, 30 and 40%

Thank you very much. I saw they are also in Germany. I will call them up tomorrow and ask for prices for the mirror and for shipping. If it’s really that cheap I will order one with 12% and with 20% transmission and see which one fits best.

How far does your radar detector detect through the glass?

[bhepler]

Excellent work. That looks great!

[kruemel]

@maxbachmann
Its in the middle behind the thick wood and it detects at least 4m. (would be more if there would be no wood, just the glass :-)
Due to the position across from my wardrobe thats fine but if the range is too faar for detection it would be possible to reduce it with a resistor.

great job, looks great full height!

Nice work, i see you used a radar sensor.
How and where exactly did you attach this?

[Arjen]

Very nice mirror. Looks great.
I am also curious about the prices of the mirror and shipping costs.

FYI: Glastroesch.de doesn’t ship their mirrors. They also do not directly sell to private people but give you a contact that does. Apparently they are around Ulm (for those that live close enough).

Hi kruemel,

good job… looks very professional.
Since I’m using the same RCWL0516 motion sensor I have also some questions:

• How did you mount it that it is working through the glass?
  I tried id with my Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm but there was no detection trough the glass at all.
• Maybe you can share some pictures especially of the motion sensor?

Thanks, onkelbobby

which router bits did you use on the 2x4s?

[kruemel]

Ah sorry i did not get any notifications about new posts :-)
I will answer all the questions this week

Sorry i dont get your point ^^
Do you mean this, maybe?

[kruemel]

@onkelbobby Hi, thank you :-)

I just mounted the sensor on a piece of wood behind the glass (to reduce the range a little bit without a tresistor) instead of directly behind the glass.

If you need i can make a picture but i think the illustration should do the job ;-)

[jersam]

@kruemel which bits did you use to cut the wood.

Looks like you started with a 2x4, cut into a L shape with a ledge, put a smaller strip of wood to hold the mirror and display in.

its nicely done so i was curious.

I just picked up a table saw so i can do a datto cut in wood.

@kruemel
thanks… no need to take pictures…
I’m just wondering why my sensor is no working trough the glass wood combination (Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm + plywood 5mm)

Anyway, I found another way to mount it almost invisible.

[teegray1124]

does your myweather module still work?

[kruemel]

@teegray1124 Yes but i think you mean the “rainfall” amount, when you ask like this ^^
I noticed that it states “nullmm” instead of a number, since a couple weeks.

[kruemel]

@jersam Aaaah, now i get your point :D

I started with 2

Douglas Wood 4,5 cm x 200 cm x 7 cm

Cut in the half and to my needed length.
Get rid of the wood i dont need with a wood milling, like this:

…with two different positions to get a “stairway” :-)
