      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

              @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 ;-)

                @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.

                  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 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.

                        @jersam Aaaah, now i get your point :D

                        I started with 2

                        Douglas Wood 4,5 cm x 200 cm x 7 cm
                        https://www.obi.ch/terrassendielen/unterkonstruktion-douglasie-4-5-cm-x-200-cm-x-7-cm/p/3434313

                        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” :-)
