@MichMich that‘s excellent! Thanks so much!

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@devmil I have the same mirror, but 4mm thick, and it works really well. Thickness shouldn’t be an issue, because the sensor is easily able to detect motions in adjacent rooms separated by stone walls. I‘d suggest to increase slightly the sensitivity by increasing the trimmer value.
Further check the soldering joints between trimmer and sensor. Maybe they need to be reworked so that the solder provides a proper connection.

You made my day, guys! 🤣

RE: MMM-ioBroker - on/off instead true/false
@LeonMentor You’ll have to script the CCU for that. @falke69 has recently posted, how he solved that.
See this post. -
RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
Hmmm…that’s strange.
Here is my config for MMM-Pir-Sensor I use://---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- { module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', config: { sensorPin: 4, powerSavingDelay: 150, // (seconds) how long the monitor will be turned on } }, //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is the wiring of the sensor with the GPIO, which corresponds to the above config. ‘sensorPin: 4’ corresponds to GPIO_4 (brown cable)

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@bachoo786 there exist alternative libs like piGPIO or GPIOzero, but I have no experience with them. Why not try MMM-PIR-Sensor? It is easy to install and to configure and works out of the box with the RCWL-0516.

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@bachoo786 First re-check if the sensor is cabled correctly to the GPIO as described in my tutorial. Further check if the resistor is soldered correctly to the sensor. Maybe there is a “cold soldering joint”. Sounds trivial, but the devil is a squirrel (old german saying )
Then, extend the detection range to the max, to check if the sensor is generally OK (200 Ohms) and re-run @cowboysdude script. If this works, then reduce the resistor step by step until you reach the desired detection range. Theoretically 80 Ohms should provide a range of 40-50 cm, but from my experience this may vary strongly as the resistor value does not correspond linearly to the detection range. -
RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@bachoo786 yes, you can also use pin 1 and 2.
An example:
The max value of the resistor (Rmax) is between pin 1 and 3.
Between pin 1 and 2 is the restitor value R1, and
between pin 2 and 3 is the resistor value R2.Rmax = R1 + R2. (or R1=Rmax - R2, resp, R2=Rmax - R1)
Thus, you can use both options (R1 pin 1/2 or R2 pin 2/3).

RE: Wip vertical standing mirror
@dvbit congrats to that MM (Monster Mirror 😉) and a happy new year! Happy to see that you use the RCWL😁
