@mickyvi as the last option maybe install the sensor on top or bottom of the mirror frame. Hide it in a small enclosure (wooden or hard paper or 3D printed extension to the frame) and paint the same color as the frame. If done nicely it won’t even look that bad. And it will for sure work :)

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@mickyvi that is sad to hear. The glass you are using must have some special coating that prevents signal go through.
Did you try to rotate the sensor? I know these sensors are sensing around 360degree but I think the actual antenna is stronger on one side.
Also, what’s the distance from mirrir you are trying to get the sensor to pick up movement? Does it work fine when using without glass?For me PIR was not an option. I tried cheap and expensive PIR sensors and all of them had too many false positives. Plus it needs to be ouside visible.

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@mickyvi in my case it was the opposite experience. I have 3mm thick glass and back of the glass is covered by matte black paper. The initially installed microwave sensor (behind glass and paper) was too sensitive and could pick up movement up to 4-5m distance. That was too much for me so I had to modify the sensor by adding a trimmer.
Once the trimmer was added I could dial in the sensitivity as needed.
Here is my mirror… https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13430/my-first-slim-mirror-at-homeIn your design, maybe cut a hole in the wood back cover to fit the sensor in. That way the sensor will only need to go through 6mm glass. You can cover the space of the hole with black paper to eliminate any light entry there.
It’s hard to recommend anything smarter without knowing the details of your design. Do you have any picture you could share so we can see how the back of the glass enclosure looks like? -
RE: MMM-DailyPower
@oemel09 thanks for this module. Fits great on our mirror.
I have one question. Is there a way to limit the height of the picture? I would like to make the picture a bit smaller…

Hi, is it possible to increase the font size? Often I have wear no glasses if I`m in my bath room after showering - and I need a bigger font size without glasses…
You can do that with CSS.

RE: absolute date in calendar module
@pablo_z said in absolute date in calendar module:
@qqqqqqqq
You must use:
timeFormat: ‘absolute’,
getRelative: 0,
urgency: 0,
in the config.jsI wanted the same, to have just dates of events shown. This helped me, thanks.

This is an awesome module, thanks!
Is there a way to cut away decimal numbers on displayed asset price? I have limited space on my MM display and don’t need to see decimals… -
