Looking for a quick and easy way to adjust the angle of HSM100. If anyone has an Intermatic CA9000, that’s about what I am looking to do with the HSM100.

Shot of a CA9000 tilt mount…

Someone has to sell small tilt mount piece that can be adapted to this.

Maybe something like this:

I have a friend who is handy and he simply bent up some hanger wire to fit my 7 HSM-100’s, doubled wire at the top parallel with the ceiling with enough split for a screw, 90 deg bend downward, the double runs down the middle back together then a flat section on bottom angles apart across the bottom with a 1/2 inch or so retaining bend going back upwards near each corner to just below the sensor height, they are easily bent to exact angles and the price was right

Speaker brackets… never thought of that! Thanks…

You might have to get a bit inventive with the attachments though!

Thats part of the fun! heh heh heh…

Now that you have me on track… I found these little ones in a 5 pack which would work great for a wall mount. Can use the others you suggested if I need ceiling mount.

@Les … An inquiring mind wants to know if you are going to paint the HSM’s black or the brackets white. Also, thanks for the find!

Ha! Funny you should ask, was actually thinking about that earlier. Probably a mixture. The little mounts at amazon will probably be out of sight anyway. However if I use them at home… may paint mounts white to just blend in with HSM100 (or look around for a lighter colored mount). At the cabin which is wood panel, will prob leave the mounts black, was thinking about trying to spray paint hsm100 casing brown to at least blend in a little bit. (Even though the white lens still stands out).

Any of the ceiling mounts I would paint to try to match the room they go in as they would stand out.
