Totally random thought, but check the temp of different things both directly, and also in a mirror reflection. I wonder if it’ll sense the same temperature via a mirror reflection…
Fun fact: the heat measured is just infrared light, which tell you the objects temperature with the principles of Black Body Radiation, so if an object is reflective, it most likely also reflects infrared and you will see the reflected objects temperature.
If your first thought was “wait, infrared like tv remotes?” Yes! Point the tv remote at your camera to see how “hot” it gets (it’s not hot but it’s sending a lot of infrared through other means)

Works great!
If you actually want to measure a glass surface, stick a bit of painters tape or other tape with a rough-ish surface to it.
Cool! Or, warm, I guess I should say… 👍
I definitely noticed some objects like a coke can reflecting heat from nearby sources. Let me check my mirror

It is pretty much like taking a normal picture of a mirror.
