      This is what I use to put my monitor to sleep using a PIR sensor. I have a 3D printed case for the sensor that hangs under the mirror itself. The sensor does not have anything to do with the magic mirror software at all, in fact it just puts the monitor to sleep when no one is in the area.

        @pugsly right, just trying to help w the debug. lots of things can go wrong, so, it’s best to start at the beginning before getting MM involved.

                If you’re still looking for a working PIR sensor module, I’m using EXT-Pir and it has been great

                    @j-e-f-f Hi do I need MMM-GoogleAssistant for this? Or works on its own?

                      @tanvir586 No need for google assistant. Works fine without it.

                          @j-e-f-f Hi mate. Thinking to install EXT-Pir now. Just one question do I need EXT-Screen to make it work. If yes how can I configure both module? Thanks

                            @tanvir586 no need to install Ext-Screen. You can use Ext-PIR on its own.

                                mmm-pir-sensor is not working anymore that’s why I wanted to use the light one. but this one is not working looks like

                                But of course the module still works.7

                                    @MyMirror unfortunately it does not work here.
                                    Pi3, Bullseye, MM2.22: PIR-Sensor does not work at all, PIR-Sensor-Light counts down from 15 minutes, but starts again without turning off the screen.
                                    No idea what to do.
                                    My MM has been working flawlessly for 5 years, but after the new fresh install with 2.22 I am having this problem.
                                    Can anybody help?
                                    Peter

                                      @Peter didn’t worked for me either. Recovered my old sd card with mm 1.19 and MMM-PIR-Sensor installed. Not updating my mm now.

                                        So I have my PIR working through a python script, from an old install but am using xrandr, which if run in terminal works great, I don’t know scripting well and would like to know if someone could make a module, utilising a PIR and xrandr codes below

                                        Monitor off: xrandr --display :0.0 --output HDMI-1 --off
                                        Monitor on: xrandr --display :0.0 --output HDMI-1 --rotate left --auto
