Is this module work along with MMM-Facial-Recognition using the same camera?

danielis

Not working here. Only either one or the other.
But paviro said he will include a motion detection to the facial recognition module at some time.
I will try to do it also. Will report if I have success

Hi!

I’m trying to get this to work, have a USB cam attached to the RPI3 and installed the .js.
But when I add the code:

{
module: ’motiondetector’,
config:
}
}

Am I missing something? Because it only give me errors… :(

(new to this)

@oscarkindberg Try this instead:

            {
                    module: 'motiondetector',
                    config: {
                            timeout: 300000 // time in milliseconds for to switch off the display after last movement is detected.
                    }
            },

This is set for a 5 minute delay. Modify the timeout value if you want a longer or shorter delay before your screen turns off.

@in_a_days Hit! Works now, BUT next issue.
After 5-6 min the screens goes white, can’t find anything in the code that would cause that.

I apologize if this a very noob question but I am having trouble getting the motion detector module running. I have clone the files to the module folder. I have modified the config file but maybe I dont have it correct. Could some one show me how the config file be modified to get the module running. Any other pointers? Thank you,

@oscarkindberg try hdmi_blanking=1in /boot/config.txt

@phoenixrising look at the last reply of in_a_days.
If that is not working post your config.js here.

@danielis Where do I fint that? I’ve searched all the .js files in the module and config.
