      Hi @bibi, I hope, I understand that right.

      I don’t think that this is very easy. Because the script just turns the HDMI port of the RaspberryPi to on and off. So a fading effect wouldn’t be quite easy I think

          systemctl daemon-reload

            @shashank hi! unfortunately you will not find the cmd line in the github to enable the service at boot time. As far as i have checked, the systemd should already run at boot but for strange reasons it was not the case for me. Therefore, i had to issue the command : sudo systemctl enable pir_sensor.service
            good luck!

              Ok, maybe I forgot that in the readme file, or it worked straghtaway on my Pi.
              I’m going to add sudo systemctl enable pir_sensor.service to the readme file!

              thanks for the hint :)

                Sounds more effective than mine. I set an infinite loop to check for motion every second and if no motion is detected for 600 seconds the display goes to sleep.
