      Hi
      I’m completely new to this.
      I have a Pi 5 on Magicmirror.
      I installed MMM-Pir when ir runs the countdown but it displays 2 errors top of screen, pir has no effect countdown expires and turns of the screen.
      Unable to recover without rebooting
      Errors on screen :
      EINVAL: Invalid argument, write
      Command failed: /usr/bin/vcgencommand display_power

        @bugsounet thank you changing to pir_mode 1 fixed the problem. Just for awareness I am running on a RPi 3 B+ Rev 1.3 hence why I didn’t do this sooner.

          @eyesallin on pi5 by default you have to use mode 10, as Wayland is the display manager

              50% unfortunately the top error is still there, any other help would be appreciated.

                    like that:

                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ groups
                    pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users input render netdev lpadmin gpio i2c spi
                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 
                    

                    I have to see if you are in gpio group :)
