      Hi, just try to enable screen blancking with raspi-config tool

      Thanks. Tried that. Did not work. :-(
      The sensor is working because the countdown is visible and it´s reacting perfectly after detecting motion.
      The screen just dont turn off - it stays black which wasn´t an issue before updating.
      I´ve tried to

      DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off
      

      to see if I am able to turn it off manualy and via SSH. Output:

      warning: output HDMI-1 not found; ignoring
      

      Still a bit clueless how to fix that.

      Is there another option I could try? I know the monitor is able to be switched off as this was working before.

        @Che The real question is now:

        What compositor do you use ? (X11, wayfire or labwc)

        I purpose to use X11 compositor. (it’s the better choice for rpi 3b+)
        Can you try this commands:

        sudo raspi-config nonint do_wayland W1
        sudo raspi-config nonint do_blanking 0
        

        and reboot your pi

        in your config of MMM-Pir, can you try mode 1 in Display block ?
        and if not work try mode 2 in Display block

        Tell me if better ?

          I´ve changed to X11 via raspi config and did the commands. Now it seems working. Thanks so far, buddy.
          BUT the Display rotated.
          I´ve tried to change it via sudo nano/boot/firmware/config.txt and add display_rotate=1

          Edit: Plugged in my USB mouse and changed it manually on the desktop.
          I think its working smoothly again.

          Merci bien, @bugsounet
