MMM-Pir alternative for bookworm

Muffex

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using MagicMirror for years and could almost always resolve my problems using the search functions.

Currently I’m struggling to find a new module to use my PIR to turn the monitor on/off.

The MMM-Pir module of bugsounet seems to be gone: https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-Pir and the user @bugsoutnet is banned in MM forum.

I’m on bookworm and have been using MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite (https://github.com/grenagit/MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite) in the past.

Any help is highly appreciated.

regards

Hello again.

Thanks @sdetweil :)

I’m now using MMM-Universal-Pir from here: https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-Universal-Pir

This is my config to turn the screen (connected via HDMI) on/off :

module: "MMM-Universal-Pir",
                hiddenOnStartup: true,
                config: {
                        gpioCommand: "gpiomon -r -b gpiochip0 4",
                        onCommand: "vcgencmd display_power 1",
                        offCommand: "vcgencmd display_power 0",
                        deactivateDelay: 60 * 1000,
                }

After switching to “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” in /boot/firmware/config.txt the commands did not work anymore.

This is my current config:

module: "MMM-Universal-Pir",
                hiddenOnStartup: true,
                config: {
                        gpioCommand: "gpiomon -r -b gpiochip0 4",
                        onCommand: "echo on | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/status",
                        offCommand: "echo off | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/status",                        
                        deactivateDelay: 60 * 1000,
                }

Hey @sdetweil,

yes, now everything works as inteded. :)

I was just thinking of others who may read this thread at a later date. Since bookworm is in the title I didn’t want to mislead them with the old vcgencmd which does not work with wayland. (At least in my case it didn’t.)
