Issues with MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification
-
https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger;
I had this module configured along with the GPIO Notification to control my ACER 27 inch Monitor, which was working perfectly fine untill a week back. I had then messed up some other issue with the MM and had to do an rpi update(or so i think) . Now the module is unable to control the monitor. I have a RCWL0516 sensor whcih triggered by motion controls the monitor. I had reinstalled both modules but still no go. This is now behaving erratically.
AI ChatGPT is flagging it as a config.txt issue with the latest Bookworm OS and kms, fkms etc. Suggested config.txt by ChatGPT
#---------------Portrait Mode---------------
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82
framebuffer_width=1080
framebuffer_height=1920
display_rotate=1 # rotate framebuffer 90° clockwise for portrait
#dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-fb" Itried all but the issue is still not resolved. I have confirmed that the RCWL is triggering motion correctly.
I am guessing it is a simple issue but the AI has taken it to the next level of unsolvable resolutions.
Any help will be appreciated. -
@Rags Which Raspberry PI OS Version do you use? Depending on the version, you might need to adapt the power one/off command.

@sdetweil Sorry missed your msg.
Issue is: I am unable to set the resolution of 1080x1920 (Portrait orientation) for my MagicMirror. None of the configurations settings in config.txt relating to dtoverlay have resolved the issue. In fact it is causing my monitor to go blank with no picture. Only mode works is ; 1024x768
and Landscape.
I even reflashed OS to Bookworm , i had Bullseye earlier. The monitor on/off control is breaking because probably the HDMi output is not being detected.
