MMM-PIR-Sensor: Everything works fine, just one thing not...

Thanks, did not know that this has to be done to “activate” a PIR sensor…Interesting…hmm…

Does anyone know, if there is a method that this can be “simulated” in any way?

one idea is to just put the tvservice -o command in your rc.local.
before that u should do a little sleep.

like this:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

sleep 60 &

tvservice -o

exit 0

So on every reboot it will wait 60 seconds (just to let everything start like MM) and then turn the monitor off.

Sounds like a great idea! I will try that soon and will geht you a reply if it works! Thanks for that possible solution…
