Help! Probem using PIR Sensor on raspberry pi zero to turn on/off screen

@Mikgabo said in Help! Probem using PIR Sensor on raspberry pi zero to turn on/off screen:
can’t get MMM stock to work though.
If I remember correctly, that module’s API is no longer working, thus, killing the module. :-(

@Mykle1 Good day!
That’s interesting, I have MMM stock working on my Pi3. I am running an older version of Jessie though.
For you know of any stock ticker that would work on Pi Zero?Thanks,

Obviously, I am mistaken then, and I apologize for an old man’s faulty memory. :-/
I don’t know if this is what you are looking for or if it works
on a Pi zero -
@Mykle1 Many thanks, I’ll give it a try!
I have a few more avenues to explore I respect to the PIR sensor and will report back if successful.
Cheers,

My major problem is getting my PIR sensor to function properly. I have it working properly on a pi3 but not the zero.
What code did u use for your PIR?for the Pi Zero use the PIR script from @cruunnerr --> point 2.2 Using PIR script
maybe this is helpful
The very important thing is, that your monitor supports HDMI-CEC or ARC. Otherwise u will not be able to turn it on or off via HDMI. To reassure you, most monitors do this ;) To check if it works just go into terminal via ssh and type: sudo tvservice -o to turn off sudo tvservice -p to turn on edit: for some monitors the following commands work better. Please use them if your monitor needs it: vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off vcgencmd display_power 1 to turn on

FYI this is how i’m trying to configure my PIR https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/pir-sensor-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror/
If you have a soluton that currently works on your Pi ZERO please pass it on.Thanks,

@Mikgabo
To test if it works, you should enter it correctlyto turn off the screen
sudo tvservice -o or vcgencmd display_power 0
to turn on the screen
sudo tvservice -p or vcgencmd display_power 1
please follow the instructions under 2.2 Using PIR-Script, then your PIR will work too

@NoNameRo Thanks! I’ll give it a try.
