MMM-SleepWake not working

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 no. Motion is not related to MM. It can do all sorts of things. Record video, take snapshots, and a lot more. Supports just about every camera.

And has exits which can be used to inform others of motion, video files, …

So, follow it’s install instructions. Then edit /etc/motion/motion.conf, and update the lines I documented in the readme. This will call the script I provided to inform my module of motion(start and end)

U also customize the motion app on sensitivity, delay, etc etc. All things I have seen people ask about.

When I started working on my mirror project a few years ago, I had all I could do to learn node, angular, JavaScript, a no SQL database, and a ton of other stuff. I was using a pi, but didn’t have a PIR sensor, only a webcam.and the mirror was voice based, so i needed a mic

I found motion. And since have changed hardware, running on an odroid single board computer to get network and image display speed up.
Motion works on lots of platforms.

@sdetweil hi just to let you know the read me is missing the : by config. i really hope i can get this working as it could sort alot of my screen on problems

[sdetweil]

thanks… fixed

note that the default motion delay from start to end of motion is 60 seconds… WAY too long, I have mine set at 20 seconds.

is there an install tutorial for motion so i can use it with this module?

[sdetweil]

@costascontis I do not supply it. There are lots of config options.

See https://motion-project.github.io/motion_guide.html

[sdetweil]

My readme provides the config info needed to get motion detection reported to my module

thnx,its just too much reading for me at this time of year,i just need to on/off my display when motion detect.I ll skip that feature for now :)
