@sdetweil said in MMM-voice ugly hdmi banner:
sudo apt-get install motion
Your joking! So is that the packaged installed with that command? As what I was looking at was totally different to this. Thanks for your help.

@dazza120 from github project page
Motion, a software motion detector. Home page: https://motion-project.github.io/click documentation and then
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_guide.html -
@sdetweil i have followed it as best as i could i have the package installed and have located the motion folder in my user directory but for the life of me i cant find this motion.conf file to insert your script.
-
motion config is done in /etc/motion/motion.conf
i just added a line in the readme about that -
@sdetweil thank you, i have located it with your help, ill work on this when im not at work thanks, so its just a case of adding one of your scripts? think ill just use the start one
-
@dazza120 its just one script… external_motion… you pass it a parm, started or ended
you need to configue both started and ended, else it can’t sleep thinking motion is still going onnote that because it is in the /etc folder tree, you must use sudo in front of your editor to get write permission
-
@sdetweil motion.conf won’t let me edit it, or rather the pi won’t any way around this?
-
sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
nano or whatever editor you choose…
-
also just noticed that the execute bit is not set on the script… SO
cd modules/MMM-SleepWake
chmod +x external_motion -
@sdetweil so is it just this part i need to put on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started
