          @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 on

          note 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?

                cd modules/MMM-SleepWake
                chmod +x external_motion
