        @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?
