@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.

[sdetweil]

motion config is done in /etc/motion/motion.conf
i just added a line in the readme about that

[dazza120]

@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

[sdetweil]

@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

[dazza120]

@sdetweil motion.conf won’t let me edit it, or rather the pi won’t any way around this?

[sdetweil]

sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf

nano or whatever editor you choose…

[sdetweil]

also just noticed that the execute bit is not set on the script… SO

cd modules/MMM-SleepWake
chmod +x external_motion

[dazza120]

@sdetweil so is it just this part i need to put on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 correct… and right below it the same with ended as the parm for the motion ended notice
