@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

[dazza120]

@sdetweil im leaving it with the ; in the command line?

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 the example doesn’t have ;

on_event_start /home/{userid}/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

[dazza120]

@sdetweil no it this is what its like i hope this is correct?

# Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined $
; on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion sta$

# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
; on_event_end value /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion$

[sdetweil]

ok, that ; is a comment in the motion conf file, just like #… have to remove it

note that the on event end has an extra token there that neds to be removed
on_event_end value

[dazza120]

@sdetweil yes it is do i have to remove the # aswell?
