# 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.

@sdetweil ok cool so this is how i have it now

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

# 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.

@dazza120 looks good

dazza120 · Jan 3, 2019, 1:59 AM

@sdetweil thanks ive done this command chmod +x external_motion but i don’t see an outcome it just re turns to pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake

whole commandline below

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake $ chmod +x external_motion

@dazza120 right. That makes my script executable, so motion can execute it

Now u will see files appear in the MMM-SleepWake/motion folder

When the motion module detects motion, and when it ends.

My module uses those files
