    and my MMM-SleepWake works with webcam for motion detection and Lucy for remembering which modules are hidden when waking by voice or movement

    and supports three different screen off approaches, tvservice (pi only) dpms (some monitors) and screen blanking(for auto power off devices, like TVs, EnergyStar)

      @axel

      I would go with MMM-SleepWake because it’s a newer module and it’s fully supported by our friend, @sdetweil

          If your webcam has IP or URL address to stream video output, MMM-RTSP… or some iFrame modules could work.

            If you can get an RTSP stream URL from your IP camera you can use my module: MMM-RTSPStream. Use the develop branch right now–and search this forum if you’re having issues getting it to work.

            If you want to stream your USB camera by hooking it up to the Pi, you can look at something like mjpg-streamer (Google ‘OctoPrint mjpg-streamer setup’ for some good guides) and then use MMM-iframe to show the image.

                The default port is the same as the Mirror, 8080. Try adding -p 8081 to your command to change the port.

                      @axel - Create a script with your command, name it something obvious like startcam.sh. Make it executable with chmod +x startcam.sh and then use pm2 to autostart and maintain the script: pm2 start startcam.sh When you’re satisfied with pm2’s handling, save the state: pm2 save

                      In the future, please use the markdown features of the board when posting code & logs.
