            my monitor won’t turn back on
            when I run “npm start dev”, it shows “compare result=Infinity,Infinity;0,0” , seems like it can’t capture any movement
            the camera module works outside MagicMirror
            when I tried “sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2”, it says “modprobe: invalid option – ‘4’”
            how can I fix this

              Hi @cowboysdude

              thank you for your files and the explanation. what i don´t understand is how this all works together with the “Motion Detector” - i would prefere to use a camera instead of a PIR Sensor but as far as i see i have to install the pir.py file which is calling the on&off files and referring to the PIN with the connected PIR sensor.

              is there a way to use the on&off files with the “Motion Detector” Module?

              greets
              Christoph

                Hi guys

                as it looks that it isn´t an MM problem but an Pi Problem…another try:

                sudo nano /etc/kbd/config

                change the values to zero

                BLANK_TIME=0
                POWERDOWN_TIME=0

                good luck

                  @cpramhofer There is a module for camera control… cannot remember the name of it but look around here I KNOW there’s one here.

                      @cpramhofer No that’s ok… I think this thread is getting mixed between PIR sensor and camera… opps

                        Greetings! I’m slowly working my way through this thread and trying to figure out what’s going on here.

                        What works: configurable timeout for the motiondetector seems to work just fine. Turns the screen off. Interestingly, if I’m viewing the mirror via my desktop browser, refreshing the page will turn the monitor on.

                        What doesn’t work: turning the screen on. Even after entering sudo modprobe bcm2835-vl2

                        Additionally, I’m seeing this in the console with the developer tools enabled:
                        getUserMedia() no longer works on insecure origins. To use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.
