      But is HDMI CEC not allowing us to send a “turn screen off” command to the monitor instead of disabling the rasp. HDMIoutput and relying / hoping on the monitor’s behaviour?

      as I understand it, not many monitors/tv’s provide support for external power off/on commands…

      none of my TV’s used for MM support this…

        @sdetweil Maybe you’re right! I didn’t considered that.

        But seems possible, correct? By changing the actual commands to the ones defined by the libcec librairy?

          @bolish I do not know… as I said, none of my TVs support ANY commands to turn off/on…

          in my MMM-SleepWake module, I use module.hide() to hide everything, leaving a blank screen… for those devices that do not provide external control…

            OK, I will then try myself when I will receive my stuff and let forums knows if working or not.

              @cruunnerr ,
              Thank you very much for the detailed write up. As a beginner, i could follow the steps. I used the 2.1 Using PIR-Module. Its working well.
              Few questions,
              Now trying to connect LED strip-

              1. should i remove the module from the config?
              2. Or 2.2 Using PIR-script will work simultaneously?
                I read your following post, But, can you help me how to implement all?

              In my Case I am using a RGB 5050 Stripe. I am using three pins with mosfets and for the software part PIGPIOD.

              Just like that: https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/

              Here are my scripts:

              monitor on:

                Sure, my pir.py is the same as shown on point 2.2 but with other GPIO used

                #!/usr/bin/env python

                But what exactly doesn’t work with my script? Maybe i can help :)

                Got this ( https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/) working successfully on another raspberry running stretch.

                now going to try this on Magicmirror. But i got confused, because PIR sensor is on GPIO22 and the same GPIO22 is used in led strip (5050).
                Can you guide , which GPIO to be assigned?

                    thank you, but as i mentioned, i’m just a beginner. just copying and pasting.:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
                    So lets fix led on GPIO22 and move PIR to another.

                      I am glad, you got it :)

                      As you can see i used PIN 25 for the PIR and 17,22,24 for the LED’s.

                      Keep in mind, that the physical GPIO Number isn’t the same as with BCM numbering !!! Thats important!

                      In the script (line 9) u can see that it uses the BCM Numbering. That means the following:

                      BCM pin 17 = physical PIN 11
                      BCM pin 22 = physical PIN 15
                      BCM pin 24 = physical PIN 18
                      BCM pin 25 = physical PIN 22

                      So the LED’s must be connected with physical PIN 11,15,18 and the PIR on PIN 22.

                      Hope that was clear ^^
                      My english isn’t very well.

                        @cruunnerr yeh, don’t know why use the BCM ever… use the actual pin numbers… hurts my head trying to figure out the pin mappings…

                        https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/12966/what-is-the-difference-between-board-and-bcm-for-gpio-pin-numbering

                        io.setmode(io.BOARD) instead of io.setmode(io.BCM)
