Motion Sensor/PIR

[BandNerd1002]

Does anyone have a great tutorial that they used to set up their PIR motion sensor into their MagicMirror? All of the ones that I have are not too great and don’t explain everything well. I am a beginner and do not know what I am doing. Any help/advice?

If you understand Dutch :winking_face:
I din’t use a MM Module, because that didn’t work for me. I like the mirror to blank even if MM is not running. So I use this alternative Python script.

Try this topic: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app

I got mine working from here and it has lots of options!

@bmadeira were you a beginner when you first tried this? I ruined my last Pi when I tried to hook up the PIR sensor.
