PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

This is all 10 seconds. But there is noone in front of the mirror… :-(

@Bangee Wait! That’s just all modules logging they received the notification, thats probably the same message over and over again logged by different modules.

Bangee

@paviro will there be any chance to log what information the sensor is returning?
I’m not sure why my screen is alway going on and off, but i’ll get nervous…

paviro

@Bangee Sure in the node_helper.js find the comment Detected movement and add console.log() so that it looks like the following:

gpio.wiringPiISR(this.config.sensorPIN, gpio.INT_EDGE_BOTH, function(delta) {
        console.log(gpio.digitalRead(self.config.sensorPIN))
        ....
}

@paviro I dug out a junk-box PIR sensor. Everything is installed and no white-screen problems, but this sensor only puts out an “on” signal for about a second after motion is detected. Any way to make the mirror stay awake for some time (say 2-5 minutes) with that timer being reset on any motion signal? Then if nobody is in front of the mirror for awhile it goes off. Currently mine flickers off and on, not the ideal behavior.

paviro

@jrleeman you should be able to change that by modifying the PIR-Sensor mine has the possibility to exactly adjust that :)

For the record: node 6.1.0 is supported.

paviro

@MichMich is it? Not sure I think one dependencies of THIS plugin does not support it, yet :/

MichMich

@paviro ah sorry. Throught you were talking about mm2 in general.

Bangee

@paviro i’ve added the console.log as you described, but there is no log output in firebug. where can I check this log elsewhere?

paviro

@Bangee it is node output! You have to check the log of the backend :)

Bangee

@paviro sorry, i’m still a node noob… how can I check this? ;-)

paviro

@Bangee how do you start your mirror?

Bangee

@paviro

pm2 start mm

paviro

@Bangee in that case read the wiki ;)

Bangee

Funny…

@paviro The sensor I’ve got doesn’t have any adjustments on it. I suppose I can make little timed latch in hardware to add on, but it could be nice to do in software too.

paviro

@jrleeman feel free to send a pull request! :) the sensor I use cost 3€ do I don’t really see a reason to do it in software of the sensors are that cheap :smiley:

jrleeman

@paviro Fair enough. I’ll see which I find easier, code or hardware. :smiley:

@paviro
Thanks for making this module. I am experiencing the same issue as @incubik as my screen turns white when I start the MM. My PIR sensor works as I tested it on the R Pi and with some LEDs and my breadboard. I have reinstalled the MM and this module but I can’t seem to get it working. I have also no idea what causes this. Do you have any thought on this?
Thanks
