    Hi AxLED, many thanks for your replay!
    I’m off next two weeks and will try it afterwards.

    I thought it will not run with VGA connection :S
    So I’m happy with this information!

    Best regards, bdream

      Hi AxLED,
      may I ask you for help please?

      I did connect a PIR to my Rpi to PIN 40 / BCM 21

      git clone https://github.com/mboskamp/MMM-PIR.git
      cd MMM-PIR
      npm install
      

      Added the the config in the verry first line within the modules chapter

      {
              module: 'MMM-PIR',
              position: 'top_center',
              config: {
                      sensorPin: 21,
                      delay: 10000,
                      turnOffDisplay: true,
                      showCountdown: true,
      //                callbackScripts: ["callback.py"
              }
      },
      
      

      Nothing happen. No countdown starts. No Disply turn off.

      Wiring was inslalled already:

      pi@MagicMirror:~ $ gpio -v

        * This Raspberry Pi supports user-level GPIO access.
      
      

      And I tried this command an a reboot:

      sudo usermod -a -G gpio pi
      

      Have you got any hints for me please?

          There are two Pir Sensor Modules. I use MMM-PIR-Sensor. Maybe this helps.

            MMM-PIR uses the tvservice command (see MMM-PIR/callbackscripts/default for the two scripts)

            MMM-PIR-Sensor uses the /usr/bin/vcgencmd command

            YOU have to make sure the different approaches work

            my TV does NOT respond to ANY command…

              Good Info!
              Will play next days with MMM-PIR and MMM-PIR-Sensor investigating about needed scripts vs. /usr/bin/vcgencmd command

              If I can’t get it run mayby I will add an relais to turn off the display…

              At the moment I have to understand the both approaches and what my display is able to handle.
              Could be no way is possible as it’s an verry old one.

              Cheers, bdream
