      Hi, i had some issues with the PIR module where the screen doesn’t switch on anymore. Now with a original PI Camera i tried this module. Same issue, the screen doesn’t switch on but in this case no motion seems to be detected. (the PIR did detect)

      with /opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7 i can switch on the screen manually.
      I followed every tip here in the thread. So i have no idea what is going on :(

      mm-0 (out): monitor has been deactivated
      mm-0 (out): monitor :state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
      mm-0 (out):
      
      

      That is the only thing i can see in the log.

        Check the console log. I suspect you’ll see a security error preventing the browser from accessing the monitor. Either launch your mirror in dev mode (modify your mm.sh script to read DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev and then restart via pm2 restart 0) or browse to your mirror’s address via a web browser and enter developere mode.

            @DirkS Aha. You probably haven’t set it up yet. No worries. You normally start your mirror by going into ~/MagicMirror and entering npm start, right? Just append the dev switch and you should see both the mirror UI and the browser console on your mirror: npm start dev

            If you’re starting your mirror via SSH, prepend the command to send the output to the mirror’s display: DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev

              The mirror is starting at reboot. So maybe there is a script, i installed it a few month ago, i don’t remember :D

              If i’m testing new settings i use pm2 restart mm for example. npm i’m just using to install new modules.

                @DirkS Interesting. Following the instructions I found via the GitHub MagicMirror repository, the pm2 should be using /home/pi/mm.sh to start the magic mirror process. Editing this file and appending DEV should give you the web browser console with log.

                  Hi and thanks to everybody making this module work!

                  @cpramhofer Did your solution solve the issue that the monitor did not switch on again after a longer period of time?

                    @done Wait, does it work for you? Because it’s not working for me and this is the last thing I need before my mirror is done.

                      @bhepler Sorry, I haven’t tried yet. :)
                      I installed the cam and the module yesterday and motion detection worked.
                      But I experienced the same issue this morning. Wake up problem is not solved.
