PIR sensor does not switch on monitor
-
Hello,
I have configured and connected the PIR sensor exactly as described in this explanation from Hardwarepoint (https://hardwarepoint.net/2017/06/diy-smart-mirror/4/). The sensor also worked until a few weeks ago. Since a few weeks the monitor does not switch off.Today I could finally take care of the problem and went through the installation steps again. Everything looks like it should be. It worked before. After a reboot, the SmartMirror also starts. And now after about 60 seconds the monitor switched off! But now, the monitor does not switch on when I move in front of it! It stays black. In a browser (Port 8080) I can see the MM. This means that the software is running, but the monitor does not turn on.
The status displays the following
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status pir.service
● pir.service - Display timeout PIR daemon

Thanks in advance.
