Another PIR sensor

DaVinki

Hi all,

At this moment I am using my MM as a wall decoration instead of a mirror, displaying images using MMM-wallpaper and various other modules. I Have connected a PIR sensor to my Pi, which works, but is currently disabled since I use Google Home to turn on/off the monitor.

What I was thinking of is using the PIR sensor to show modules like weather forecast, nstreinen module etc. I Reckon this uses the “USER PRESENCE” notification. However, all PIR modules I look at are build to power off the monitor completely.

Is anyone able to build a module for this, or maybe push me in the right direction?

Hi,

to me it sounds more like pages/profiles you are looking for.
My https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications module is able to trigger notifications based on GPIO events.
In combination with https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher and https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-ProfileControl you could toggle through the profiles with your PIR sensor.

@wishmaster270 Thanks for the reply. I Have been trying to get this to work, but some simple code breaks my config:

     {
           module: 'MMM-GPIO-Notifications',
            config: {
                '22': {
                gpio_state: 0,
                gpio_debounce: 10,
                delay: 1000,
                notifications: [
                  {
                  notification: 'USER_PRESENCE',
                  payload: true,
                  profiles: 'pageOneEveryone',
                         },
                ]
                }
                }
        },
    {
        module: 'MMM-ProfileSwitcher',
        config: {
            // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
        {
         module: 'MMM-Wallpaper',
         classes: 'pageOneEveryone',
        },
        } 
    },

When commenting out the " modules" config in ProfileSwitcher, my config.js works. Is there something I am missing, or should I first create configurations for every single module?

    } 
}

seems there are too many {}

Code directly taken from the module page https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher. Seems to me you need the bracket for a per module assignment of the class.

Removing the brackets results in a black screen. Assigning the wallpaper module to IgnoredModules class doesn’t change that. Using square brackets [] also breaks the config.

I Checked for comma’s, opening and closing brackets, the usual suspects, but as far as I can see I didn’t miss any.

MMM-GPIO-Notifications

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm config:check

black screen, open the developers console, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard,
and select the tab labeled ‘console’ and scroll up to see any errors, usually red text.

npm config:check is an incorrect command.

The black screen shows no errors. It states that the modules are hidden. Even the wallpaper module, which should be ignored.

MMM-Wallpaper is suspended. module.js:198:7
MMM-Wallpaper is hidden. MMM-ProfileSwitcher.js:113:25

yeh,

npm run config:check

i would disable each module one at a time til I found the one hiding everything

add
disabled: true,
after the module statement

{
module: name,
disabled: true,
position:
config: {
}
}

Yeah, the culprit is MMM-ProfileSwitcher. Somehow I can not get that config working.
