@cowboysdude Hi! would you mind helping me to install/debug your module please? i am not able to make it work even tho i followed your instructions :( thx if you can do this favor.
let me know what should i share (command to run etc) to make it easy to “debug”

Sure I will help you all I can :)

@cowboysdude oh that’s really really awesome!
so what i have done is git Pir-Sensor & wiringPi into root? =>

edit with nano pir.py =>

chmod all 3 files at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

and crontab also at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the jumper on PIR sensor in on H and the knobs are both set at minimum level

[cowboysdude]

First make sure your wiring is correct… use the pin in the pir.py…

Then…

I put the pir.py and both sh files in the pi root directly

pi/pir.py
pi/monitor_off.sh
pi/monitor_on.sh

sudo chmod +x pir.py

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh

sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

Then…

sudo crontab -e

On the last line enter:

@reboot python /home/pi/pir.py &

Hit CRTL-O to save then exit

Reboot your pi

@cowboysdude that’s exactly what i did all 3 files are located in Pi home directory as well as wiringPi.
sudo chmod there too & crontab too…
but not working… there should be something else.
i try to run your .sh file so the outcome is that monitor_off file works well but the monitor_on file displays the following message:

would you mind to share with me YOUR following files plssssss =>

thx you!

@bibi go here:

https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor

download the monitor_on.sh and try running it again.

@cowboysdude Apperently i could get ride off this xset message now the monitor is turning on but the screen stays black… screensaver issue maybe.

Yes that’s why I gave you the new one to try… I believe you’re having a screen saver issue.

The way I handled mine was to install xscreensaver and disable it :)

@cowboysdude aha ok I will check install xscreensaver this evening. Any specific options or settings that I should apply?
