LIRC Automation using PIR Sensor?

@sdetweil Just realized I didn’t make my question clear in the post. I’m at a roadblock right now because I don’t know how to make this happen, do you happen to know a way for me to make the PIR trigger the IR?

@sranj REALIZED MY QUESTION WAS NOT CLEAR I’m at a roadblock right now because I don’t know how to make this happen, if anyone knows what to do to make the PIR trigger the IR, please let me know!

the sensor raises a signal pi pin when it senses infrared. after a small amount of time NOT sending infrared, it lowers the signal, ready to check again.
usually software sets a timer, and when the timer expires, the timer signal does some work too.
in this case, after 15 minutes of no motion, the timer signals no one is around, so does the turn off procedure. which u say already works
so maybe the PIR sensor raises the pin, which triggers a routine, and that routine is a wake-up to send the ir command
-
@sdetweil That could work, big question here though, how would I do that?
-
@sranj u will have to write code. some module or module extension. I think. I’ve said all the words that could be used in Google searches to figure it out.
