PIR Sensor ??
-
I’m running a 8GB PI4.
I’ve installed NewPIR and configured it like this:{ module: 'MMM-NewPIR', position: 'top_left', configDeepMerge: true, config: { screen: { delay: 20000, turnOffDisplay: true, mode: 1, }, pir: { gpio: 17 }, } },
Strange enough it’s working now on another monitor. No sleepy “No Signal” text on screen but just a monitor turning in stand-by.
It’s not a new monitor --> Fujitsu L20T-4 connected with DVII can’t get my hands on it…
-
@mdlefevere that monitor is not energy star compliant.
the monitor doesn’t actually turn off, but enters some lower power mode. or they turn off backlight.
-
Ah i see.
But on the other hand: It goes into stand-by so the front light turns orange, and the screen goes all black (no backlight). -
@mdlefevere yes… getting harder and harder to find monitors that do this…
none of mine do. -
So. I came home after work frustrated that it didn’t work.
After connecting another HDMI cable everything is working as expected 🙄.I had a MicroHDMI to HDMI convertor and a HDMI cable after that.
I ordered a Micro to HDMI so i could get rid of the convertor.
Strange enough it is working with the convertor cable.
-
@mdlefevere never a dull moment!
so not all cables are the same… -
@sdetweil
Defenitly not.
Although it’s weird at the end it’s working.Going to test this a couple of days to see if it stays this way…

@mdlefevere
It takes 2 seconds for the startup of the monitor.
There is also no start screen , because the Raspberry Pi is still running. -
@c1olli NICE!!!
