@sranj ok, so u receive the trigger in the node_helper, and need to launch/exec/spawn your python pgm

so you need the child_process library
https://nodejs.org/en/knowledge/child-processes/how-to-spawn-a-child-process/

PIR uses the same library to launch the tvservice command, or vgencmd to blank the screen

@reallykeene also, if u look in /var/log/motion.log to see motion events

@ninjabreadman That is indeed not very simple. It was something I wanted to implement too, but it turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought, since the MagicMirror project does not directly support this. But it could be done, and if so a PR or even just an initial implementation would be awesome.
