      Hi all, I’ve been building in the background for some time now but I’ve come across a problem trying to install a PIR.

      My MM project all set up and running great, but I wanted to turn off the display with either of the above PIR modules and I’ve come across some issues.

      When I add this code to my config.js after installing MMM-PIR-Sensor

              {
      	module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
      	config: {
      		     sensorPin: 14,
      		     powerSaving: true,
      	             powerSavingDelay: 40,
      	}
      	}
      

      My MM won’t load, I get a white screen which says;

      “localhost refused to connect”

      ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

      I’ve followed the install exactly and can’t see what’s going wrong!

      cheers onis

          Fixed it by running a script outside the modules using this method!

            Hi Onis, I got the module running without a script. Did you add the user to the GPIO group and executed the command for turning the HDMI on/off?

              @onis_uk what’s funny is that I cannot get it work any longer… since Buster came out and I upgraded it turns off but not back on…LOL

                @cowboysdude someone had to add a parm to the command

                Either way, i found another way which is using the command 'vcgencmd display_power 0 2' and
                'vcgencmd display_power 1 2' 
                where the 0 stands for Off and 1 stands for On and the 2 stands for my display ID.
