MMM-PIR or MMM-PIR-Sensor issues...

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.

@sdetweil Thank you!! Been looking all day… gonna try this right now!

@sdetweil My old Pir Sensor does not work at all on Buster.

sdetweil

@cowboysdude eh?

sdetweil

@sdetweil if u ssh in do the two commands work?

cowboysdude

IN case anyone is still looking for a way to do this since they updated the PI4 it’s easier:

You can use 1 of 2 methods here:

or [even better solution IMO]

Thanks to don’t to advertise any of my modules on this forum
Thanks to not offer any support of my modules on this forum

I repeat again (again, again ?):

I am not a reference in this forum
I’m a VERY BAD guys in this forum
That’s why any of my modules is not on the 3rd party modules
