<![CDATA[Pir Sensor not shutting off screen.]]>Re: {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based

I have followed this tutorial and its great thank you. i installed the pir module and everything works great. the only issue is my screen goes into a no signal screen with an annoying cube in the middle which i cannot disable. So, on a fresh install i tried the manual way and followed all steps to have my screen turn black instead of off when the pir detects motion but nothing happens. i have run my python pir.py and it detects my motions and gives me … everytime i move so i know its working ok. What have i missed? im new to the whole raspberry pi and programming world but im learning fast. I have a fully functional magic mirror with lots of 3rd party modules installed so im quite good with following instructions. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I just added some code to my module to handle PIR_SENSOR sending notice of user around…
so you shouldn’t have to change anything there… well, stop it from turning off the display

This would work for me. As I mentioned I am a beginner in all this. How would I configure your module to work with my pir sensor. Sorry if this seems a daft question, I’m still learning the ropes. Thanks

I wrote my MMM-SleepWake (on github) module to provide the ability to hide all modules to darken the screen…
its not off, and at night it has a glow (the backlight)… but its better than nothing…

i don’t care how you detect motion, camera, pir, wave, …

when you do, call my provided script with ‘started’, and when the motion ends, call it again with ‘ended’
see the readme.

set the “mode” to “hide”
I use a webcam for motion detection
