<p dir="auto">i wrote a module for using a webcam to control screen…</p>

<p dir="auto">it uses a linux module to detect camera motion<br />
sudo apt-get install motion<br />
I didn’t want to write and maintain code to interface to an unlimited list of potential cameras…<br />
you can also screen capture on movement, or movie record on movement</p>
<p dir="auto">MMM-SleepWake supports tvservice/dpms and  module hiding as ways to blank the screen<br />
(none of my TVs support dpms, and most of my MM systems are not PIs (which is only where tvservice works)</p>
