There be already.

Hmmm years ago I tested these 2 modules and at that time both worked. But I’m not sure they still be valid with current MM.

Thanks,

why i need the proxyserver here ? --> forget it, who can red exactly the readme i see the solution for this :D
mus i config the webcam in raspberry , usb port or other ?

So i install motion detector and all config in the tutorial, plug in camera on usb and it works ??

But now i have seen if its longer time off (over 30 mins) , i cant wake up . I must restart

Is there any Standby mode on raspberry i should deactivate ( but i cant activate wil keyboard too )

i see that i dont have disable the screensaver.

My Problem is that i have not the folder / etc/ kbd /

Where can i get this folder ??

@Miked180 see my response in the other topic…

i wrote a module for using a webcam to control screen…

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-SleepWake

it uses a linux module to detect camera motion
sudo apt-get install motion
I didn’t want to write and maintain code to interface to an unlimited list of potential cameras…
you can also screen capture on movement, or movie record on movement

MMM-SleepWake supports tvservice/dpms and module hiding as ways to blank the screen
(none of my TVs support dpms, and most of my MM systems are not PIs (which is only where tvservice works)
