So maybe you can trigger the module with your pir-module.<br />
Or take a look at point 6 in this tutorial<br />

<p dir="auto">Would either of these two options work from within the PIR module?</p>
<p dir="auto">I keep trying to find a hide or show all(modules) command that I could trigger from within the PIR module similar to the “powerSaving” command that turns off the HDMI port but unfortunately causes the “no Signal” message to appear.</p>

<p dir="auto"><code>vcgencmd display_power 0</code> turns of the hdmi controller. The monitor will go into standby mode after that.<br />
<code>tvservice -o</code> is another option. It probably does the same but I’m not sure. MIght work better and send the monitor directly into sleep.<br />
Both commands are bash commands and can be tried from an ssh shell.<br />
if you try out the tvservice command you might need a more complex command to get the mirror GUI back.</p>
<pre><code>/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p; sudo /bin/chvt 6; sudo /bin/chvt 7
</code></pre>

As I said the frame is functioning perfectly except for the “no signal” problem. The MMM-Remote-Control module is tempting but I was not able to figure out how to “hide” everything when the PIR sensor triggered.</p>

<p dir="auto">I have the same issue, and I am sure there was a time I got the monitor turned off directly with another module.<br />
I think there are different ways of turning the monitor off, at least for more recent Raspberry Pis and this module might be using the wrong one for us.<br />
I wanted to look into this more, you motivated me again :-).</p>

Could you show or point me to an example of these two modules getting rid of this “no signal” problem.<br />
Thanks!</p>
