MMM-SleepWake turn off but not turn on

krosamont

Hi. First of all, thanks for your work @sdetweil.
I wanted to use your module but I don’t know what I did wrong.
When no motion is detected, I am able to hide the screen but when I move. Nothing happen.

I am using a Pi Camera module v2.

I have tried to follow the documentation on your repository:

I have added the module in config.js:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nano MagicMirror/config/config.js
{
    module: 'MMM-SleepWake',
    config:{
        delay:  0.5,               // default
        mode:  'hide'
        //debug: true
    }
}

I have made the changes required in motion.conf

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf

# Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap.
; on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
; on_event_end /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion ended

Then I have checked if I had correctly installed the motion project and if it worked properly. Everything seems to work:

I am not able to see what is wrong in my configuration. I hope someone will be able to help me.

sdetweil

@krosamont remove the ; in motion.conf on the two lines u edited

no leading ; or #

krosamont

@sdetweil thanks for the quick answer. Sorry I should have payed more attention to this. I have made the modification into motion.conf:

# Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap
on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
on_event_end /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion ended

But it still doesn’t turn on after the sleep…

sdetweil

@krosamont then u have to restart motion module

u can test the start/stop commands

from a terminal window or over ssh

sdetweil

@krosamont but it sleeps on timer(no motion) and wakes on motion.
how long after motion til motion fires the ended event?

look in /var/log/motion.log

may have to fiddle w some motion settings.

i changed my time gap down to 15 seconds
the camera is detecting motion constantly

krosamont

@sdetweil said in MMM-SleepWake turn off but not turn on:

start/stop commands

You mean going to the terminal and write:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo service motion start
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo service motion stop

I have done it. nothing happened

krosamont

@sdetweil the default setting is:

# Maximum number of frames to be captured per second.
# Valid range: 2-100. Default: 100 (almost no limit).
framerate 2

and I have changed the gap event from 60 to 15:

# Event Gap is the seconds of no motion detection that triggers the end of an event.
# An event is defined as a series of motion images taken within a short timeframe.
# Recommended value is 60 seconds (Default). The value -1 is allowed and disables
# events causing all Motion to be written to one single movie file and no pre_capture.
# If set to 0, motion is running in gapless mode. Movies don't have gaps anymore. An
# event ends right after no more motion is detected and post_capture is over.
event_gap 15

It sounds good, isn’t it?

I have also installed the module again :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake $ npm install

and I have tried to use your module without using MMM-Face-Reco-DNN…
but still I don’t find the solution

krosamont

By the way, I have also noticed that no log are generated in motion.log when I am using the mirror? The log is generated only when I do this command:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ motion

Is it normal?

sdetweil

@krosamont motion is a module outside mm
u have to run it all the time

i think u will have to do
sudo motion &
to start it

krosamont

Hello @chanster,
How do you run your magic mirror project please?
@sdetweil I have tried:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo service motion start
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

Still nothing. And nothing appears in the log. I think this is the problem…

If I do:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo motion &
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

Then I get an error and the cam is playing my mirror but there, I have the log!!!

I think we are close…
