MMM-SleepWake turn off but not turn on
-
@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…
-
@krosamont then u have to restart motion module
u can test the start/stop commands
from a terminal window or over ssh
-
@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 -
@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
-
@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 -
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?
-
@krosamont motion is a module outside mm
u have to run it all the timei think u will have to do
sudo motion &
to start it -
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…:face_with_monocle:
-
@sdetweil you mean that it’s normal if I don’t see the motion log when I run the mirror?
-
@krosamont turn off the motion web servers that post video
i think there are 4 8080-8083
search the conf file
