MMM-SleepWake turn off but not turn on

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…:face_with_monocle:

krosamont

@sdetweil you mean that it’s normal if I don’t see the motion log when I run the mirror?

sdetweil

@krosamont turn off the motion web servers that post video

i think there are 4 8080-8083
search the conf file

krosamont

@sdetweil

I have just found 8080 and 8081…there is no 8083.
I have changed them to 0:

# TCP/IP port for the http server to listen on (default: 0 = disabled)
#webcontrol_port 8080
webcontrol_port 0

# The mini-http server listens to this port for requests (default: 0 = disabled)
# stream_port  8081
stream_port 0

I have an error when I run:

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