      I’m having a similar issue using Mmm-PIR-Sensor

      Using a pi 3b+ and it turns the screen off but not back on again…

        Having tested the commands it looks like
        sudo tvservice -p doesn’t work with my monitor. (-o works though which is strange?)

        Vcgencmd works perfectly though…

        Could this be a reason why it’s not working?

            @sdetweil is it this line

            sudo chmod u+s /opt/VC/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s bin/chvt
            

            That I need to change? Would I just change TV service to vcgencmd

                i guess i have the same issue.
                you can try easily with this module

                https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-NewPIR

                you can change inside the module the mode

                mode: 1 - use vgencmd
                mode: 3 - use tvservice

                in my case it works. But i think i have an adjustment problem.

                The screen turns off and also the sensor can wake up the screen again.
                But if there is no movement, the screen turn on randomly. Currently i have no solution. I guess there is some wrong settings on sensors Potentiometer.

                  @sceetch I came to a conclusion to not use any modules which do not show any info on the screen. So, in this case, I use a python script at boot which monitors a PIR and executes an HDMI on/off cmd ;)
