PIR Sensor won't wake up

[sdetweil]

@jste84 yes change the command the module uses

[jste84]

@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

@jste84
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 ;)
