      Hello,

      My mirror has been working spectacularly. That is until I started working with the PIR - Sensor module.

      I followed the PIR- Sensor (HC-SR501) instructions here
      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app

      However, after a short amount of time the pi remains on, but the connection to HDMI is lost and I get the blue screen of death, followed by a black void.
      Thus requiring a (not advised) reset of the Pi, to work against the clock and remove the module from the config file.

      I’m a bit over my head with his one. Any suggestions?

      Nick

        @nneuland u need to find out if your monitor will accept cec commands to turn off it’s power, instead of turning off the hdmi port.

        search google for cec-client

        none of mine support cec commands.

        if you use an ssh connection to the pi from your other machine you can turn the hdmi port back on without rebooting
