MMM-PIR-Sensor is turning off the screen when it detects user?

@cowboysdude Perfect, so I should expect it to shut off by the time the system loads to the prompt.
Yes it has two sensors, one for sensitivity and the other for how long to send the active signal. Suppose I’ll just play around a bit. Maybe i’ll try find the logs for wherever it tells you when cron jobs have run. Not having any luck so far. i might be doing the cron part wrong, i’ve never played around with cron jobs before.
Im thinking its the pir.py script as I’ve done the cron job right I think.
edit: locations of the startup and shutdown script in pir.py need to be updated! Doh!

Yes you should be able to start everything up… then walk away and see what happens… what I did was once the mirror was loaded I took a towel and covered the PIR Sensor… ;) Then once the screen went out I took it off and waved my hand in front of it and it came back on :)
