Screen turning off

@N6NG the trick is to keep the monitor active enough to fool it into not triggering it’s eco feature.

@BKeyport and how would you do that?

@N6NG I get an error from the line that looks like this.

on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

which is line 47 which shows this error.
[ERROR] Line 47 column 19: Parsing error: Unexpected token /
That’s the / in front of the home/pi/MagicMirror…
Can’t see why that would be a problem.

@N6NG you are not using a camera, so u don’t need that

the PIR module should signal user_presence, true
and then sleep wake will show the modules ,

user_presence, false, plus the timeout will hide the modules

@sdetweil Thanks Sam… I’ll give it a try…
