Screen turning off
-
@N6NG no need for external if you use pir
mode is hide( hides all modules or shows all modules.) doesn’t turn off monitor
-
@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…
