        At the moment I could be satisfied … but it does not seem that the module proposed by you can receive notifications.

          @Egnos notifications are easy… but this module rpi-leds, only toggles the leds ON the pi board… not led strip…

          if u can find one that works the ed strip with a python command, then we can make that work

            Maybe this module could fit https://github.com/jc21/MMM-PiLights, using SPI and a LPD8806 or WS2801 LED strip.

            It appears to respond to notifications:

            this.sendNotification('PILIGHTS_SEQUENCE', 'blue_pulse');

                @Egnos use my updated fork…

                https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-PiLights

                it responds to the PIR modules USER_PRESENCE notification (true = turn on, false = turn off)

                if lights are off and on is sent, it will restore the previous sequence set with the normal
                SEQUENCE notification

                  Hi,

                  I would suggest the solution of @sdetweil as well.

                  An other, but much more complicate version would be to use my PythonLedControl and control it with the MMM-MQTTbridge module.

                    Thanks @sdetweil

                    Let’s see if I understand:

                    • By default the LEDs will be off, until the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module detects something.
                    • If the PIR detects the movement the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module will send the notification USER_PRESENCE = true and the LEDs will turn on
                    • After some time without movement the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module will send the notification USER_PRESENCE = false and the LEDs will turn off

                    Correct?

                    I’m not a developer, but I’m still trying to understand your change in the code:

                    else if (notification === ' USER_PRESENCE'){
                                if(payload == false){
                                    this.leds.allOFF();
                                } else {
                                    // user present, restore the last active sequence
                                    Promise.resolve(this.runSequence(this.lastSequence.sequence, thi,lastSequence.iterations,this.lastSequence.delay)
                                    .catch((err) => {
                                        this.log('user present Sequence error: ' + err.message);
                                    }));
                    

                    why can’t I see this notification in the code?

                    (notification === ' USER_PRESENCE'){
                                if(payload == true){
                                    this.leds.allON();
                                }
                    

                    Thanks again!

                      ' USER_PRESENCE' !== 'USER_PRESENCE'
