PIR sensor to turn on LED strip

@Egnos that could be added pretty easily.

The problem is that I don’t have the skills to program. I understand something … but not enough … unfortunately

sdetweil

@Egnos well, there ARE people who could do it…

@Egnos what actions would u like the LEDs to do on notification? and what would u think the notification ID string should be?

Initially it would be enough to turn on the LEDs at the same time as the monitor is turned on and turn them off when the monitor is turned off.

For the notification I believe that the module that manages the LEDs should respond to a notification such as “LightOn-White” and “LightOff-White” generated by the module that manages the PIR sensor variations.
I hope I haven’t said too many wrong things … 🤞

@Egnos that led module can only on/off/ or blink

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 it has a way for all off. but not all on.
