<![CDATA[PIR sensor problem after restart Raspi]]>Hello,
i restarted my Raspi yesterday, since then the monitor hasn’t gone into standby anymore. I think some Raspian updates have been installed, could it be related to that? Nothing was changed in the MM configuration. Does somebody has any idea?

Greetings Joerg

With

rpi-update b976c54917e240630c05a9b383010f1492bc61b4

I installed version 5.10. It now works again with the standby on the HDMI connection.

next to test the sensor w the python script

stop mm

do this, i assume you have pm2 controlling mm at boot

so, do

pm2 status

should only be one thing… defined

But since the Raspi doesn’t even let the monitor go into standby, I suspect that it’s due to Raspian. Screen blanking is activated in Raspi-Config, so the monitor should switch off after 10 minutes, right? But that doesn’t work either. Or does that have nothing to do with the PIR function of MM?

there are python scripts that will show it working

I did it according to this guide (in German) have the same pir sensor as in the guide.

Have you checked that the PIR is on the correct pins of the GPIO?

https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications/blob/master/examples/HC-SR501/HC-SR501-GPIO4-README-EN.md

Which PIR sensor do you have?

Can this be reinstalled?

MMM-GPIO-Notifications: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications
MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification

Otherwise the screen was always black when MM started, and the monitor only came on after there was movement in front of the PIR sensor. Now the picture is there right after the start and the monitor no longer goes into standby. So I think it must be something to do with Raspian. Or maybe Electron? I have no idea what happened there… :-(

That is where I would start.
