PIR sensor problem after restart Raspi

[Egnos]

@JoeFranz said in PIR sensor problem after restart Raspi:

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?

[JoeFranz]

@Egnos The sensor is correctly connected

[sdetweil]

@JoeFranz and does it works correctly outside mm?

there are python scripts that will show it working

[JoeFranz]

@sdetweil How can I test this?

[sdetweil]

@JoeFranz Google search is your friend

[JoeFranz]

@sdetweil Ok, that tests the PIR sensor. 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?

[sdetweil]

@JoeFranz well, its shouldn’t go off by itself… as then u would have two things fighting for on or off…

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

so, do

pm2 status

should only be one thing… defined

@JoeFranz ok, it’s not a second process getting in the way

next to test the sensor w the python script

stop mm

@sdetweil Nothing happens in the window. :-( PIR sensor broken?
