MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite does not switch HDMI off

sdetweil

yeh tvservice went away in bullseye

they are trying to get rid of all the old ‘raspberry pi’ unique stuff to maintain

Seems that there is no way for me to swich off HDMI via PIR-Sensor :-(

Maybe I will find a way to do this with a python-Scrip out of MagicMirror but I´m a just a beginner and it seems to be not easy…

@Volkae did u see @JoeFranz post about changing the OS firmware down a couple levels?

I will try to downgrade

Hello all,

I think I have restored the compatibility of MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite with Bullseye (lastest firmware). See issue on GitHub and more information in ReadMe

Can you install the testing version to confirm the resolution of this issue?

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite
git pull
git checkout testing

Thanks for your feedback!

@grena
Hey grena,
seems to work fine on my Raspi 3!!!
Thank you, great support!!!

@grena
Oh, now another problem:
After switching off HDMI by MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite the livestream-picture from MMM-RTSPStream is not in the frame when HDMI is switched on again by PIR .

grena

@Volkae, have you updated the module from the testing branch since your last message that it worked?

Volkae

@grena
yes, I did but I did not run RTSPStream while running the testing branch, sorry.

~~No problem, I’ll try to reproduce this issue!~~

MMM-RTSPStream is no longer being actively developed :neutral_face:
So, I refer you to the advice of the author of MMM-RTSPStream to find another solution:

:warning: This module is no longer being actively developed. I will accept PRs and leave the repo active, but will not be directly supporting any issues. If anyone is interested in assuming ownership of the module, please contact @shbatm. :warning:

Why?

I am no longer using this module on my own mirror. After several years, I found that I use the snapshots much more frequently than I streamed the actual cameras, which can be performed by much simpler modules and methods. To enable streaming, WebRTC (like MMM-HomeAssistant-WebRTC) is a newer and better standard with much lower server overhead and latency for delivering RTSP Streams to the frontend than any of the options used here, in the future, this will be the method I focus on and I will not try to shoehorn another technology into this module.
