      My MM works fine but I have a problem using MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite. The modul is running, the countdown is shown on the MM but when the countdown shows 0 it does not switch HDMI off so the monitor is still alive.

      What can I do??

          Python3 was already installed (up to date).
          Module seems to work fine but does not switch HDMI off…

            @Volkae so have u tried the command it uses, on the terminal window

            from the code

            /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0
            

            make sure to do this over ssh, so you can turn it back on

            /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1

              then it shows me:

              display_power=1

              HDMI is still alive…

                @Volkae those two were off and on

                if you do off

                does it turn off?
