Hi guys, I installed my PIR incl. the aforementioned module. I have configured the module to xrandr on HDMI-1 and verified whether it works on the command line, which it does. Test of the sensor works fine too, module also sees movement and restarts the countdown. However, when it reaches 0, the screen doesn’t turn off. I don’t see any log that it would want to turn off, neither when doing npm run start:dev nor through the pm2 logs. Just updated to v2.22.0, just in case - but no luck. Any ideas or pointers? Thanks

Found the error - xrandr needs a sudo in front, otherwise it doesn’t execute.

@djlagaffe - I was able to get it working with xrandr with a small modification to the node_helper.js file. I’ll submit a PR soon.
