PIR problem

I think it is more a problem of the graphical stack. Just checked my new installation of today.
With “vc4-kms-v3d” my test commands from above result in the screen being unchanged after i changed back to the “vc4-fkms-v3d” driver in the “/boot/config.txt” and a reboot everything is working as before.
I run the kernel 5.15.84-v7l+ at the moment.

@wishmaster270 sorry for my stupid question, I use Gpio pin 17, do I have to use that number in line 6 of your test script?

@Peter
No stupid question more a lack of information/documentation of me ;-)

You can call the script with the GPIO number as first argument. In your case it should be:

./testGPIO.py 17

After some research i am pretty sure the problem is the graphics stack in your case. I am working on a solution for the problem

@wishmaster270 great!
I will try it as soon as I find time …
Have a nice evening!

I was not able to use vcgencmd under bullseye and AFAIK they are using xrandr under the hood for rotating the screen over the web ui menu.

So beside testing if the sensor works you could test if you can deactivate the sceen with xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off and activate it again with xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate normal --auto.

xrandr is also the default of commandType option of MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite (see documentation).

@karsten13 I tried MMM-Pir-Sensor-Lite: counting down works and is re-activated whenever I move my hand in front of the sensor.
But the screen does not turn off.

@karsten13

Just released version 0.0.7 of my MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification module which supports either vcgencmd, tvservice and now also xrandr.

Peter

@Peter and if you issue the commands yourself(via ssh)
