MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite modification
-
As I dig more into this, I am finding that there seem to be a lot of reports that some LG monitors do not support using the Standby command. I am not certain of how this was working before, but now I am beginning to suspect that the Magic Mirror app simply went hidden when the timeout occurred. Perhaps the monitor was ON all along, but the app disappeared from the screen? I don’t know if this applies in my situation, because I can’t seem to make any of the CEC commands work at all.
I attempted to turn OFF the monitor, and then issue the CEC ON command, but that also did not work. It appears to be some fundamental issue with the CEC commands that I may not be able to use. Are you aware of any modules that simply blackout the Magic Mirror app using the PIR sensor? I know that isn’t really saving as much energy, but it might be worthwhile implementing…

@Freddy_boy you can try my MMM-SleepWake
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-SleepWakeit listens for pir sensor or lite to signal user presence
and mode HIDE will hide all the modules and show them again when a user appears
I built this to use this with a webcam as I don’t have any pirs, and none of my monitors will behave (big ‘no power’ warning when hdmi goes off)
I just added the code for sensor-lite, just a check …
-
I assume that I would need to re-configure the MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite module to prevent the command from turning OFF the HDMI. How do I do that?
-
@Freddy_boy dang, this module also doesn’t alert other modules…
too much to change quickly… sorry
-
Really…
Should I recode a module by merging screen and pir plugins ??
Yes, I can do it but… I not really interested to maintened it
@sdetweil: if I add you to contributor, you are able to “maintened” it ?I will create MMM-Pir

@Freddy_boy
Hi, my MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification module can do this job. It has ahideInsteadShutoffoption.
You need my MMM-GPIO-Notifications in addition.
I wrote a Guide of how to configure the modules. -
@bugsounet said in MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite modification:
I will create MMM-Pir
It’s done.
It’s based with myEXT-ScreenandEXT-Pirplugins
I have rewrite and clean it for MMM using@wishmaster270:
do you want to try to maintened it ?
I can add you as contributor
(I see that you forkEXT-Screen)
I have really no time for any MMM :/ -
@bugsounet Hi,
sorry but at the moment a do not have plans to maintain more modules than i already do.
In addition i do not see a reason why there should be a need for a additional screensave module.
Most of the features are present in the exiting ones. I do not like the idea of putting the GPIO logic and screensave logic into the same module and had problems with it in my setup in the past. Thats why i created the two separted modules.
I forked MMM-Screen as i wanted to check if there is a easy way to implement the CEC logic to my screensave module. I do not think it would be a big deal. The problem is that i do not have a CEC aware monitor at the moment and do not have the time to build a dev environment with my tv. -
Terrific! I just installed MMM-Pir and it works properly as before. I am using mode 4 (HDMI CEC) and the monitor responds as expected. Thanks very much for the quick response! You guys are a real credit to this open source project!

@Freddy_boy perfect !
You understand now why i prefer works alone :D
I repeat again … If someone have the time to maintened this new module,
I will add a contributor access :)@sdetweil: this module can be referenced on the third party module page ;)
