MMM-Pir toggling

[ttt126]

Is it possible to set the relay toggling not only when switching on or off, but during both state changes. So a toggle when switching off and a toggle when switching on.
The background is that I want to use the relay to operate my standby button on the monitor.
The relay currently switches off after a set time and switches on again when there is movement. This switches the supply voltage completely. It would be better to leave the power supply permanently connected and only switch the stanby button. But for this you need a change in the state of the relay with every process.
I couldn’t get it to work in the settings. where can you change the behavior of the relay? mode 6 and mod 7 at the same time so to speak.

config: {
triggers:[
{
trigger: “USER_PRESENCE”,
fires: [
{
exec: (payload) => {
return "python3 /homr/pi/neu1.py " + payload.option
}
},
],
},
]
}

The pathon3 comand was missing. I´m not quite firm with programming.
But a serce for executing a py script brought the answere!

@ttt126 best to ask the author

[ttt126]

How can i do so?
Is he actice on this forum?

[sdetweil]

@ttt126 generally youwould open an issue on the module githib page

@bugsounet can you please add an issues tab to the module? so we can keep track of things like this without you having to troll the forum too…

[ttt126]

Thanks for your answer. I don’t want to troll anything here.
On Github I can make a pull request under mmm-pir. I think that’s not the point. I can’t find a new issue there.
So here are my questions.

[sdetweil]

@ttt126 troll wasn’t indended for you. he is a busy guy. PIR is busted all over the place with bookworm.

[ttt126]

Thanks, opened an issue here:

https://github.com/KristjanESPERANTO/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/issues

Will see

[bugsounet]

Hi,

MMM-Pir v2 is under coding
Unfortunately, it is not possible to use mode 6 and 7 at the same time (same GPIO)

This module send USER_PRESENCE notification with trueor false payload (it’s the screen state)
You can trigger it with this module MMM-NotificationTrigger and exec a personal script for this

Note:

• python RPi.GPIO will be deleted (in next release) because there is a compatibility problem with pi5 and with bookworm too.
• I will try to recode it with gpiod library for both compatibility

[ttt126]

Would it be possible to create a mode in which a relay is switched when detected on the PIR and after the new timer has expired.
So an on off toggle, so to speak. This would make it possible to switch any monitor using the Stanfby button. HDMI on/off would then not be necessary, simply a relay on the monitor button and all monitors could be used.
Unfortunately, I’m not that good at cascading the module.
Thank you for your great work

[ttt126]

Thank you very much, I spent the whole day trying to understand notification triggers and producing a config, unfortunately without success.
Maybe you can help me out. how do I do the config so that the trigger can be taken over by mmmpir? I’ve already created a small py script with a gpio pin that goes on and off, it’s in the root directory.
But I just can’t get the execut function to be implemented.

{
module: “MMM-NotificationTrigger”,
config: {
triggers:[
{
trigger: “USER_PRESENCE”,
fires: [
{
exec: “/neu1.py”
}
],
},
]
}
},

@ttt126 said in MMM-Pir toggling:

exec: “/neu1.py”

that means in the root system folder’if you meant YOUR home folder
that would be , replace username with really logged on user for home folder

/home/username/neu1.py

there may have been messages posted to the MM startup output

[ttt126]

Even with /home/pi/neu1.py it is not responding.
Do I have to devine true and fals state in the config as well?

[sdetweil]

@ttt126 can you execute the script manually from the terminal window?

[ttt126]

Yes, this I can.
Kliking - exexute, relay klliks on an off once.

[sdetweil]

@ttt126 ok, i was checking for permissions

did you check the messages from npm start location, see if any errors were posted

[sdetweil]

@ttt126 that means you started MM AGAIN…

if you are using PM2, then you need to use the pm2 commands

pm2 status
pm2 stop x
where x is the name or number of the row of the app you want control
and then pm2 start x

or you can do

pm2 restart x

I STRONGLY recommend using manual start while you are developing your mm solution
changing config, adding modules

pm2 stop all

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

to stop MM in this mode, hit ctrl-q on the MM screen

if you do this over ssh cause you have no keyboard on the mm system (like me all the time) press ctrl-c in the ssh window where you did npm start

(if you do this when PM2 is controlling, it will do its job, “keep the app running”,
you stop it, and pm2 will restart it… )

[ttt126]

so this is the aktual config
the command python3 /home/pi/neu1.py is acting the relay if executed in termnal
I use fire and exec both with no action.
maybe there is no trigger natification.

module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
                       config: {
                         triggers:[
                           {
                              trigger: "USER_PRESENCE",
                              fires: [
                                {
                                  fire:"python3 /home/pi/neu1.py",
                                  exec: (payload) => {
                                    return "python3 /homr/pi/neu1.py " + payload.option
                                  }
                                },
                               ],
                             },
                           ]
                         }
