      Sorry no :/ I just started a new job/school and I do not currently have a mirror setup :( but it should really not be that hard to do so feel free to just try! You can use onoff there is an example which would not need to be changed much to replace wiring Pi in my code :)
      If you succeed please send a pull request!

      Edit: If I find some time this evening I will try to do it but you will have to test as again I don’t have a mirror currently.

      We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

                  I´m playing around with PIR and after reinstalling npm it seems to work.
                  the only problem is that my monitor is switching on and off every couple of seconds.
                  do you guys have a picture of how your sensor is setup (Poti, Trigger Jumper)?

                  thanks a lot!

                    Hi,

                    i have some issue with the PIR Module. It worked for testing a couple of month but now under productive operation it doesn’t :(

                    The Screen is switched off and on correctly but after a unspecified time it doesn’t switch it on anymore, it stays black. Sometimes after an hour sometimes after a couple of minutes.

                    The PIR itself is working correctly as i discovered, i’m also getting it’s state under FHEM and there i can see the relaible functionality of it. I connected it to the GPIO 21.

                    As i can see on the screen it doesn’t get any video input anymore. Only rebooting the PI2 will fix it.

                    I’m not sure where to search :(

                    Some startup log entrie doesn’t show anything.

                      Thanks for the module - this is fantastic!

                      I have a PIR sensor attached and it works as desired, but when the HDMI signal is cut to the TV, I get a “No Signal” message on the screen from the TV itself because the RPi isn’t sending signal anymore.

                      I’m wondering what the best solution would be. My head goes to hiding all modules instead of turning the monitor off so MM is still on but a completely black screen, or somehow send the RPi into a sleep state but keep the HDMI active.

                      Has anyone else tackled this issue?

                        @phrazelle The idea behind it is so that when the HDMI is disabled you would get the no signal. You then set up the TV/Monitor to go to sleep if no signal is found.
                        Check your TV manual for power saving settings.
