PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

desq

I´m getting the same “blank” - white screen as soon as i try to use this module.
@cowboysdude do you have a solution yet?

cowboysdude

@desq No I don’t. Sorry I went in another direction… I have a pir.py and monitor_on, monitor_off.py… it works! If you’d like the setup I’d be happy to share…

You just start the pir.py using crontab -e then enter @reboot [point to where your pir.py is]…

That’s it… simple and it works!

@cowboysdude
I got it. I installed the latest node. (6.2.1) Pull MMM-PIR from the git Repository und did all the steps Paviro explains on the module page.
And suddenly no more the white screen and the “USER_PRESENCE” notification is send every 5-6 sec.

@paviro
could implement a parameter to set the duration for a monitor shutdown as no USER_PRESENCE is detected?

A stupid question, where “USER_PRESENCE” notification must appear? in ‘PM2 logs mm’ ??

If so, It doesn’t appear in my logs, which means I don’t have the module correctly installed right?

But if i check on ‘GPIO readall’ I can see how the IN is activated and also the OUT relay when it detects presence

@desq I’m not using the mmm-PIR I’m using something else… BUT I do know from reading that it wasn’t working with node V6… you had to roll back to V5.

I still had trouble with v5 so I went with something else…

@cowboysdude mh… I really would like to stick with paviros module.
“USER_PRESENCE” (PIR Sensor) seems to work, but my Relay does not change it´s state.
@paviro can you confirm, that your PIR module doesn´t work with node 6.22?

If so I must switch to that python-script-hell.

@desq sorry no idea :D haven’t touched it in a while since I am pretty busy at the moment (finished school, now moving to a new city at the other side of the country). Could be possible that my dependencies work with v6 now but I still need to update it and change some stuff once I have the time :)
What exactly do you mean by duration? A delay? My PIR-Sensor can do that in hardware thats why I haven’t implemented it.

@Wilco89, use SSH to log into it, user 'pi', password 'raspberry' unless you changed it to something else. Edit the config file, reboot the rpi.
