The sensitivity sensor is set to half way as is the Time Delay Adjust so what you do is turn it all the way to the right then back 1/2 turn on both :)

The Jumper is L Single trigger…

OH by the way PIR sensors and the Pi 3 sometimes don’t get along - if you’re having false triggers, make sure the PIR Sensor is far away from the Pi 3… So get it as far away as you can :) I would try that first before making anymore adjustments!

@bibi said in Cowboysdude's Mirror:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Open up the monitor_on.sh and delete everything add:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Save it and that should work for you :)

yep that’s exactly what i wanted to later today :))
nevertheless, I found on the forum another way to avoid using sudo… i assume it’s better practice but i am not able to confirm this.
fyi:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Open up the monitor_on.sh and delete everything add:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Save it and that should work for you :)

Edit: i have found a command that allows to bring back the screen ! sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7. :)))
i have to check out how to implement this in an elegant way

@cowboysdude aha ok I will check install xscreensaver this evening. Any specific options or settings that I should apply?

Yes “Disable” :)

@cowboysdude Apperently i could get ride off this xset message now the monitor is turning on but the screen stays black… screensaver issue maybe.

Yes that’s why I gave you the new one to try… I believe you’re having a screen saver issue.

The way I handled mine was to install xscreensaver and disable it :)

https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor

download the monitor_on.sh and try running it again.

Then…

I put the pir.py and both sh files in the pi root directly

pi/pir.py
pi/monitor_off.sh
pi/monitor_on.sh

sudo chmod +x pir.py

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh

sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

Then…

sudo crontab -e

On the last line enter:

@reboot python /home/pi/pir.py &

Hit CRTL-O to save then exit

Reboot your pi

edit with nano pir.py =>

chmod all 3 files at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

and crontab also at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the jumper on PIR sensor in on H and the knobs are both set at minimum level

@cowboysdude Hi! would you mind helping me to install/debug your module please? i am not able to make it work even tho i followed your instructions :( thx if you can do this favor.
let me know what should i share (command to run etc) to make it easy to “debug”

Sure I will help you all I can :)

ERROR

Run the mirror in dev mode

npm start dev

Then see what errors you’re getting :)

i have an issue with the MMM-Voice-Module. I had install all with the dependencies.sh. The Installscript says i must use mic 1 in the config.js. But it doesn’t work. The Module in the Mirror says: Initialize… and then ERROR. What can i do to resolve the Problem?

Regards, Daniel
