        @DirkS ok here you go. 1st: when the Pi is started the screen directly goes into sleep. it’s a bit annoying but i can live with that as i will not reboot it everyday. 2nd: to wake up the system with a motion during this sleep mode, it takes quite a while (don’t know why) 3rd: when motion is detected, screen wakes up and stays up accordingly the time defined in config.js and goes sleep again (this is fine) but suddently it wakes up again without motion and this last behavior is unpredictable. i hope it’s enough info for you but don’t hesitate to ask more if needed. thx
        moreover your script is i guess different from the one of this pull…

                @chrisvanlaar said in Motion Detector:

                After reading here the motion works on my MM.
                Now ik want to go out of the sleep mode when a new mail or i get a phonecall. (it reads from my Fritzbox).
                Can i build in this option also? or is it better in the phone/mail module.

                Chris

                I mean that i have the camera module connected to my PI3. In the /boot/config.txt i had the (@reboot sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 ) and it works! :-)

                  Hi All,

                  I’ve revamped the motiondetector module to use a more optimised code to detect the motion from the web camera. The old one was performing very poorly. The new code works many times better. Just pull the latest from

                    Hi Alex,
                    thank you so much for your work! Unfortunately my MM start with a black screen after the update. I tried to reboot my Raspi but it didn’t help. Should I make a npm install after the update?
