Motion Detector
-
I’ve published the Motion detector module that I’ve been using for a while. It uses a web camera connected to a Raspberry Pi.
You can find it here:
https://github.com/alexyak/motiondetector
The configuration should be pretty straightforward.
-
Hi,
Thanks for your module, that’s a great idea to use the Pi camera for that.
I’ve tried your module and it looks like it does not work for me. My screen stay black even if i’m in the front of the camera, it is compatible with Paviro’s facial recognition module ?
-
@alexyak Same here, blank screen.
I notice that Chrome debugger complains that “Uncaught ReferenceError: MotionDetector is not defined” on this line in motiondetector.js:
var core = new MotionDetector.Core(function (detected) {Something missing?

Sorry, guys, the problem should be fixed now. Just pull the latest.
-
@alexyak Thanks, works now!
-
Works for me too, thanks :)
Is there a way to wake up faster the screen ? On my RPI it tooks around 30 secondes to turn back on, i might have a configuration issue…
-
@plumcraft which RPI you have?
-
The latest, RPI 3.
-
@plumcraft strange, I’ve RPI 3 as well and I don’t see this problem … This may be related to which monitor/TV your RPI is connected.
-
I assume too that the behaviour is different between TV’s. On my LG the screen turns blue with a big message of lost signal on HDMI after 10 seconds after the screen turns off. Not so nice - but then again, nobody should be in the room anyway…? ;-)
-
I installed it… it turns off the monitor but won’t turn it back on… suggestions?
-
@plumcraft Yeah there doesn’t seem to be an answer for the blank screen issue…
-
I am sorry to hear about your issues. Trying to think of the best way to troubleshoot that. The module doesn’t do anything fancy. It just executes these in the node_helper to switch on/of the output on HDMI:
Switch off:
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -oSwitch-on:
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7As a first step, could you please try to execute these commands in the ssh terminal?

Hi alexyak
I try it with the commands an it works, it switch off and on.
-
Ok, the next step let’s check whether the off state is detected correctly. After you switched off the monitor with the first command try to execute this in the ssh term:
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -sand let me know which output you see.
-
output is:
state 0x120002 [TV is off] -
@trividar @cowboysdude paviro is also using the same code lines in his pir sensor module and a user had similar issues, maybe his solution also work for you

Thanks everyone I will look into this later today!
-
@strawberry-3-141 unfortunately it didn’t work for me;0( but thanks for your input.
-
@trividar I thought the commands are working for you, as you pointed out 2 hours ago? I was struggling with this myself for a seperate module, it didn’t work in the terminal i had to login at tty6 or with the solution I posted I got weird colors and a zoom effect on my screen, but in the node_helper it worked at least for me.
