Motion Detector

@alexyak Thanks, works now!

plumcraft

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…

alexyak

@plumcraft which RPI you have?

plumcraft

The latest, RPI 3.

alexyak

@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.

Cato

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?

cowboysdude

@plumcraft Yeah there doesn’t seem to be an answer for the blank screen issue…

alexyak

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 -o

Switch-on:

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7

As a first step, could you please try to execute these commands in the ssh terminal?
