      @sdetweil Maybe you’re right! I didn’t considered that.

      But seems possible, correct? By changing the actual commands to the ones defined by the libcec librairy?

        @bolish I do not know… as I said, none of my TVs support ANY commands to turn off/on…

        in my MMM-SleepWake module, I use module.hide() to hide everything, leaving a blank screen… for those devices that do not provide external control…

            @cruunnerr ,
            Thank you very much for the detailed write up. As a beginner, i could follow the steps. I used the 2.1 Using PIR-Module. Its working well.
            Few questions,
            Now trying to connect LED strip-

            1. should i remove the module from the config?
            2. Or 2.2 Using PIR-script will work simultaneously?
              I read your following post, But, can you help me how to implement all?

            In my Case I am using a RGB 5050 Stripe. I am using three pins with mosfets and for the software part PIGPIOD.

            Just like that: https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/

            Here are my scripts:

            monitor on:

              Sure, my pir.py is the same as shown on point 2.2 but with other GPIO used

              #!/usr/bin/env python
              
              import sys
              import time

                      else:

                          if not turned_off and time.time() > (last_motion_time + 1):

                  try:

                  except KeyboardInterrupt:
                      io.cleanup()
              

              Because i use some LED Stripes which turn on when the pir detects movement my “monitor_on.sh” is called “lights_on.sh”

              But what exactly doesn’t work with my script? Maybe i can help :)

              Got this ( https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/) working successfully on another raspberry running stretch.

              now going to try this on Magicmirror. But i got confused, because PIR sensor is on GPIO22 and the same GPIO22 is used in led strip (5050).
              Can you guide , which GPIO to be assigned?

                  thank you, but as i mentioned, i’m just a beginner. just copying and pasting.:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
                  So lets fix led on GPIO22 and move PIR to another.

                    I am glad, you got it :)

                    As you can see i used PIN 25 for the PIR and 17,22,24 for the LED’s.

                    Keep in mind, that the physical GPIO Number isn’t the same as with BCM numbering !!! Thats important!

                    In the script (line 9) u can see that it uses the BCM Numbering. That means the following:

                    BCM pin 17 = physical PIN 11
                    BCM pin 22 = physical PIN 15
                    BCM pin 24 = physical PIN 18
                    BCM pin 25 = physical PIN 22

                    So the LED’s must be connected with physical PIN 11,15,18 and the PIR on PIN 22.

                    Hope that was clear ^^

                      @cruunnerr yeh, don’t know why use the BCM ever… use the actual pin numbers… hurts my head trying to figure out the pin mappings…

                      https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/12966/what-is-the-difference-between-board-and-bcm-for-gpio-pin-numbering

                      io.setmode(io.BOARD) instead of io.setmode(io.BCM)

                        Yup, I connected like that. There is a problem. Disabled the PIR Module.
                        Screen goes off after 120sec, But when it sense the motion, the screen is black.
                        My magicmirror is not set to “auto start” , I use “cd ~/MagicMirror
                        DISPLAY=:0 npm start”.

                        “python pir.py” is working properly. I used the steps described in 2.2.
