      Thanks, did not know that this has to be done to “activate” a PIR sensor…Interesting…hmm…

      Does anyone know, if there is a method that this can be “simulated” in any way?

        one idea is to just put the tvservice -o command in your rc.local.
        before that u should do a little sleep.

        like this:

        sudo nano /etc/rc.local

        #!/bin/sh -e
        #
        # rc.local
        #
        # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
        # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
        # value on error.
        #
        # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
        # bits.
        #
        # By default this script does nothing.
        
        # Print the IP address
        _IP=$(hostname -I) || true
        if [ "$_IP" ]; then
          printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
        fi
        
        sleep 60 &
        
        tvservice -o
        
        exit 0
        

        So on every reboot it will wait 60 seconds (just to let everything start like MM) and then turn the monitor off.
