      Hi,

      I have sucessfully installed the PIR-Sensor. Now I want to tune the Sensor. Is there a possibility to track, when the monitor is turned off?
      I want to adjust the delay time and the distance.

      Sebastian

        @shgmongohh Does you sensor have these turn knobs, to adjust distance and time delay? Like here? Lets hope it does, all you need to do then, is turn them until the delay + distance work fine.

          Yes, it has the knobs. But I want a programm which logged the time, when the monitor starts or shut down.
          I unfortunatly cann´t programm it, because I don´t have the knowledge.

            @shgmongohh And you want this, to adjust delay and distance accordingly? I have used a simple python program for that, maybe I can find it again.

            Edit: Never mind, but if you just want to know, when the sensor goes off or on this tutorial might help.

              I will try it.
              I want to know if for example the monitor stays off during the night. I have the feeling, that he sometimes turns on when nobody is around. Thats the reason I want to trigger the on/off time.
              When I have the times I can also adjust the minutes he stays on with the knob.

                  @shgmongohh I have forked the original MMM-Pir-Sensor repo and made some mods to debug my own sensor last week.

                  https://github.com/jc21/MMM-PIR-Sensor

                  If you add debug: true to the config of my forked code, you’ll get console info about when the sensor detects motion and when it doesn’t. Also note, I’ve renamed the sensorPIN config item to sensorGpio to more accurately indicate the numeric determination.

                  [MMM-PIR] [2016-10-04 09:34:15] Motion no longer detected

                      @jc21 said in MMM-PIR-Sensor tuning:

                      debug: true

                      One stupid question, how is the debug info started?

                        As @jc21 suggested, add the line debug: true to the module’s config section, and restart MM, then look at the console log.

                        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
