@bibi hi can anyone help me with screenshots the file path where to enter the below commands to start it at boot time

cp ./pir_sensor.service /lib/systemd/system

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl start pir_sensor.service

@shashank hi! unfortunately you will not find the cmd line in the github to enable the service at boot time. As far as i have checked, the systemd should already run at boot but for strange reasons it was not the case for me. Therefore, i had to issue the command : sudo systemctl enable pir_sensor.service
good luck!

Ok, maybe I forgot that in the readme file, or it worked straghtaway on my Pi.
I’m going to add sudo systemctl enable pir_sensor.service to the readme file!

thanks for the hint :)

Sounds more effective than mine. I set an infinite loop to check for motion every second and if no motion is detected for 600 seconds the display goes to sleep.
