MMM-Energy-Saver - an easy way to suspend/resume modules based on a PIR sensor.

@sdetweil It’s the same thing, though - when do you module.hide(), you trigger the suspend method for that particular module.

[sdetweil]

@michael5r also note that modules can be hidden on purpose. So wakeup should not show all modules.

My MMM-SleepWake saves a list of modules already hidden on sleep.

This also works across sleep/wake voice commands by MMM-voice/lucy

@michael5r understand and agree

Sure - and in that case, the mmm-energy-saver module probably isn’t a good fit. But it works great when you only need to do what I describe above :)

how should the MMM-Pir-Sensor be set up for this module to work?
This is my code:

  {
                module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                config: {
sensorPin: "23",
                        // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                }
        }, 


{
    module: "mmm-energy-saver",
    config: {
triggerMonitor: "true",
timeoutInSeconds: "3",
        // ... whatever configuration options you want to use
    }
},

        // ... whatever configuration options you want to use
    }
},

This is how I have mine set up:

{
    module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
    config: {
        sensorPin: 17,
        powerSavingDelay: 0,
        powerSavingNotification: false,
        powerSaving: false // Should the monitor be turned off if no user is present? (via HDMI or relay)
    }
},
