@sdetweil yes it is do i have to remove the # aswell?

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 no, there is no # on those two lines

[dazza120]

@sdetweil no on the two lines above it

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 no, those are comments to explain what these lines do

[dazza120]

@sdetweil ok cool so this is how i have it now

# Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap
 on_event_start /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion started

# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
 on_event_end /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake/external_motion ended

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 looks good

[dazza120]

@sdetweil thanks ive done this command chmod +x external_motion but i don’t see an outcome it just re turns to pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake

whole commandline below

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake $ chmod +x external_motion

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 right. That makes my script executable, so motion can execute it

Now u will see files appear in the MMM-SleepWake/motion folder

When the motion module detects motion, and when it ends.

My module uses those files

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil u start the motion tool with sudo motion &

And u can see it’s actions in /var/log/motion/motion.log

The tail command will show you the last few lines (default 20) of a file

@sdetweil i’ll have a look tomorrow, thanks very much for your help much appreciated for your help
