@mdhenriksen it switches on via my Apple TV, but not from the Pi, the sceen knows it’s there I have it linked as a settop box so it should be using the hdmi as it does with the Apple TV, for now just need the ugly no signal turning off
-
@mdhenriksen so I think I’m boned on this point it can put it to sleep ie just turning off the Pi hdmi rather than the signal to monitor not sure if that’s because I’m using the fork by @cowboysdude? Which I don’t think is the case, I’ll have to look into this some more but now I can actually revive it from no input detected, but the sleep and wake is what I’m after. The TV has a DVI hdmi connection and that is what I have used to rescue it from the HDMI no signal that I couldn’t revive it from.
-
@dazza120 the tv is an energystar device. which will show the ugly no input screen until the energyStar timeout (15 minutes) and then power off…
that is what the HIDE setting on my MMM-SleepWake module does. it blanks the screen, instead of turn off the signal.

@sdetweil cheers but I had to leave MMM-SleepWake as I didn’t have a clue how to install the motion project, the more I looked at it the more my tiny brain 🧠 started to smoke 🤯

@dazza120 https://motion-project.github.io/motion_build.html
To install via apt, open up a terminal window and type: sudo apt-get install motion -
@sdetweil said in MMM-voice ugly hdmi banner:
sudo apt-get install motion
Your joking! So is that the packaged installed with that command? As what I was looking at was totally different to this. Thanks for your help.

@dazza120 from github project page
Motion, a software motion detector. Home page: https://motion-project.github.io/click documentation and then
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_guide.html -
@sdetweil i have followed it as best as i could i have the package installed and have located the motion folder in my user directory but for the life of me i cant find this motion.conf file to insert your script.
-
motion config is done in /etc/motion/motion.conf
i just added a line in the readme about that -
@sdetweil thank you, i have located it with your help, ill work on this when im not at work thanks, so its just a case of adding one of your scripts? think ill just use the start one
