Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...

sdetweil

disable the updater module
start the MM with

npm start dev

and select the console tab… make sure its scrolled down all the way

then repeat your test cycle
see if anything shows on console when the black screen is up

@ejay-ibm said in Blank screen issue ( another one again ) after one hour or so...:

// {
// “module”: “updatenotification”,
// “position”: “top_bar”
// },

Is that the module you are talking about ( as you can see it’s already commented ) ? If not how do you disable the updater module ?

I’m running dev mode now waiting for the issue to reoccur.

thanks

Once the screen goes OFF

module.js:198 				MMM-Hotword is suspended.
module.js:198				MMM-PIR-Sensor is suspended.
module.js:198 				clock is suspended.
module.js:198 				MMM-AssistantMk2 is suspended.
module.js:198 				MMM-Traffic is suspended.
module.js:198 				MMM-Hue is suspended.
module.js:198 				MMM-DarkSkyForecast is suspended.
module.js:198 				mmm-systemtemperature is suspended.
module.js:198 				newsfeed is suspended.
received TRAFFIC_COMMUTE 	MMM-Traffic.js:273

I Get now blank screen . Nothing happens in the log/dev console

Now I moove and screen goes ON , but MM still blank I say “Jarvis” and the console logs shows.

module.js:205 MMM-Hotword is resumed.
module.js:205 MMM-Traffic is resumed.
module.js:205 MMM-Hue is resumed.
module.js:205 MMM-DarkSkyForecast is resumed.
module.js:205 MMM-PIR-Sensor is resumed.
module.js:205 mmm-systemtemperature is resumed.
module.js:205 newsfeed is resumed.

So it look like the suspended state create the blank screen. (am I right ? :/ )
If yes Now the question is , how to prevent the modules to be suspended.
Is that because of the PIR module ?

thanks

Searching for similar log in other thread I found someone saying :
“It might be due to “onIdle” and “onDetected” features. Disable them”
So I have added to my config.js in the MM assistant module

 onIdle: {
      timer: 0,  // if you don't want to use this feature, just set timer as `0` or command as ""
      command: "HIDEMODULES"
    },

I’m testing and will report results.
Thanks

Ok Great ! That was the issue !
Placing the timer to 0 prevent the module to be suspended .

Now I would like to put this back in the code so the modules in suspended mode that is great as indeed I don’t need them update when the screen is Off but i’d like to resume with the onDetected when motion is detected by the PIR module ?

Is it possible to Sync the Idle and onDetected with the PIR Module ?

Thanks .

I Would Say that you should mark the post as solved As We have root cause here.
I have created that git

https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor/issues/73
To get some help from paviro and see if the ondetected function of MK2 assistant could be implemented in the PIR module so they could be kind of sync.

Thanks to @sdetweil for driving me in the right debug way for finding the root cause of the problem.

Hi @ejay-ibm did you manage to fix the issue. i have the same issue with the PIR Module. Sometimes the screen wakes up but its blank and i have to restart the pi.
