    Is there a way to temporarily disable a module?

      I installed MMM PIR Sensor and I installed MMM-ModuleScheduler thinking I can disable the PIR function at certain times. I see now that while you can control show and hide of modules you dont have the option to turn them off. Was wondering if there was a way to disable a module somehow?

        @teitlebot add disabled: true, to the modules in your config.js file

        for example:

        {
        	disabled: true,
        	module: "MMM-KitchenTimer",       
        	position: "top_center",
        	config: {
        		volume: 1
        	}
        },
        

        change it to false to re-enable the module…

            @sdetweil that’s right.
            I’m going to guess there is no way to do it.

                @sdetweil Because im trying to have the PIR sensor not turn off the screen during certain times. Hiding the module doesnt stop it from working.

                  @teitlebot sorry, do not understand…

                  those are two different things…

                  i hide modules to make my screen sleep… (can’t power off tv)…

                  you could extend the PIR module to ignore the sensor during the time u want it to stay on

                    @sdetweil how would I extend the module? I’m not really a coder but I can follow a guide.

                      @teitlebot you would have to add some code the check the current time against a stat/stop time you would add to the configuration.

                        Hi,

                        Did anyone find a solution to this ?

                        I’m looking to use a PIR so that if it detects motion it “Deactivates” the “MMM-PlexSlideshow” module.

                        Then when it doesnt detect motion it will reactivate the “MMM-PlexSlideshow” module to create a digital picture frame when someone doesnt step in front of the mirror.

                        Cheers

                        D
