so I tried xset dpms force off and on and they are working so I will use mode: 2 for the screen. Now I have this behavior for pir_mode:1 : the counter is not counting down as if the sensor is always on maybe?
pir_mode:2 not working. Thank you

@bugsounet I understand, so to make it work I should use now another mode right? Thank you

I have the same problem. The Module is not working, I tried so many parameter changes. Besides that I tried to read the values of the PIR with a python script and is working. To power on/off the monitor via console is working too. I don’t know what to try else

@bugsounet worked !! Thank you - I m still a linux newbie

Hello all, I have a problem installing MMM-Pir Module. Maybe someone has an idea what I can check/do. Thanks in advance!
