@JamesMM ok thx! i don’t really get where exactly your code above should be placed :( can you give me a hint pls?

@cowboysdude Apperently i could get ride off this xset message now the monitor is turning on but the screen stays black… screensaver issue maybe.

@cowboysdude that’s exactly what i did all 3 files are located in Pi home directory as well as wiringPi.
sudo chmod there too & crontab too…
but not working… there should be something else.
i try to run your .sh file so the outcome is that monitor_off file works well but the monitor_on file displays the following message:

would you mind to share with me YOUR following files plssssss =>

thx you!

@cowboysdude oh that’s really really awesome!
so what i have done is git Pir-Sensor & wiringPi into root? =>

edit with nano pir.py =>

chmod all 3 files at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

and crontab also at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the jumper on PIR sensor in on H and the knobs are both set at minimum level

@cowboysdude Hi! would you mind helping me to install/debug your module please? i am not able to make it work even tho i followed your instructions :( thx if you can do this favor.
let me know what should i share (command to run etc) to make it easy to “debug”

@JamesMM hi! i also have pain to setup the PIR in hardware way and i would prefer your way. Is the code stated above working? thx

@cowboysdude 1st thx for taking time to reply. much appriciated! the PIR is ok but as it needs to get hidden somewhere, etc it’s less convinent. Yes you are right, the solution depends on my personnal need… i just need a way to switch on MM when i am in front of it BUT also completly switch off the monitor when nothing detected and not only the MM.
oh great, i will check @strawberry-3-141 module for sure!
@IngmarSwart also designed a solution with motion detection with a Picam behind the glass which seems to be nice to. i let you check it if interest…

by the way, do i have to remove Paviro module to install your one?
i couldn’t find @strawberry-3-141 module… can you pls forward me the link?

@IngmarSwart I see i am still getting everything but in meantime i am working on the software side. You solution is nice and i will try to implement it i think… with my noob skills :)))

@IngmarSwart ohh ok now it’s clear! thx alot for your reply.
your hack is working perfectly so far?
