@desq No I don’t. Sorry I went in another direction… I have a pir.py and monitor_on, monitor_off.py… it works! If you’d like the setup I’d be happy to share…

You just start the pir.py using crontab -e then enter @reboot [point to where your pir.py is]…

That’s it… simple and it works!

@sunnysys @paviro

Thank you both!! My camera should be in today so I guess I’ll tinker with it this weekend.

I ordered the NOIR version …

@RedNax Well then I can still have a mirror that’s 2" bigger :)

Honestly I wasn’t sure it would either but what I can do is add an inch of wood to the bottom and insert them behind that so not to block either of them.

Thank you for the advice because that’ll just save me time!! :)

@paviro When I get the camera and rebuild the mirror I will do that!! Sounds like it may be easier…

I’ll update my picture as soon as it’s done… I ordered a real glass mirror but 2" longer so I can hide the PIR and Camera behind it… the new frame will be made out of mahogany… so once the mirror comes in I’ll build the new frame… next week I’m hoping…

@sunnysys OH shoot I just sat down to order some stuff for this and realized I didn’t ask you which camera did you get? Did you get the regular or NOIR version?

Do you mind sharing your py script that you used to make the pictures? Much appreciated!

Thanks!

@sunnysys Thank you!!! Sounds straight forward enough!!

Thank you again!!!

@sunnysys What equipment and software did you use?

@Mitchfarino Once you get started you’ll see it’s a piece of cake. I have no experience either but as you can see mine is up and running.

I do dabble in php and VERY little js so I’m going to attempt to port a joomla module I wrote over to this… I realize most here aren’t American but I’d really enjoy the NFL scores on mine as well… when I get time I’ll look at it…

I’m a contractor and right now I have no time for my own stuff LOL

@Mitchfarino I like that module but I’m thinking it doesn’t work well with node v6 you have to roll back to v5 to use it. I tried but all I got was a white screen and couldn’t get it going.

When it gets updated to support node v6 I’ll try it again because as @RedNax says it actually saves power on the pi… what you and I are using simply blank the screen…

PS @Mitchfarino @RedNax made a Weather module that rocks!!
