      ultrasonic sensors

      I just got my PIR motion sensor and VIOLA it works… sleeps after so many seconds but once it detects movement it comes right back on! I run it through crontab…

      if you want a copy of what I’m using for motion sensor I’ll share…I put them in the root and create a crontab to run pir.py and the rest is history… remember to chmod all three files… if you really wanted you could combine all three into one and instead of calling the off and on sh files you could just tell it to run the command from the py file… I will do that soon, just tired out today …work.

      I have an Amazon Alexa sitting in my livingroom LOL BUT from what I’ve seen it’s a great option!

      @Mitchfarino just browsed through it quickly and yes you’re right this guy did an awesome walk through! I like the idea of voice but would at this point rather have facial recognition :) But I don’t see why we can’t have both!

      That is awesome! I love that idea!! What I’d really like to do is do facial recognition as well!! BUT I have tune in radio pro so I’d like to be able to make use of speakers… that’s a great idea!!! BUT being new to all this I have to pick one thing at a time LOL

      I’d like to take a module I wrote for joomla and turn into a module for this… it’s an NFL Score board… but it has to be in js and that I don’t know but I do know a guy who does … soooo maybe he’ll help me out…

      @zydecat74 said in Calendar Config (bit of a noob):

      Here is my complete config.js (with a few identifiers removed). Hoping something jumps out!

      var config = {
      	port: 8080,
      
      	language: 'en',
      	timeFormat: 24,
      
      	modules: [
      		{
      			module: 'alert',
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'clock',
      			position: 'top_left'
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'calendar',
      			header: 'Calendar',
      			position: 'top_left',
      			config: {
      				calendars: [
      					{
      						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
      						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/Australia-Holidays.ics'
      					},
      					{
      						symbol: 'heart-o',
      						url: 'webcal://p08-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/xxxxxxxxx'
      					}
      				]
      			}
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'compliments',
      			position: 'lower_third'
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'currentweather',
      			position: 'top_right',
      			config: {
      				location: 'Perth, AU',
      				appid: 'xxxxxxxxx'
      			}
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'weatherforecast',
      			position: 'top_right',
      			header: 'Weather Forecast',
      			config: {
      	            location: 'Perth, AU',
      				appid: 'xxxxxxx'
      			}
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'newsfeed',
      			position: 'bottom_bar',
      			config: {
      				feedUrl: 'http://www.abc.net.au/news/feed/45910/rss.xml',
      				showPublishDate: true
      			}
      		},
      	]
      
      };
      
      /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
      if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}
      

      This is what I did and it fixed mine…

      {
      			module: 'calendar',
      			header: 'US Holidays',
      			position: 'top_left',
      			config: {
      				calendars: [
      					{
      						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
      						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
      					}
      				]
      			}
      		},
      		{
      			module: 'calendar',
      			header: 'My Schedule',
      			position: 'top_left',
      			config: {
      				calendars: [
      					{
      						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
      						url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xxxxxxxxxgmail.com&ctz=America/New_York'
      					}
      				]
      			}
      		},''
      

      I edited out my email address in the url for obvious reasons but that uses my google calendar to let me see my daily schedule… it works.

    • RE: PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

      @cowboysdude OHHHHHHHHHH and how the heck do you really make the screen blank stop? I’ve tried EVERY method I could find online but the screen still blanks… :(

    • RE: PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

      Even rolling back to node js V5 still results in a white screen. I realize people are saying that it’s a config issue but I’ve tried every combination there is and no go. I read the instructions and followed every letter and still no go.

      I was using the monitor_on.sh and monitor_off.sh files from a different one but I cannot seem to get the pir.py file to work…

      The problem with being new to all of this is that there is so much mis-information out there that you can literally spend hours doing the wrong things…

      I was going to use the @reboot method to run the pir.py but have no way of knowing if it’s even loading because either I have a bad sensor or it’s just not working… it does show up in the crontab but not working…

      On another note honestly I try not getting frustrated because this is fun for me to try and figure out…

      BUT suggestions on how to get the pir.py to run on boot up?

      Huge Thanks for ALL the hard work from everyone!! PS I’ve attached a copy of the pir.py and all files for anyone to take a look at and/or use…

      This is the last thing I need to do to make this all work correctly and I can hang it :)0_1465667815133_PIR.zip

      Thanks again!!!
