I´m playing around with PIR and after reinstalling npm it seems to work.
the only problem is that my monitor is switching on and off every couple of seconds.
do you guys have a picture of how your sensor is setup (Poti, Trigger Jumper)?

thanks a lot!

hi @cowboysdude,

i´m sorry - i thought we are all speaking about the camera based motion detection by @alexyak
https://github.com/alexyak/motiondetector

have a nice sunday!

Hi guys

as it looks that it isn´t an MM problem but an Pi Problem…another try:

sudo nano /etc/kbd/config

change the values to zero

BLANK_TIME=0
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

good luck

Hi @cowboysdude

thank you for your files and the explanation. what i don´t understand is how this all works together with the “Motion Detector” - i would prefere to use a camera instead of a PIR Sensor but as far as i see i have to install the pir.py file which is calling the on&off files and referring to the PIN with the connected PIR sensor.

is there a way to use the on&off files with the “Motion Detector” Module?

Hi @strawberry-3-141!

here is what i have done, actually it works - i will watch it a few days.

switch to /bin/

cd /
cd bin

open nano and create a shell script

sudo nano monitor_on.sh

write the “On” Command in it and save with Ctrl+x

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chat 7

open nano and create another shell script

sudo nano monitor_off.sh

write the “Off” Command in it and save with Ctrl+x

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o

make both shell scripts executable

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh
sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

open the crontab and add the following at the end

switches the monitor off and on every 15 minutes. this is for experimenting, i will look how it works and will set the

time up as.

15 * * * * sudo /bin/monitor_off.sh
15 * * * * sudo /bin/monitor_on.sh
@reboot sudo modprobe bcm2835-vl2

hi @cowboysdude ,

could you please give me (and maybe others) the detailed instruction how these files look in detail and where those are located?

thanks a lot in advance,
Christoph

Hi Strawberry,

Mayen this Uri helps:

I think the value After the Sender is the API key.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi again ;)

found the following:

someone acutally did a lot of work on this in JS here on github. the point is to bring this into an MMM.

Hy Guys,

i would do it for my own but i stoped programming since i left university 10 years ago and i currently don´t have the time to get used to json…
