Do not forget:

The Wifi Power socket itself consumes about 1-2W

I have many of these ^^
You can reduce it by updating the sockets with alternative firmware, but it still consumes 0,5-1W

Just to let you know

@Rec3ptor

If u followed the guide i posted, your PIGPIOD installation path should be “/usr/local/bin/pigpiod”

For autostart when booting u must edit the rc.local. Mine is like this:

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

iwconfig wlan0 power off &

sleep 5 &

/usr/local/bin/pigpiod

sleep 10 &

/usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py &

exit 0

So enter this via ssh:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and just put this into the file:

/usr/local/bin/pigpiod

Hey dude,

sorry for not answering, but i am only rarely here

First i would try to edit the config file:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

try to uncomment “hdmi_force_hotplug=1” and try to uncomment “config_hdmi_boost=4”

maybe play around with some other settings.

Rebooting the pi once a day is not the best solution
But however, if necessary:
http://www.simsalabim-solutions.net/vademecum/raspberry_pi/setting_up_reboot_cron_job_on_pi

In my Case I am using a RGB 5050 Stripe. I am using three pins with mosfets and for the software part PIGPIOD.

Just like that: https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/

Or use an ultrasonic sensor. You could let it measure the distance and if its under a specific value for a specific time it could turn on the monitor

@GermanBluefox

Hello,

i just installed the module and it works so far so good ^^

The only thing is, that no icons appear. Any idea?

This will not work with a simple motion detector. Because “standing” is not “motion”.

Then u would need a light barrier or something like that.

Or u need to shake your body for 6 seconds in front of the mirror XD

Hey mate,

you are using this script.
As i wrote in my post, it was just brainstorming. I never tested this script.

But i can imagine that this will not work… For a Turn_on delay u probably need a loop-function.

But when i read your posts i can’t find, that u need this
So just try the script from the original 1# post

Sure, my pir.py is the same as shown on point 2.2 but with other GPIO used

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import time
import RPi.GPIO as io
import subprocess
import pigpio

io.setmode(io.BCM)
SHUTOFF_DELAY = 119 # seconds
PIR_PIN = 25       # 22 on the board
LED_PIN = 16

def main():
    io.setup(PIR_PIN, io.IN)
    io.setup(LED_PIN, io.OUT)
    turned_off = False
    last_motion_time = time.time()

    while True:
        if io.input(PIR_PIN):
            last_motion_time = time.time()
            io.output(LED_PIN, io.LOW)
            print ".",
            sys.stdout.flush()
            if turned_off:
                turned_off = False
                turn_on()
        else:
            if not turned_off and time.time() > (last_motion_time + 
                                                 SHUTOFF_DELAY):
                turned_off = True
                turn_off()
            if not turned_off and time.time() > (last_motion_time + 1):
                io.output(LED_PIN, io.HIGH)
        time.sleep(.1)

def turn_on():
        subprocess.call("sh /home/pi/lights_on.sh", shell=True)

def turn_off():
        subprocess.call("sh /home/pi/lights_off.sh", shell=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        io.cleanup()

Because i use some LED Stripes which turn on when the pir detects movement my “monitor_on.sh” is called “lights_on.sh”

But what exactly doesn’t work with my script? Maybe i can help

Well, for my solution it is totally necessary to NOT use the PIR-Module. You must use just my external script solution!
Tests i made working fine…

Anyhow… You could try to use clear nail polish.

I used it to cover certain regions and it works
Just paint several layers of the polish over the area u want to cover.

Or play with the sensitivity
