When the pir.py isn’t running, then it isn’t this script which turns on your monitor.
Do you have the MM-PIR module active?

Please try to edit your rc.local and delete the autostart of the pir.py to see, if the monitor still turns on/off when there is movement.

if not, then the pkill command isn’t working, which would confuse me, because i just tried it by myself on my mirror.
via ssh i just entered the sudo pkill $(ps aux | grep python pir.py | awk '{ print $2 }')" command and my pir wasn’t working.

---

and to your first problem, which u solved by yourself…

u could also try to edit the killpir.py to this:

#!/bin/bash
sudo pkill $(ps aux | grep python pir.py | awk '{ print $2 }')

then u should be able to just let your cronjob look like:
0 21 * * * root /home/pi/killpir.sh

cron will start the pir.py in background. The scenario will be like:

Boot up magic mirror = starts pir.py via rc.local
at 21pm = stops pir.py via cron
at 7am = starts pir.py via cron

from this on the circle is closed and cron will repeat this every day (in background)
well… i think so… maybe i am wrong :/

When u reboot the mirror between 21pm and 7am the pir.py will be active for sure until the next 21pm will be reached … ;)

edit:
it would also be possible to implement a while-loop in the pir.py script to check if it is between 21pm and 7am.
But i never worked with that yet -.-

maybe u can get what u want here or here or here

@Maros

Glad u got it working. :)

So u use the script from point 2.2 ?

Then u could kill the pir.py at 9pm and start at 7am via cronjob. With that u were able to define each day for itself :)

The command to kill the pir.py script is

sudo pkill $(ps aux | grep python pir.py | awk '{ print $2 }')

So the easiest way is to just edit your crontab. Try it like this:

1. nano killpir.sh

2. Write this into file and save with CTRL+X and Yes

sudo pkill $(ps aux | grep python pir.py | awk '{ print $2 }')

3. chmod +x killpir.sh

4. sudo nano /etc/crontab

5. Write this into file and save with CTRL+X and Yes:

0 21 * * * /usr/bin/sh /home/pi/killpir.sh
0 7 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py

So for example your crontab looks like this:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
0 21    * * *   root    /usr/bin/sh /home/pi/killpir.sh
0 7     * * *   root    /usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py
#

Didn’t try this solution at all, but hope/think this works :)

I would be glad about a feedback ;)

If i google “deserializer.cc” i get a link to the git of chromium.

so maybe your chromium installation is broken.

Did u use the automatic installer or not?

Maybe you should delete the MagicMirror folder in your home dictionary and try this if u use a raspberry pi:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

And u should read this carefully:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

Aaaaaand u should edit your post as MadScientist said ;)

@sean said in MMM-NOAA V2 doesn't start (Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0):

request({
url: “http://ip-api.com/json”,
method: ‘GET’
}, (error, response, body) => {
console.log(body) // Try logging suspicious point.
info = JSON.parse(body);
lat = info.lat;
lon = info.lon;
});

OMG thank you so much…

I am a dumbass XD
My PiHole blocked the ip-api.com domain, so i put this to the whitelist and its running.

Sorry guys

Hey guys,

last time I did not let myself be seen often ^^
But i never left u at all ;)

Now i have a Problem and need your help guys :(

I installed a little linux server a few months ago for managing several things. And now its time to install MM in server mode i thought.

Lubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) on x86 Hardware
node v8.10.0
npm v6.3.0
MM v2.4.1

What i did:

• I downloaded all modules i used on my raspberry and installed them like the readme says
• I copied my RPi config.js and used it on the linux server

Most modules are working, but:

MMM-NOAA and MMM-RemoteControl are giving errors -.-

So I have several issues but lets start with NOAA ^^

While doing npm install in the NOAA folder i get this error:

chris@ioBroker:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NOAA$ npm install

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

From now on i can’t figure out whats the problem…
Line 77 in the NOAA node_helper checks the current position and when i type “http://www.ip-api.com/json” in my browser i get a result beginning with:

{"as":"AS3320 Deutsche Telekom AG", etc.....

So why is he saying Position 0 in JSON is a SyntaxError

Anyone have an idea?

Thank u guys

Edit:

Oh ehm… here the config snippet:

{
			disabled: false,
			module: 'MMM-NOAA',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {

				apiKey: "XXX",
				airKey: "XXX",    // IF you want Air Quality Index
				pws: "XXX"       
				}
			},

And yes, i used the new API from weatherbit

Not much time, so here comes just a short think…

1. You have two cogs on the pir. Move the time delay completely left or right (so it will just give a very short impulse).

2. Set the Shutoff-delay in the script to 5 seconds (just to try)

3. Try another GPIO…

4. try a pull-up or pull-down resistor like used at thy button-method

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6291/howto-turn-on-off-your-monitor-time-based-pir-button-app?page=1

take a look at point 5.2 ;)

u can define a delay time

Hey mate,

the way that will work in every case is to use a relay to interrupt the voltage for the pir.
Then write two little bash files and execute them via cronjob.

---

turn on relay with GPIO 7 and give the PIR voltage:

gpio mode 7 out
gpio write 7 1

turn off the relay with GPIO 7 and interrupt the PIR voltage:

gpio mode 7 out
gpio write 7 0

---

otherwise u could use if statement with a datetime check within the python script. something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10048249/how-do-i-determine-if-current-time-is-within-a-specified-range-using-pythons-da/10048290

If i find some time, i will try to adjust the python script from this tutorial…

@blebbens said in {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App):

Thanks for this tutorial…

I am using a PIR. The monitor switches on immediately after detection of motion. I am looking for an option to switch on the monitor if a person stands in front of it for 10 seconds. Mine is a floor mirror, so some people are crossing the floor many times a day without looking at the mirror.

If u use the external PIR script (point 2.2) u could try to change line 25 in the script and define a TURNON-DELAY.

if turned_off and time.time() >= TURNON_DELAY:

The whole script would look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

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

io.setmode(io.BCM)
SHUTOFF_DELAY = 120 # in seconds, how long the monitor will be on until next button press or PIR detection
TURNON_DELAY = 10
PIR_PIN = 22       # 15 on the board (this needn't to be a PIR. Can be a button also)
LED_PIN = 16      # optional, don't use as Relay-PIN. It just shows detection time of the PIR without delay time

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 and time.time() >= TURNON_DELAY:
                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/monitor_on.sh", shell=True)

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

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

Don’t know if it will work. Just brainstorming cause i haven’t much time
