@sdetweil
I have already tried your advice but it didn’t work.
The strange thing is that if I launch the two modules together, only MMM-NewsFeed starts.
If I start them individually then the MMM-NewsFeed2 works too.
When launched together, MMM-NewsFeed always prevails, not allowing the execution of MMM-NewsFeed2.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to duplicate the MMM-NewsFeed module because I would like to call it twice from the MMM-Pages module.
The guides on the forum have had no effect, the module is not loaded.

Can you help me?

Thanks as always.

@MMRIZE said in RPI 4 hibernation:

Impossible. None of the Raspberry Pis has had a “sleeping” or “hibernating” mode.
And Pi itself has no feature to wake up by time or WOL. So you may need additional h/w like a smart outlet or HAT (e.g. wittyPi) for controlling power externally,

… but in any case when it is switched on again I should restart everything (MM, etc …).

@MMRIZE said in RPI 4 hibernation:

and their price is higher than the saving amount from Pi.

that’s for sure…but if you think so you wouldn’t do many things…

Hello everybody,
given the energy/climate problems of the planet, I was wondering: is there a way to “hibernate” the RPI? I know the energy saving is little…but everything does…

I was thinking of an automatism that after a certain time switches off the RPI and switches on again after another time that can always be configureable.
When it is off it should remain in a state of “hibernation” and then resume the same tasks when it restarts.

It would be possible? Has anyone already thought about it?

Thank you all!

@sdetweil said in Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror:

@Egnos all ecobee have motion detection in their thermostat and room sensors. that’s how they know the room is occupied… and could be used in temp averaging.

Ah ok!
Does the HUB for these sensors do the thermostat?
What module do you use?

Thanks

@sdetweil said in Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror:

no, it’s vendors protecting their data, regardless of what the users want…
I have ecobee, w motion sensors… why should I need another motion sensor?

Motion sensor?!
Is the HUB done by the thermostat for all Ecobee sensors?
Which module do you use for Ecobee?

@Jimminy said in Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror:

You might want to have a look at https://tinyurl.com/WiFi-Temp-7-Humidity-Sensor. I have one on order so will have to wait and see if it does as advertised.

The link takes me to the “home” of AliExpress, could you put the correct link?
How do you think to share the info of this sensor with MM?

@BKeyport said in Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror:

the outdoor sensors is actually not connected to anything. Solar powered, wireless to it’s controller, which then is connected to my network and uploaded to a website to create the panel.

So they can be physically not connected to the RPI.
Could you tell me the type of sensor and how it connects (power supply, WiFi, etc …)?
How do you bring the information of these external sensors on the local network and then in the browser?

Thank you all for valuable information! :folded_hands:

Thank you very much @BKeyport and I find your environment very ingenious!
I was looking for something less complex, the sensors you mentioned must still be connected to Arduino/RPI…if I’m not mistaken!

I was hoping there were temperature sensors that would connect to Google Home and some module was able to take this information and display it on the MM.
But I think it’s science fiction! ;-)

@JoeFranz said in PIR sensor problem after restart Raspi:

I did it according to this guide (in German) have the same pir sensor as in the guide.

Have you checked that the PIR is on the correct pins of the GPIO?

Hello everybody,
I would like to know the temperature/humidity in 3 points of the house (one also outside).
Could you recommend both the WiFi sensor and the module to be used on MM?

If it can be useful soon I should buy a NEST Audio …

Thank you all.

@JoeFranz have you tried to run the two modules following this guide written by @wishmaster270 ?
https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications/blob/master/examples/HC-SR501/HC-SR501-GPIO4-README-EN.md

Which PIR sensor do you have?

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

@Egnos ok got it.
what I was saying is that the
MMM-PIR-???
modules, if you use them, THEY send the USER_PRESENCE notification
the GPIO_Notifcations module is more generic and can send notifications for ANY gpio device

Ok ok, I just wanted to be sure that, in my case, the MMM-GPIO-Notifications module sends the “USER_PRESENCE” notification.
I knew that the module I am using is a collector of GPIO devices…

Thanks @sdetweil

@JoeFranz I can recommend these two modules for the PIR (I just installed them, they also work with the S.O. bullseye):

MMM-GPIO-Notifications: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications
MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

u don’t need the GPIO_Notifications module. as the PIR modules send the USER_PRESENCE notification:

The module I use for sending notifications when the PIR detects motion is MMM-GPIO-Notifications
I believe he is sending the “USER_PRESENCE” notification:

notifications: [
            {
              notification: 'USER_PRESENCE',
              payload: true
            },

Thanks for your patience @sdetweil ! ;-)

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

use my updated fork…
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-PiLights
it responds to the PIR modules USER_PRESENCE notification (true = turn on, false = turn off)
if lights are off and on is sent, it will restore the previous sequence set with the normal
SEQUENCE notification

Thanks @sdetweil

Let’s see if I understand:

• By default the LEDs will be off, until the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module detects something.
• If the PIR detects the movement the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module will send the notification USER_PRESENCE = true and the LEDs will turn on
• After some time without movement the “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” module will send the notification USER_PRESENCE = false and the LEDs will turn off

Correct?

I’m not a developer, but I’m still trying to understand your change in the code:

else if (notification === ' USER_PRESENCE'){
            if(payload == false){
                this.leds.allOFF();
            } else {
                // user present, restore the last active sequence
                Promise.resolve(this.runSequence(this.lastSequence.sequence, thi,lastSequence.iterations,this.lastSequence.delay)
                .catch((err) => {
                    this.log('user present Sequence error: ' + err.message);
                }));

why can’t I see this notification in the code?

(notification === ' USER_PRESENCE'){
            if(payload == true){
                this.leds.allON();
            }

Thanks again!

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

but this module rpi-leds, only toggles the leds ON the pi board… not led strip…

Maybe this module could fit https://github.com/jc21/MMM-PiLights, using SPI and a LPD8806 or WS2801 LED strip.

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

if u can find one that works the ed strip with a python command, then we can make that work

It appears to respond to notifications:

this.sendNotification('PILIGHTS_SEQUENCE', 'blue_pulse');

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

that led module can only on/off/ or blink

At the moment I could be satisfied … but it does not seem that the module proposed by you can receive notifications.

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

what actions would u like the LEDs to do on notification? and what would u think the notification ID string should be?

Initially it would be enough to turn on the LEDs at the same time as the monitor is turned on and turn them off when the monitor is turned off.

For the notification I believe that the module that manages the LEDs should respond to a notification such as “LightOn-White” and “LightOff-White” generated by the module that manages the PIR sensor variations.
I hope I haven’t said too many wrong things … 🤞

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

that could be added pretty easily

The problem is that I don’t have the skills to program. I understand something … but not enough … unfortunately

@sdetweil said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

@Egnos from the 3rd party modules list, maybe

This module https://github.com/idoodler/MMM-RPI-LED it seems it cannot be controlled with notifications.

Hello everybody,
I am moving forward with my MM project and was wondering if it would be possible to activate an LED strip when the PIR sensor detects motion.

In particular, I use the following modules for the PIR:
MMM-GPIO-Notifications: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications
MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification

Is there a module capable of controlling an LED strip using notifications?
Perhaps using the notifications of the module “MMM-GPIO-Notifications” …

Thank you all.
