@rafhtl can’t access it. Stripped down the monitor in my build a while ago

@rafhtl I was able to achieve this but my monitor stays off after a while and doesn’t come back on. Earlier in the thread I was suggested to just put the monitor to sleep but the code I used came back with errors. I needed help with those lines.

@rafhtl Can you give me more context on where to input this and where it should go?

@wishmaster270 Can you help me out with this?

@sdetweil Did you change it for me, because it looks in the correct format? Any help with the code?

@wishmaster270 I’m using this in the config file but its coming back with an error. What am I doing wrong?

{
        module: 'MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification',
        config: {
            delay: 60,
            hideInsteadShutoff:true,
            }
        }
    }

@wishmaster270 Since the monitor would stay on… would that have any benefits? I can’t access the menu of the monitor due to taking it apart and not knowing where the button to access the menu is located. Thanks for all the assistance and advice, I appreciate it.

@wishmaster270 said in PIR sensor to turn monitor off. Nothing works :(:

@elleclouds Hi, do you see any output of the Gpio module in the log file?

So I got it working with your tutorial. My only issue now is when the monitor doesn’t have a signal it turns completely off and won’t turn back on unless its unplugged and plugged back in. Is there a way to keep the monitor on, just asleep so that the HDMI signal when signaled, activates the screen?

@wishmaster270 got it working with your tutorial but once the monitor goes into sleep mode, after not receiving a signal, it doesn’t turn back on unless I unplug and plug it back in.

@wishmaster270 I’ll follow yours today and report back.
