@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.

@bhepler can you link me?

I have followed every tutorial to no avail. I’m using the MMM PIR module and followed the instructions detailed. Can anyone please help me? Is there a way in terminal I can make sure the sensor isn’t a dud?

The monitor will not turn off

I am a noobie, but I feel like I followed most of the instructions I’ve found online on how to get this to work, but I’m still having some issues of actually getting the mirror to turn of or on. I keep getting the error in terminal when I run motion : vid_v4lx_start: Failed to open video device /dev/video: No such file directory.

I’d greatly appreciate a video or help with set up… A youtube video would save me time and troubleshooting something that may be simple.

@sdetweil Can this script be used with a raspberry pi camera? I want my mirror to wake and sleep upon detection from camera. It there a step by step for a noob as myself?

Can this use a Nest Smoke Detector’s motion detecting as a trigger to activate SleepWake?
