@migg although I’m not using an US sensor but a microwave sensor with MMM-PIR-Sensor I read out of curiosity the module description of MMM-Swipe. As I saw, it sends a notification when movement is detected. This notification can be received by MMM-Remote-Control, which can switch the display on. As said, I didn’t dig into this in depth but might be a possibility to achieve what you want.
Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.

RE: MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)
@matefits71 said in MMM-RAIN-MAP:
Basically the forecast are 2h old, it means it’s showing what happen and not what will happen,
Well, MMM-RAIN_MAP is based on the FREE Rainviewer API, which allows the use the radar data of the past.
How do you put the forecast to update for the next 2h?
Forecast is a central feature of RainViewers business model. The forecast function of RainViewer requires for the iOS-app (certainly for the Android app, too) a paid subscription. Thus, I strongly doubt, that someone can use a paid function for free via their API. If I read their basic API information correctly, you don’t even get as a patron or gold member of the paid API, the forecast calculations.
Also, is there any chance to add more fluidity (or fps) to the animation? For exemple the app raintoday (ios) does this perfectly. I’m not sure if we can get there API.
The API provides a radar snap shot every 10 minutes- Thus, you’ll meed to interpolate the precipitation images (intensity, direction, accuracy, etc.) which is not a trivial task and needs -depending on the used method and number of interpolations- quite some computational resources. which might not be available on an RPi.

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@lavolp3 Ah…now I got you.
There are two options to reduce the sensor range:
Option 1: The aluminum taped “Magic Box” like described here.
Option 2: Replacing a resistor on the sensor to reduce the sensor range.I haven’t yet tried option2, as I’m waiting for some parts to do it. As soon as I got them I’ll test that option and will give feedback. For the time beeing, I just can make a statement for option 1, which requires no additional resistor.
Maybe there is also an option 3, a combination of option 1 and 2…we’ll see.

RE: Using an Ultrasonic sensor with MMM-PIR-Sensor power-saving functionality
Following the description of MMM-NearCompliments, MMM-PIR-Sensor has to be installed, too, if you intend to use the powersaving function. See the options ‘usePIR’ and ‘powerSavingDelay’
usePIR Should we use PIR sensor to activate only distance measurment when USER_PRESENCE notification is sent by MMM-PIR-Sensor?
Possible values: boolean
Default value: falsepowerSavingDelay Power saving delay in seconds defined in MMM-PIR-Sensor. It gets overwritten by MMM-PIR-Sensore module and is only defined for backup purpose.
Possible values: int
Default value: 30 -

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@cowboysdude I‘m totally happy that I cold help and to receive so positive feedback! I love it when a plan works!😁 Thanks!
This T-shaped holder, is it 3D-printed or an off-the-shelf available part? It‘s totally cool! -
RE: Pages automaticly go back to main page
@rxlDavid the latest MMM-pages release has now a new option called
rotationFirstPage
You can determine in ms when the first page should come up. I use this to let MM revert to the first page where a Text Clock is displayed like a kind of screen saver. To swipe to the other pages I use GroveGestures or Alexa-Control.
