Hi Ralf and Karsten,

Thanks for your support. I tried, but did not work unfortunately. Still the monitor goes on for no reason.

So I switched now to X11, and updated the config file, AND finally it works. Here my command:

{
                  module: “MMM-Universal-Pir”,
                  position: “top_left”,
                  config: {
                        gpioCommand: “/usr/bin/gpiomon -e rising -c 0 22”,
                        //onCommand: “WAYLAND_DISPLAY=‘wayland-1’ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on”,
                        //offCommand: “WAYLAND_DISPLAY=‘wayland-1’ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off”,
                        //onCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on”,
                        //offCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off”,
                        //onCommand: “echo on | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status”,
                        //offCommand: “echo off | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status”,
                        //onCommand: “/usr/local/bin/hdmi-on.sh”,
                        //offCommand: “/usr/local/bin/hdmi-off.sh”,

//X11:
                        onCommand: “xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60”,
                        offCommand: “xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off”,
                        //onCommand: “xrandr --output HDMI-1 --on”,
                        //offCommand: “xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off”,
                        //onCommand: “vcgencmd display_power 1”,
                        //offCommand: “vcgencmd display_power 0”,
                        //onCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-1 --on”,
                        //offCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-1 --off”,

deactivateDelay: 40 * 1000,
                  }
            },
My assumption is that the auto-switch to On of the monitor comes from raspi-connect. With VNC this is not the case. But this is not thoroughly tested, just gut feel.

Maybe a last question you might help me with: with the now working offCommand my VNC window on the PC shrinks to tiny. Any suggestion how to avoid?

Best,

Hobbes aka Dirk

Thanks for the analysis so far. Anything I can test?

Hi All,

I needed to re-setup my MagicMirror, now it runs on Raspi 4 and Debian Trixie 64-bit.

Everything works nicely as before, PIR is on PIN 22 and I use:
{
module: “MMM-Universal-Pir”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
gpioCommand: “/usr/bin/gpiomon -e rising -c 0 22”,
//onCommand: “WAYLAND_DISPLAY=‘wayland-1’ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on”,
//offCommand: “WAYLAND_DISPLAY=‘wayland-1’ wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off”,
onCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on”,
offCommand: “wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off”,
deactivateDelay: 20 * 1000,
}
},
As you can see I experimented already with the commands, now it works fine with “wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on”, and the monitor turns off after 20 seconds if no movement, and turns back on when moving.

Now comes the trick: when turned off, after ca. 1 minute the monitor goes back on and the MM shows “0 sec”. I.e., the HDMI activation did not come from the MM.

I tested the offCommand directly in the Terminal, the monitor goes off, and again after a minute or so goes back on. So this does not come from the MM.

I looked in the settings of the NT68676.2A Controller Board if there is an AutoDetect for HDMI or so, but did not find an entry.

Any idea what I can do? Thanks for your help!

That was actually missing. Thanks for the hint. It works now.

@sandy2503
Same here. I have cloned the files today, and the mirror is black. Any chance I can get the backup, or do you know what changed? I have opened an issue in github as well: MM is black
