@komodoteler I’ll try again once I get off work, but i know I did chmod on pir.py and I currently have it in rc.local but I don’t currently have the “&” after it’s entry. When I looked at the first post it says to put it there but doesn’t display it in the code section.

Updated: Added the “&” still didn’t work, so I replaced the pir.py script that I was previously using and all seems to be great now. thanks again for the help.

Hey, so I’ve been trying to get this working over the past few days using method 2.2 (pir script) I’ve verified that monitor_on/off.sh works as they should as does pir.py when run from terminal. The problem seems to be that I’m unable to get the script to auto start on boot. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
