@Hawking Thank you, that works. Monitor is still not turning off, but that’s one issue off the list :)

Hi, I’m a total noob to all this, but have recently started a project to build a magic mirror. I’ve got MagicMirror setup, and have the modules I want working. Now I’d like to use the motiondetector module, but although it appears to run without any error, the monitor itself is not turning off.

I’ve tested the camera module and that is working, and I can see an image / record video etc. I’ve also tested running the tvservice commands directly and both of these work as expected:

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7

Only change I have made is to the timeout (30000 so I’m not waiting for too long before the screen should turn off).

My config.js has the following entry for motiondetector:

Weird thing is, if I try to have a config section in the config.js with the timeout, and restart MagicMirror, I get an error that the config.js is corrupt. But if I remove the config part, MagicMirror loads without error. MM log below:

Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks…

This looks perfect for what I need - https://github.com/aklambeth/bg-hive-api, but I haven’t a clue how to integrate this into a module. Anyone help?

I am looking to be able to show the current room temperature from my Hive thermostat.

Thanks…
