what about SimplePIR doesnt work? did you add any issues to the github?

i wrote it so interested to know what doesn’t work, since its currently running on my mirror.

@sdetweil should be done already, figured i would add it here as well.

https://github.com/ryanjblajda/MMM-SimplePIR

A simple PIR module that uses a PIR sensor with a digital output, and it utilizes gpio interrupts to check it. I liked the MMM-Pir module that once existed, but I didnt see an easy way to add a feature that physically turned off a monitor after a specified timeout, as well as blanking the screen. This utilizes the gpio outputs on the Pi to drive buttons intended for use with this RF controlled outlet (https://a.co/d/4hUItyW) [driven by some NPN transistors with current limiting resistors to prevent gpio damage].

The module emits the following notification: MMM_PIR-SCREEN_POWERSTATUS, with a boolean payload of whether the display is on or off. this happens when the display is muted, or physically turned on/off

If the module is visible, it will provide some basic debugging statistics

An example config is shown below: [actually my exact config from my mirror]

{
    module: 'MMM-SimplePIR',
    //position: 'top_left',
    hidden: true,
    config:
    {
        debug: true,            //enables debug printing
        blankScreenTimeout: 1,  //in minutes, when the screen will be blacked out. 
        offScreenTimeout: 60,   //in minutes, when the screen will be physically turned off.
        pirSensorPin: 17,       //where the output of the PIR sensor should be connected
        displayOnPin: 23,       //connect this to either the on button on a display, or to the RF outlet controller [or whatever you want]
        displayOffPin: 24,      //connect this to either the off button on a display, or to the RF outlet controller [or whatever you want]
    }
},

@sdetweil

added to the 3rd party module wiki list under the other PIR modules. github page linked as well.

@sdetweil will do.

@sdetweil i will post my pir module on github tonight. its much more simple, but may work for some as a replacement.

@hrjmsh use MPlayer rather than OMXplayer. thats what i am using [also using bookworm]

@sdetweil right!? my mom actually ordered a tv [unbeknownst to me] and sent it to my house and my front door camera notified me and i was like…i have no memory of ordering a new display…😂

@sdetweil thanks!! happy to have this finished and working. my parents and my in-laws have already requested i build them each one lolol.

and finally complete. painted, occ sensor housing installed. I decided to just hide the button controller inside the wall rather than recess it into the frame housing. realistically i shouldnt need to access it, and theres only 2 screws to remove should i need to.
