@sdetweil Ok Sam… again thanks
Dennis

@N6NG I’m guessing it’s mm-Hide-All but can you tie that to the Pir sensor so it hides it with no motion?

@sdetweil And which module is that Sam?

@sdetweil I had the screen blanking off already and I did use you script to install it… It’s not just that the screen goes blank, it’s that the power on the monitor turns off also, so when the screen would wake up because of motion the power is still off on the monitor. I’m thinking it must be something in the monitor setup but I don’t find it… I thought there might be a command to keep the screen alive so the monitor wouldn’t turn off for lack of activity…

I was reading a resolved discussion about his screen turning off after 15min. I’m having the same problem. It was suggest he installs xscreensaver. I looked around for it but there are several versions of xscreensaver. I downloaded and installed the one for Linux but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a special xscreensaver for the RPi ?

@Fozi I’m using the psu that came with the RPi 3B+. I have no extension cables. The only things I have attached is the HDMI monitor, Bluetooth keyboard and the SD chip. I wouldn’t think that would be too much for standard psu I’ll take a look at Amazon and get something with a little more umph. Thanks all for the lessons. Dennis

@sdetweil Where?

I’ve tried 4 different power modules for the Pi 3B+ and no matter which I use, I get the Low voltage warning --Please check you power supply messages. I tied to use a Pi4 supply but which is 3 instead of the 2.5 but that doesn’t fit.
Anyone else see this behavior?
Thanks all mostly Sam

@sdetweil Thanks again… I’ll try to remember “help is my friend”
