@sdetweil i’ve already issues those commands during mm setup. Once monitor goes to sleep im unable to even wake it up

I have installed MM a week back it was all fine however since couple of days my monitor goes to sleep mode within minutes of powering on RPi.

Post installing I was playing around with couple of modules but one suspect might be PIR-Sensor though I have it disconnected currently.

My setup to disable sleep mode:

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

Added below part

@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms

I couldn’t find [SeatDefaults] so as a trial I made changes in Seat Configuration and [Seat : *]

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

@cruunnerr My PIR doesn’t trigger or do anything. When I try to execute python script below is the error message.

All of sudden my monitor started going to sleep so I made below changes,

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Add the following lines to the [SeatDefaults] section:

xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms

@tinsebayacc this is the one https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor/blob/master/README.md

That was a helpful thread.

I noticed mine did work couple of times, it is working sporadically not sure what is causing that?

Also, many posts are suggesting to use breadboard why is that? I have never used one so not sure its use. Do you know how can I use same PIR sensor to turn on led lights and which type of led does rpi and pir suport

Quite new to MM and this is me trying first module.

I connected the pins (which I think might be the problem) and added module in config.js too. Now my MM is booting and modules are being displayed but the senor is not turning off the monitor.

I strongly believe the issue might be with the pins I have connected, cause I have zero knowledge about these connections.

If not what else could be the problem?

Hey, it worked for me thanks!

@sdetweil said in Anyone want to try updated installer...:

What kind of pi are u using?

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1

I don’t have to delete/uninstall previous one?

I used the regular method to install

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh

and ran into below error

while searching on google came across this post. Now how do I proceed?

How do I uninstall previous version? and install this?
