@Mikgabo said in Help! Probem using PIR Sensor on raspberry pi zero to turn on/off screen:

My major problem is getting my PIR sensor to function properly. I have it working properly on a pi3 but not the zero.
What code did u use for your PIR?

for the Pi Zero use the PIR script from @cruunnerr --> point 2.2 Using PIR script

maybe this is helpful

The very important thing is, that your monitor supports HDMI-CEC or ARC. Otherwise u will not be able to turn it on or off via HDMI.
To reassure you, most monitors do this ;)
To check if it works just go into terminal via ssh and type:

sudo tvservice -o to turn off
sudo tvservice -p to turn on

edit: for some monitors the following commands work better. Please use them if your monitor needs it:

vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off
vcgencmd display_power 1 to turn on

then a little excitement, add the starter configuration to rpi_install_kalliope.sh, and let the user during the installation choose which language he wants to install

@goncalovsc do not give up so fast

on which system (RPi 2/3 / ZERO) should it be installed, where do you fail, some more information would be helpful

you have to install first and then start with npm install && npm start
