When my MMM-PIR-Sensor actives, I want a small delay (to wait for the screen to display) followed by a compliment GIF (nice to see you!):

These would be picked at random like the compliments module and then faded out.

MMM-ImagesPhotos would be a good fit if it could be activated with a notification and then faded out after an amount of time that was configurable.

I figured it out. There are missing brackets for the if statement. In node_helper.js:

From:

        if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
          exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);

To:

        if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1){
          exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
       }

@SvenSommer your link just links to this thread. I am guessing you were trying to link to github?

Can someone help shed some light on this piece of code in the MMM-PIR-Sensor module? In the node_helper.js there is:

      // Check if hdmi output is already on
      exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s").stdout.on('data', function(data) {
        if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
          exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);

I understand what it is doing. It is checking if the monitor is in standby [TV is off] and if so then it turns it on. This bit of code also executes when the monitor is on though which is the part that I am having trouble with. I understand that 0x120002 is what tvservice reports when the monitor is off. I don’t understand the!== -1

Any help? I would like to change the logic so it doesn’t execute that line when the monitor is on (0x12000a)

The answer to my question is to add the sendNotification line in the MMM-PiLights.js as follows:
From:

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if (notification === "USER_PRESENCE"){
			this.sendNotification(notification, payload)
		}

To:

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if (notification === "USER_PRESENCE"){
			this.sendNotification(notification, payload);
                        this.sendNotification('PILIGHTS_SEQUENCE', 'blue_pulse');
		}

Unfortunately I have realized that I want to do something more elaborate then the PiLights module allows so instead I am now calling a python script instead.

Has anyone successfully used the

this.sendNotification('PILIGHTS_SEQUENCE', 'blue_pulse');

trigger in the MMM-Pilights or similar in the MMM-Sounds module?

I would like to turn on some LEDs when the PIR turns on my monitor. I plan on back lighting my mirror with LEDs. According to the MMM-PiLights documentation the above snipit of code should turn them on. Any help with where to insert the above code in the MMM-PIR-Sensor module would be greatly appreciated.

FYI - for those that are reading this in the future, make sure that your power supply ground is grounded to the RPi ground. That tripped me up.

Does anyone know if APA102 (or DOTSTAR) can be used without modification of the code?

Did anyone resolve this? I am having the same issue.

Where do the jokes come from?
