    • RE: PIR sensor not working after installation

      I’m having the same issue. Should the screensaver be off? I did the original config;

      sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
      
      add the following lines:
      
      @xset s noblank
      @xset s off
      @xset -dpms
      
      sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
      
      add the following lines:
      
      xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms
      

      but the screen was still blanking after 10-15 minutes so I installed xscreensaver to get around this. I’ve now taken xscreensaver off, so the screen is blanking after inactivity again, but MM doesn’t seem to recognize the PIR. I get the same results of ‘Motion Detected’ when running a .py test from the OS.
