@Lipax said in UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.:

hello,
i tried this with the microwave sensor, but im out of ideas. i get wrong positives every minute. (i check every 5 sec).
i added also the ferrite, tried another raspberry, different of these sensors (bought a 5 pack) and placed it in a different room. anyone got any ideas what else i could try?
or maybe similar microwave sensors i could try?

any help would be great, tyvm

Did you try and limit the range as described in beginning of this thread? For me option 2 helped to limit oversensitivity.

@Feedy88 it can be done easy by flipping the GPIO detection.
I use crontab with simple command. During the specified night time my MM does not turn on the screen. In morning the sensor starts to work again. If that’s what you are trying to achieve let me know and I can share details.

It really depends on pir sensor quality and it’s sensitivity setting. I tried several pir sensors and all of them produced too many false triggers.
At the end I switched to using a microwave sensor which never gives me false detection.

@boehmch thanks, this is helpful yes.

Great project 👍. Can you share more about the LCD board being used?

Which rPi are you using?

@cowboysdude ideally I would like to specify the date/time format, like on a stock MM Clock module.

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to format “LastPresence” output? Default is a full date and time in one line however I would like to change the format of the output. Don’t see any config option to format it…

@mumblebaj thats good to know. Thanks for the suggestion, I cloned the latest version and it works. I don’t see MMM-News mentioned in errors log anymore. Good work :call_me_hand:

@sdetweil sure thing. Will send you over. I still have your email address from some other thing you helped me with.
