For those unsuccessfully trying to put the monitor to sleep and wake up with PIR, are you running MM on pi4 with Rapsberian?
I never managed to get this combination to work. Instead I did succeed with Lubuntu on pi4.
Currently I have working PIR on pi3 with Rapsberian. No issue with this one.
Just the pi4 is so different and worse to configure sleep/wakeup.
Ok. I want to change the dimension on my order. Treat my line as confirmed now.
Thanks

@Goldjunge_Chriz just checking, these conditions still apply including minimum surface 0.4square meter?

Ok.
So, for a pi4 I managed to get PIR waking up MM screen with these steps:
# Enabling automatic login
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = yourusername
[Desktop Entry]
Name=motion
Exec=sudo gpio-watch -e rising 4
This way I got pi4 waking up with PIR sensing. Not ideal setup but it works.
I spent too much time trying to get pi4 work properly with Rapsberian, I simply had too many issues with it.
At the end I am using pi3 for my first production MM and the pi4 is waiting for the next project.
Ok @Sean understand the drawbacks of MM structure and thanks for all the work on this module.
It was just a thought if its possible. I will live with use of two modules :)
@cowboysdude scripts works fine with my pi3.
It seems pi4 has different way of putting a monitor to sleep, I never figured out how to do it on pi4.
Instead, I tested lubuntu on pi4 and managed to put it out of sleep with this mouse click script linked to PIR motion:
xdotool click 1
I can share more details on lubuntu setup if needed.
Thanks @cowboysdude for the tips. I was more thinking of having two instances of MMM-News module because I like its ability to show a small pic. But multiple uses of MMM-News doesn’t seem to work :/.
Instead, I combined two modules and now have two different feeds working, the second one just without a picture.
Excellent module, works great.
I do have a question. I don’t see all the icons :/ how can I fix this?
Count me in as well please.

Excellent stuff @Mykle1!!! Thanks for adding 24hr time config option.
