Thanks for this module, it works great!

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
Update on my MM setup. I finally took the time and now I have a working microwave sensor using the MMM-NewPIR module to automatically turn off and on LCD screen. For testing, I set the trimpot to 160ohms and it works ok through the normal glass. And this is all working on pi4 (2GB ram) using Rapsberrian. I have no clue why now all the sudden pi4 works just fine. Last week when I was testing I gave up :).
Anyway, so far good and happy with the setup. Now waiting for mirror glass and then setting up the sensor sensitivity and assembly.

Getting excited :P
@Goldjunge_Chriz what’s our next step?

That’s a great progress, just one more missing to make it 10.

RE: PIR sensor to turn monitor off. Nothing works :(
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.

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

RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
Ok.
So, for a pi4 I managed to get PIR waking up MM screen with these steps:- Install latest Lubuntu with gdm3 environment
- Edit /etd/gdm3/custom.conf. This will set autologin so that desktop environment loads every reboot
# Enabling automatic login AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = yourusername
- Follow these steps to create wakeup script https://www.ketzler.de/2017/12/exit-screensaver-on-raspberry-pi-with-motion-sensor/
- Create file “/etc/xdg/autostart/motion.desktop” with the following contents. This runs PIR sensing in the background after every reboot
[Desktop Entry] Name=motion Exec=sudo gpio-watch -e rising 4
- Set screensaver blank screen to desired timeout, 1min in my case. Lubutu knows how to handle pi4 blanking and puts to sleep my hdmi monitor
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. -
RE: MMM-News
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 :) -
RE: UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.
@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.
