    • 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.

      That’s a great progress, just one more missing to make it 10.
      @lavolp3 or @gdr2404 pls confirm.

    • 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.
      Thanks

      @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.
