Monitor off but not on again

[codac]

I am using your module on a Raspberry Pi 3 and a monitor that does not support CEC. The monitor switches off but afterwards it remains black and wont turn back on, even if there is movement.

Here is my config:

                {
                        module: "MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite",
                        position: "top_center",
                        config: {
                                sensorPin: 23, // GPIO pin
                                commandType: xrandr,
                                title: "Automatic Monitor Standby",
                                showCountDown: true,
                                showDetection: true,
                        }
                },

Any ideas how to fix that?

What is the result of lsb_release -r? And uname -a?

What does using xset (commandType : 'xset' in your config)?

Does xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate normal --auto enable the monitor?

Otherwise commandType: xrandr, is useless in your configuration because it is the default option!

lsb_release -r result: Release: 11

uname -a result: Linux magicmirror 5.15.61-v7+ #1579 SMP Fri Aug 26 11:10:59 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate normal --auto does activate the monitor

I will change the value to xset and see what happens.

sorry did not mean to close the issue yet..

I will change the value to xset and see what happens.

Has that solved the issue?

Did you test your sensor to see if it detected your presence?

It seems that not the commands were the issue, but the screensaver that had to be switched off.
