Primary LanguageJavaScript

MMM-PIR-Sensor

This an extension for the MagicMirror. It can monitor a PIR motion sensor and put your mirror to sleep if nobody uses it by turning off HDMI output or by turning off the mirror via a relay.

Installation

  1. Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git. A new folder will appear navigate into it.
  2. Execute npm install to install the node dependencies.
  3. Add your user (pi?) to the gpio group by executing sudo usermod -a -G gpio pi.
  4. Execute sudo chmod u+s /opt/vc/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s /bin/chvt to allow turning on/off the hdmi output.
  5. Reboot your Pi.

Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

modules: [
	{
		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	}
]

Configuration Options

The following properties can be configured:

Option Description
sensorPin The pin your PIR-sensor is connected to.

Possible values: int
Default value: 22
Note: Please use BCM-numbering.
sensorState Invert the GPIO-state that triggers user presence. For example, a 0 value would tell the mirror to trigger user presence when the GPIO pin receives 0 value.

Possible values: int (0 or 1)
Default value: 1
powerSaving Should the monitor be turned off if no user is present? (via HDMI or relay)

Possible values: boolean
Default value: true
powerSavingDelay Additional software side delay (in seconds) before the monitor will be turned off.

Possible values: int
Default value: 0
relayPin If you want to use a relay to turn of the mirror provide the pin here. If no pin is provided HDMI is turned off instead.

Possible values: int
Default value: false
Note: Please use BCM-numbering.
relayState GPIO-state your relay is turned on.

Possible values: int (0 or 1)
Default value: 1
alwaysOnPin If you would like to use a GPIO pin to trigger power-saving mode. Ideal for users who want to have a physical switch that controls whether or not to use the motion sensor.

Possible values: int
Default value: false
Note: Please use BCM-numbering.
alwaysOnState GPIO-state to trigger always-on.

Possible values: int (0 or 1)
Default value: 1
alwaysOffPin If you would like to use a GPIO pin to trigger sleep mode. Ideal for users who want to have a physical switch to shut off the screen (perhaps the mirror is too bright at night).

Possible values: int
Default value: false
Note: Please use BCM-numbering.
alwaysOffState GPIO-state to trigger always-off.

Possible values: int (0 or 1)
Default value: 1
powerSavingNotification To display a notification before to switch screen off

Possible values: boolean
Default value: false
Note: Need the default module "alert" to be declared on config.js file.
powerSavingMessage Message notification to display before to switch screen off

Default value: "Monitor will be turn Off by PIR module"
preventHDMITimeout When powerSaving is On: time, in minutes, after which- while HDMI is off- the screen will be briefly turned on and off again, periodically. This is to avoid older HDMI screens from automatically turning Off due to "No Signal".
Possible values: 0-10
Default value: 0
Note:0 value means that this feature is turned off.
supportCEC When powerSaving is On: support CEC to turn monitor ON or OFF as well, not just the HDMI circuit in the RPI.
Possible values: boolean
Default value: false
presenceIndicator When module position is defined, thus it is visible, display an indicator when USER_PRESENCE is detected.
Possible values: Font Awesome icons [See here](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery)
Default value: fa-bullseye
Note: Not displayed if set to null
presenceIndicatorColor The color of presenceIndicator, if defined.
Possible values: color value
Default value: red
Note: presenceIndicator is not displayed if this parameter is set to null
presenceOffIndicator When module position is defined, thus it is visible, display an indicator when USER_PRESENCE is not detected.
Possible values: Font Awesome icons [See here](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery)
Default value: null
Note: Not displayed if set to null
presenceOffIndicatorColor The color of presenceOffIndicator, if defined.
Possible values: color value
Default value: dimgray
Note: presenceOffIndicator is not displayed if this parameter is set to null
runSimulator Turn on a simulator that will send USER_PRESENCE ON every 20 seconds, and USER_PRESENCE OFF one second after that.
This is handy when you want to work on the configuration of the mirror without having to stand up in front of it in order to test.
Possible values: boolean
Default value: false
Note: Don't forget to turn this one off when using the actual IR sensor!

Example

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

modules: [
	{
		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', 
		position: "top_center", // Remove this line to avoid having an visible indicator
		config: {
			sensorPin: 23,
			powerSavingDelay: 60, // Turn HDMI OFF after 60 seconds of no motion, until motion is detected again
			preventHDMITimeout: 4, // Turn HDMI ON and OFF again every 4 minutes when power saving, to avoid LCD/TV timeout
			supportCEC: true, 
			presenceIndicator: "fa-eye", // Customizing the indicator
			presenceOffIndicator: "fa-eye", // Customizing the indicator
			presenceIndicatorColor: "#f51d16", // Customizing the indicator
			presenceOffIndicatorColor: "#2b271c" // Customizing the indicator
		}
	}
]

Developer Notes

This module broadcasts a USER_PRESENCE notification with the payload beeing true or false you can use it to pause or disable your module.
