Motion Sensor Display Control¶
Python script to control connected display to Raspberry Pi using Motion Sensor (pir).
Information¶
This script uses pin GPIO4(7) to read data from Motion (PIR) Sensor, Any 5v and ground for PIR Sensor
Requirements¶
- python3-gpiozero
Can be install via apt
sudo apt install python3-gpiozero
Install¶
This will install the script as service and it will run at boot
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fire1ce/raspberry-pi-pir-motion-display-control/main/install.sh | bash
Uninstall¶
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fire1ce/raspberry-pi-pir-motion-display-control/main/uninstall.sh | bash
Default Behavior¶
| Condition | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Motion while display is off | Turns on display for 60 sec |
| Motion while display is on | Resets the timer for another 60 sec |
| No motion > 60 sec | Turns off the display |
Config¶
File
/usr/local/bin/motion-display-control.py
You can change Data Pin of the PIR Sensor at gpio_pin value You can change Delay at display_delay value
Line
motion = Motion(gpio_pin=4, display_delay=60, verbose=False)
Restart the service to apply changes
sudo systemctl restart power_button.service
Debug¶
In order to allow verbose debug change the following
File
/usr/local/bin/motion-display-control.py
Line
Set verbose value to True
motion = Motion(gpio_pin=4, display_delay=60, verbose=True)
Restart the service to apply changes
sudo systemctl restart motion-display-control.service
Check if service is running¶
sudo systemctl status motion-display-control.service
