MM-PIR-motion-poweron

This powersaving program starts automatically the RaspberryPi. It use a PIR-Sensor which triggers the booting pin to start the MagicMirror. After a waiting time the MM shutdown for power saving.

Requirements

Connect your PIR-Sensor to the Pin 3 of Your RaspberryPI. An BD137 Transistor inverts the Signal for the Interrupt to start the RP. Raspberry Pi try reading the output from the PIR motion sensor. The sensor outputs a digital HIGH (5V) signal when it detects a person.

Installation

Just clone the files into a new directory Powermanagement .

mkdir Powermanagement
git clone https://github.com/ChrisBaehrig/MM-PIR-motion-poweron.git

Integrate Powermanagement to System

1. Give permissions for run:

   chmod +x time-shutdown.py
   

2. Crete Batch for PM2 command:

   cd ~
   nano timeshut.sh
   

3. Write into file following command:

   sudo pm2 start time-shutdown.py
   

4. Save with crtl + o and close crtl + x
5. Give permissions for run:

   chmod +x time-shut.sh
   

Add to PM2 for autostart

1. Start PM2:

   pm2 start time-shut.sh
   

2. Save to PM2:

   pm2 save
   

3. Check PM2 tasks:

   pm2 monit
   

   and

   sudo pm2 monit
   

Stop autostart:

pm2 stop time-shut
sudo pm2 stop time-shutdown.py
