Raspberry Pi Display Control Based on Motion (PIR) Sensor

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
