Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.
- I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces – so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
- I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don’t think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).
Much simpler than that - The motion sensors are zigbee and integrated with HomeAssistant. I have a HA automation that sends a REST call to a webservice I wrote on the PI that then just needs to write 1 or 0 to /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power.
Do you know what the chip of the PIR is? How many false positives do you get?
It’s one of these. I don’t know the chip but I haven’t had any issues with false positives. If anything they’re slightly under sensitive, but not enough to be a deal breaker for my purposes.
