Kiosk System

Aktivierung des Monitors

Damit der Monitor nicht ständig Strom verbraucht, wenn niemand anwesend ist, wird ein Bewegungssensor an den RaspberryPi des Monitors angeschlossen. Sobald dieser eine Bewegung erkennt wird der Monitor aktiviert (MonitorActivation).

Requirements

sudo apt install chromium x11-xserver-utils unclutter

Autologin

The Raspberry Pi should auto log in by default, but if not you can check the setting for that by running sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and looking for: autologin-user=pi

Always use HDMI output

Add these two lines to /boot/config.txt:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2

hdmi_force_hotplug=1 to use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected. hdmi_drive=2 to use normal HDMI mode (Sound will be sent if supported and enabled). Without this line, the Raspberry would switch to DVI (with no audio) mode by default.

Preventing screen blanking

edit ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:

@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
@point-rpi

# screensaver starten
@xscreensaver -no-splash

# disable HDMI output if screensaver gets active or enable HDMI if screensaver gets deactivated
@alarmMonitor/kiosk/MonitorActivation/hdmioff.sh

# Motion detection to activate monitor
@alarmMonitor/kiosk/MonitorActivation/pir_monitor.sh
