[SOLVED] pir motion detection

[hanspython]

Hi to all

Is there a possibility to make a log file from the pir now everything is on the screen but i want the output in a log file is that possible?

This i my standard:
# HC-SR501 motion sensor
# https://raspberrytips.nl/hc-sr501-beweg ... pberry-pi/


import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
PIN = 26
GPIO.setup(PIN, GPIO.IN)

print "Start sensor..."
time.sleep(2)
print "Sensor alarm geactiveerd let op!.."

while True:
if GPIO.input(PIN):
print "Let op er zijn mensen buiten de afgesproken tijd lokatie Tilburg " + (time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")) This line in a log file

time.sleep(2)
time.sleep(0.1)

I found this youtube video very helpful for this question.

if you run it from the command line you can simply redirect the output to file by appending

Code: Select all

 >> /home/pi/logs/mylogfile.txt

to the end of the program command ie

Code: Select all

$ ./myscript.py >> /home/pi/logs/mylogfile.txt 

edit the path to the file must exist, the file will be created or if it exists be appended to.

Code: Select all

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
logfile = 'log2.txt'

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
PIN = 26
GPIO.setup(PIN, GPIO.IN)

print ("Start sensor...")
time.sleep(2)
print ("Sensor alarm geactiveerd let op!..")

while True:
    if GPIO.input(PIN):
        print ("Let op er zijn mensen buiten de afgesproken tijd lokatie Tilburg " + (time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))) #This line in a log file
        with open(logfile, "a") as file:
            file.write("Let op er zijn mensen buiten de afgesproken tijd lokatie Tilburg " + (time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))+ "\n")

time.sleep(2)
time.sleep(0.1)

Wonderful its working thanks

If i interrupt the program i get this;
File "hcsr501.py", line 22, in <module>
time.sleep(0.1)

How are you interrupting?

If using ctrl&C it's simply showing where it was when you stopped it.
