Automatic turn on screen of tablet using camera

[LePtitNicolas]

Bringing life to an old thread, but I can't get this to work.

I have been searching for a method of waking up android tablets and find most of the same stuff however it doesn't seem to work, trying on 2 different (although identical) samsung galaxy tab tablets.

The combination of Motion Detector + Turn Screen does not work, I get the sound notifications that it has detected motion when the screen is off, however it stays off (security settings are "none" and you can just unlock it with power or home button).

Anyone has a setup that works for this?
The idea is to have the android tablets wall mounted and auto-turn on the screen when you walk around or up to it.

I've got the same problem... sound notifications, but the screen stays off

Any idea ?

Mine works fine for months with that same combo on a tab3 8.0

Don't forget to enable the setting, notification send to yes. I also enabled 'receive'. Signaling can stay off, but may be nice for double checking at first.

for anyone having issues with the turn screen, if you use tasker, you can use the intent from motion detector in tasker to force launch diffrent apps dependsing on time of day...

i use mine to open imperihome at diffrent brightnesses thoughout the day and night...got 2 of them in the house now
