I created a website to view the photos created by motion but don't use it
to manipulate them.

I also have a simple "wrapper" page around the motion feed.

'm working on using a pi/official 7" touch screen with chromium-browser in
kiosk mode to run screens to control my Home Automation system. I am trying
to configure the pi camera with motion to wake the screen saver instead of
touching the screen but am having no luck making it happen.
>From the command line via ssh , I can issue the command *DISPLAY=:0.0 xset
dpms force on* to wake the screensaver, but it does not work issuing the
command from either the on_event_start trigger or the or the
on_motion_detected trigger. I have tried the command directly from
motion.conf as well as including it in a bash script. Both methods work
from the command line, but not from motion.
It is not a permissions issue. I have a directory with the the ownership
motion:motion that house the scripts, and if I change the value of the
trigger to *>/motion/trigger* it will dutifully create an empty file in
that directory.
Can anyone shed any new light to this issue?

Just guessing I'm afraid.
Could be you are loosing that environment variable
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset dpms force on
sleep 10 # give it time to happen before exiting the bash script
Or maybe it could be the path to xset is not in the environment when
called from motion. So put in the path to xset. I don't have it installed
on my pi's so I don't know what it is.
/full/path/to/xset dpms force on

Use latest 4.3.2 version and run motion with -d 9 logging to see if your
script is being executed
