Re: PIR problem

I have also been experiencing similar problems with my PIR sensor since upgrading to Bullseye. After trying numerous modules, I inquired about suggestions for updated modules that have been known to work with Bullseye and posted a request in the forum (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17810/pir-sensor-for-raspbian-11). It seems that many have chosen to go with the MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite module, so I will pose my question here.

My PIR sensor appears to function properly and after the standby timeout, the HDMI output will turn off (I am using the ‘xrandr’ command type). However, this results in my monitor detecting a missing signal and it will put up a “No Signal” indication on the screen. Further, after a certain time, it will turn the monitor OFF, which requires that I need to push buttons in order to turn it back on again. My understanding is that I need to use HDMI CEC commands in order to instruct the monitor to turn off, which will prevent the “No Signal” indication from appearing. This was a completely working feature in my Magic Mirror prior to upgrading to Bullseye.

I used the EXT-Pir and EXT-Screen modules (https://wiki.bugsounet.fr/) in the past and they were able to accomplish the task. However, I don’t have enough skill to examine the code to determine how the commands are being sent to turn off my monitor. The EXT-Screen module simply required that I choose a mode (mode:4 - use HDMI CEC) in the configuration and it successfully controlled the monitor. What I would need is to have these commands implemented in a PIR sensor module, or I would need some guidance on how to implement these codes in the MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite module.

Any insight you might have would be appreciated…

Ok. I think I understand the strategy here. I will just need to figure out the proper HDMI CEC code that I need. Thanks. I’ll let you know how things progress…

I am running MM version 2.27.0, node v20.4, npm v9.8.1

I read that post already, which allowed me to get the MM running again. I just commented out the lines indicated.

Ah, yes. That was it. Instead of manually making the changes, I just copied the entire code and pasted. Seems to work now. Thanks!

I don’t believe that I am using pm2. Here are the logs when MM starts:

Not sure what happened here… You indicate that this issue is solved…? I still don’t have a calendar yet. MM launches now, but I only have an indication that the calendar is “Loading…” but it never appears.

I am running MM version 2.27.0, node v20.4, npm v9.8.1

I read that post already, which allowed me to get the MM running again. I just commented out the lines indicated.

I’ve been using the default calendar module for awhile now, and living with the incorrect date for one of my recurring events. Specifically, my event occurs on the first Thursday of each month, and the calendar seems to show the correct date for the first occurrence, but all subsequent occurrences seem to happen on the first Wednesday of each month — one day early.

I understand that one solution may be to use the MMM-MyCalendar module instead. I attempted this and discovered that my MM wouldn’t launch, and attempted a workaround shown here:

https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCalendar/issues/40

As others have reported, MM will now launch, but the calendar never appears (always indicates ‘loading’). I can put back the original calendar module, and just live with the problem, but does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

@karsten13

Success! I ran the following command:

npm install node-fetch@2

… and now it’s back up and running again! Thanks for the quick response!

@sdetweil

Ok. I went to my /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Weather/ folder and I ran the ‘npm install node-fetch’ command. I am getting a different error now:

@sdetweil
Thanks for the reply… I’ve gone to my MagicMirror/modules folder, and I can confirm that there is no module called ‘node-fetch’. Your post indicates that to fix this, the library needs to be installed in the module folder. The procedure continues to indicate that I need to change directories to the module that is having the problem… but it doesn’t exist…? Am I reading this correctly?

I just attempted to update to the latest version of Magic Mirror, and now I can’t get it to start… Can anyone provide any suggestions? Here is what I am seeing now:
