Module error after updating - MMM-Pir: Pir Error detected: EINVAL: invalid argument, write

@Jazz said in Module error after updating - MMM-Pir: Pir Error detected: EINVAL: invalid argument, write:

pir_mode: 0,

Sorry, I have forget to update ReadMe for this error
Generally happen with x64 system (Rpi 4 and Rpi 5)

Available pir_mode:
pir_mode: 0 - use onoff library (For Raspberry Pi 3b+ and 4)
pir_mode: 1 - use python script with RPI.GPIO library (For Raspberry Pi 3b+ and 4)
pir_mode: 2 - use python script with gpiozero library (For Raspberry Pi 5, not tested on other Raspberry Pi)

So, Can you try pir_mode: 1, or pir_mode: 2,

@bugsounet Changing pir_ mode from 0 to 1 has fixed the problem :)

Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

I just can’t get it to work guys. Please help.

GPIO setup:
VIN - Pin2
OUT - Pin6
GND - Pin11

Configuration:
module: ‘MMM-Pir’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
debug: false,
delay: 1 * 30 * 1000,
mode: 1,
displayCounter: true,
displayBar: true,
displayStyle: “SemiCircle”,
displayLastPresence: true,
lastPresenceTimeFormat: “LL H:mm”,
xrandrForceRotation: “normal”,
wrandrForceRotation: “normal”,
touchMode: 2,

pir_mode: 1,

I have been playing around with all variations and have tested 3 sensors. Not sure what I’m missing.
Thank you for your support!

@Laca44 does it work outside
MagicMirror?

there are python scripts to test operation.
