[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

kerijn

Installing with sudo worked for me. Thank you!

@Bangee said in MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen:

ok so lets go step by step:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

now we will remove the PIR folder:
rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

run the following cmd here:
npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
sudo useradd -g pi gpio

and reboot your Raspi:
sudo reboot

You’ll have to connect your PIR Sensor the right way with your Raspi.
I’ve connected my PIR Sensor on the following Pins:

I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
– correctin grn pin

and dont forget to add the config :-)

Attempts to remove and install the module again as the user @Bangee said

Worked with me

@H3L1o150 @Bangee I am still having problems with the MMM-PIR-Sensor module. I added the default module to the config.js:

{
module: ‘MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
}
},

When I then start the npm I get this error:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

When I leave the module out of the config.js everything works fine again. Any help is appreciated.

@kerijn `

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm list

look for electron to find out your version number

cd modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=XXX --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --build-from-source

Replace XXX with the version you found in step 1

Thank you @yawns .
I did your code lines and got:

and

Then i repeated

npm install

@nemesismega i am getting this error while install the PIR module, all other modules working fine

@yawns Thank you very much for your help but infortunately this didn’t work. I now cannot start Magicmirror anymore even without the MMM-PIR-Sensor module… See error below. I also got the same warning as @fox with missing grunt@…

I now did a full new installation of MagicMirror with the defauls config.js and got the same error.

@kerijn perhaps @paviro can help us here. It seems to be a general problem.

Jopyth

@kerijn @fox I think I fixed this issue before, it comes from the changes the Magic Mirror version 2.1.0 introduced. I am not sure, but I think the changes neccessary are almost as simple as here. Will have to test this at home though. Maybe there was something else needed.

Thank you. That fixes the problem for me ! :)

@Jopyth This worked for me for the installation as well. Thank you! However, the sensor does not seem to do anything. How can I check whether the sensor is working properly?

I have the same problem

Jopyth

@Makradon @kerijn I found this. I think you could save this as test.py somewhere on your Pi and see if the output changes when you move and don’t move (set the pin number in the second line) after your start it with python test.py:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
pin = 11
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(pin, GPIO.IN)         #Read output from PIR motion sensor

while True:
       i=GPIO.input(pin)
       if i==0:                 #When output from motion sensor is LOW
             print "No intruders",i
             time.sleep(0.1)
       elif i==1:               #When output from motion sensor is HIGH
             print "Intruder detected",i
             time.sleep(0.1)

@Jopyth I had the same problem.
Your work-around (installation) worked for me but the sensor does not seem to do anything…
the test.py script shows me always “1” - also when nothing is moving in the room…

Jopyth

@thoimi Check for the correct wiring (PIN-Numbers can be confusing, there is the BCM numbering and the other one), also make sure GND and 5V are conncted correctly, adjust sensitivity to maximum and time to minimum (so it hopefully switch back and forth quickly), try covering up the sensor under a bowl or something and then put your hand in to test.

When I set up the sensor, I also searched for the error for hours, and at the end my problem was the sensor was plugged into pin 4 (BCM) and not 7 as I thought. Also I think you need to remove the , pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN part (PIR example).

thoimi

@Jopyth Thank you for your quick reply! :)
I tried for hours now… I think it’s connected correctly, because when I’m switching the pin-number in the script the script shows me always “0” - with the correct pin-number it shows me “1”…
I also put the sensor in a box - always shows me “1”… completely strange… :/

Jopyth

@thoimi ~~It shows 1 because of the pull up resistor. Try removing that part, check my edited post above.~~

Edit: The 1 does not mean it is wired correctly, it just shows 1 because of the pull up resistor.
