MMM-Pir

@gonzonia install node 20, MagicMirror has the same version restrictions, cause we found some problems w node 21

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20

sudo is required here because they both update the /usr folder

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Thanks!

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil I did that and I still get the same problem. How do I make sure it uses the correct version?

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo npm install n -g

added 1 package in 5s
pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo n 20
     copying : node/20.18.0
   installed : v20.18.0 (with npm 10.8.2)

@gonzonia said in MMM-Pir:

{“npm”:“10.9.0”,“node”:“v21.7.1”}

you may have to close and open new shell
or do

hash -r

to update the path

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Okay.
I’ve run

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20
hash -r

then closed the terminal and reconnected.
Went back into the MMM-Pir directory and tried running the setup again.
Same problem

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia node -v
returns what?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ node -v 
v21.7.1

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia weird… how did you upgrade to node 21?
apt or nvm?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Honestly, I don’t remember. I think I installed nvm at one point to fix something else but I do run apt regularly to update everything

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia do nvm -v

n and nvm do the same thing
nvm is a bash script
n is a javascript app

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

$ nvm -v
0.39.7

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia ok, so you have nvm too

sudo nvm i 20

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Pir:

sudo nvm i 20

sudo nvm i 20
sudo: nvm: command not found

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia ok, been a while

nvm install v20.9.0

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Pir:

nvm install v20.9.0

That did it!

As always, THANK YOU!

[Peter]

@gonzonia is your Magic Mirror working now with MMM-PIR?
My MM stopped turning on after updating MMM-PIR.
Peter

[gonzonia]

@Peter So it’ll go off but the PIR doesn’t work to turn it back on? Mine is working. Try re-installing. Here’s the config I’m using.

  module: 'MMM-Pir',
		  position: 'top_left',
		  classes: 'SceneFamily SceneSam',
		  config: {
			debug: false,
			delay: 2 * 60 * 1000,
			mode: 9	,
			displayCounter: false,
			displayBar: false,
			displayStyle: "Line",
			displayLastPresence: false,
			lastPresenceTimeFormat: "LL H:mm",
			mode6_gpio: 20,
			mode6_clearGpioValue: true,
			xrandrForceRotation: "left",
			wrandrForceRotation: "normal",
			wrandrForceMode: "1920x1080",
			touchMode: 3,
			pir_gpio: 4,
			pir_mode: 0,
	  }

[Peter]

@gonzonia before installing did you follow all the tips mentioned by sdetweil?
Peter

Can you check new ReadMe

I haven’t had time to create a topic for the new release of MMM-Pir v2 yet, sorry

[gonzonia]

@Peter Yes. Because I was getting an error when I tried installing.
