      @lif and you are using the correct pin definition

          Pir: {
            mode: 0,
            gpio: 21
          },

        Yes, the working script is:
        from gpiozero import MotionSensor
        from datetime import datetime
        import os, time
        import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

        pir = MotionSensor(21)
        while True:

            pir.wait_for_motion()
            now = datetime.now()
            current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
            print("Movement detected at", current_time)
            pir.wait_for_no_motion()

          @lif I meant MMM-PIR config setup

          there are different numbering schemes for GPIO pins and different ways to access

          the doc (readme) describes the different choices.

            Yes, I think so, the pir is connected to pin 40 on the Raspberry pi 3b which I’m sure is GPIO 21

                No difference.

                I have added a header: “PIR”, line before the config and that is not showing either.

                  @lif are there any errors listed in the MM startup messages??

                  if using pm2 to auto start

                  pm2 logs --lines =xxx

                  xxx is number of most recent lines to display, default 15,
                  usually need 100 or more for full message list

                    Thanks for all your help
                    I think this line might be relevant
                    0|mm | [2025-03-24 16:54:30.994] [WARN] No /home/pi/MagicMirror/js/…/modules/MMM-Pir/MMM-Pir.js found for module: MMM-Pir.

                    It’s correct, there isn’t a MMM-Pir.js file in the MMM-Pir directory.

                      @lif module rules

                      module name (exact case) = folder name in modules folder
                      MUST contain at minimum a file name that matches(exact case) of the modulename.js

                      AND inside that file it MUST contain a module.register(name…)
                      where name MUST match (exact case) the module name

                        If you had cloned this repository from @coernel - the MMM-pir.js is missing.
                        This must be an error.

                        Nevertheless: I’ve played around with the original version from bugsounet and figured out that editing his “origin” MM-Pir.js was really hard because he has deleted all linefeeds.
                        Seeking around I found an editable clone of the *.js files (including node_helper) in the src folder of the repository.
                        This is true for the new clone from coernel …
                        give it a try :-)

                        Regards,
                        Ralf
