@lif and you are using the correct pin definition

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

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

@lif and if you change to mode 1?? which matches your python lib test?

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

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 :-)

:-) never seen this before…

On a production web site with 1000000’s of file loads, minified can reduce response times…

otherwise it is a hiding technique, which can(has) hidden hacker attacks on client systems…(loading files, sending credentials…)
