      @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.

        thank you for the updated script!
        the new script also shows me “Intruder detected” … i tried many variations of time and sensitivity adjustments…

        I found another script on the internet:

        from gpiozero import MotionSensor

pir = MotionSensor(4)
while True:
    if pir.motion_detected:
        print("Motion detected!")

        This script shows me also the “Motion detected” all the time…
        Maybe the PIR-Sensor itself is the problem… I will try with another Sensor next week :(

          Thanks for trying to help me.

          I tried what you said. It always says “motion detected”.
          I’m sure the wiring is right… I also use the dht22 sensor and that works perfectly fine. And the way you count the pins is the same… isn’t it?

          I bought a new PIR sensor… but the problem is still there.

            @Makradon Nope, definitely not the same numbering.

              Now I’m confused.

              5V is Pin 2
              Ground is Pin 6
              I think that is right when you count like this:

              http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/sites/raspberry-pi/fotos/raspberry-pi-15b.jpg

              And when you don’t change the pin in the config file it says SensorPin 22.
              So which is the right pin in the pic above to connect the output of the PIR sensor that it works with this module?

                @Makradon Sensor PIN 22 for the PIR-Sensor module is this one:
                0_1485851151185_raspberry-pi-15b.jpg

                Edit: Maybe I was confused by the diagram of the DHT22 module. It looked to me like the GPIO and WiringPi numbers are different.

                    Thank you. With that i understood the delay and sensitivy knob.
                    But! When i put sensivity at most right, the monitor goes on automatically ON after a while, even when there is NO movement in the radius… How can i debug this?

                    Issues With MMM-WatchDog known?

                      I’ve tried following the instruction above of removing and reinstalling but I keep getting the below errors. I’m not even sure what they are unfortunately, wondering if anyone is able to help.

                      edit: I have tried modifying the package.json file in the FAQ but the install exits within a minute, vs a really long time leaving the original. Seems like it gets farther through the install the first time. Though I’ve noticed i do have the electron folder and not an electron-prebuilt. The following is the error I get when i remove the -prebuilt.

                        This is an old node version. Please update your node and npm. (If you need help check the answers to this SO question.)
