      @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.)

                  @Jopyth Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond to this. Sorry I was away for work and didnt have too much time to test this out.

                  So i managed to, using your link, to update node. But there was issues even getting there, I had to use an older version of node to update npm…but anyways here is the output showing I’ve updated to the latest version.

                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm -v
4.0.5
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ node -v
v7.4.0

                  But now I’m getting this issue. Again thanks @Jopyth for responding so quickly last time.

                    @Mar Please change your package.json file as displayed here and execute npm install again. @paviro has not yet responded to my PR, but hopefully this will get merged in sooner or later.

                      @Jopyth It finally worked!!! :lifter_tone2: thanks so much. Ive spent days on this :(

                      Tried this last link you provided previously before posting but nothing was working, your support around getting node updated (and npm) was all that needed to happen first.

                      Thanks again!

                        @Jopyth Though looks like its failing on the config file now, Do you see any issues with the following?

                                       {
                        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                        config: {
                                sensorPin: 17,
                        }
                },

                        i seem to get an error and MM doesnt load when this is in the config file. I can even have disabled:true and it loads, otherwise I’ll get a blank webpage.
