[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

Mar

@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.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm install

@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!

Mar

@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.

@Jopyth

using PM2 Im able to get the logs when starting, and even though it installed with your instructions i now get this error in the logs.

@Mar for anyone else who is getting this an npm rebuild fixes it. from here https://github.com/atom/apm/issues/635

Jay

Hey, thanks for advising us how to install the modules, but I´m still struggling to find a solution for me even after updating nodejs and npm to the latest builts…
Similar error with corrected package.json.

Unable to find electron-prebuilt's version number, either install it or specify an explicit version

I even tried the npm rebuild @Mar suggested. My last attempt to get this working was updating electron to its newest version but this didn´t help either.
Is there anything I could further try to install this module correctly?

Mar

@Jay I forgot what I did here to fix this issue. But to be honest after I got this working it still wasnt perfect. I ended going the route of a script on startup that controls the PIR sensor and its been perfect since and simple.

fox

did you install the fix? or is this now obsolet?

Jopyth

@fox This PR should have fixed the issue (it is merged into the master).

Are you running MagicMirror 2.1.0? And is your PIR-Module up-to-date? Try updating both (see this and do it in both directories) to the newest version.

I deleted PIR Sensor completely. And made a new installation of this module and it installed without Problems. looks good from now

Hi, i tried to install the module MMM-PIR-Sensor. I did it like its explained here:

https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

After installing the module i opened the config.js file an added:

{
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
				sensorPIN: 23,
                                powerSaving: true,
                                relayPIN: none,
                                relayOnState: 1,
			}
		},

The way i connected the sensor is shown in the following picture:

But when i want to start the magic mirror it says that i have to add a correct config.js file.
What did i wrong? Please help me guys ;)

Jay

@STEFF92
Did you change the name of the config File from “config.js.sample” to “config.js”?

STEFF92

@Jay yes i did. The basic modules like clock or weather are running but when i add the module for the PIR sensor in the config.js file i cant start the magic mirror

pjkoeleman

Delete the ‘,’ in te last line (relayOnState: 1)
