[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

Mar

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

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?

@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

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

@STEFF92
What is not working;

Do you still have the problem with the config.sys, when post your config.sys here.
Is the PIR not switching off you screen?

STEFF92

@johnnyboy But it doesnt matter as long as i use the gpio that belongs to this pin or am i wrong?

STEFF92

@pjkoeleman when i want to start the magic mirror it says that i should create a correct config.js file. But the only thing i added in my config.js file (which runs without the following lines) is:

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