      @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

        Issues With MMM-WatchDog known?

            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:

            alt text

            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 ;)

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

                              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?

                                  @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,
                                  			}
                                  		},

                                      @johnnyboy yes i tried it like this :

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

                                      But it dosent work. Same problem as before.

                                          @STEFF92 none is not a valid js value either use

                                          {
                                            module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                                            config: {
                                              sensorPIN: 23,
                                              powerSaving: true,
                                              relayPIN: false,
                                              relayOnState: 1
                                            }
                                          },
                                          

                                          or like this, because relayPIN is set to false by default

                                          {
                                            module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                                            config: {
                                              sensorPIN: 23,
                                              powerSaving: true,
                                              relayOnState: 1
                                            }
                                          },
                                          

                                          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                            @strawberry-3.141 Thanks, now the config file and the magic mirror surface are running but there is no response from the sensor. i have moved the potentiometer but the screen doesnt turn off. Do you know any possible mistake i could have made?
