[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

@Jopyth said in [MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing:

@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 ;)

@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,
			}
		},

@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
  }
},

@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?

@STEFF92 I guess you might defined the wrong pin number according on your setup you use gpio23 which is pin 16 in this diagram https://forum.magicmirror.builders/uploads/files/1485851152518-raspberry-pi-15b.jpg, but I never did something with the gpio of the pi
