I like people who write guides! I don’t use a PIR sensor but I do appreciate the time and effort you put in on everyone’s behalf.

I followed your guide but i still get version 2.25 when i use npm install wiring-pi.
Any ideas why?

@StacheEnthusiast @DavA Hey, I just decided to try and install MMM-PIR-Sensor but am running into the same issue.
I was wondering if you ever did get this working as the directions have stated…

@msherwood Hey FYI I just got my lastest build (from scratch yesterday) working with MMM-PIR-Sensor:

I also found that npm install wiring-pi installed the old (2.25) version for me. I found a newer library:

npm install wiring-pi-2019

which installs version 2.5 (this one works on my pi4!).

I also found that the location of the tvservice binary has changed, so I just used the following bash commands:

sudo chmod u+s `which tvservice`
sudo chmod u+s `which chvt`

It then worked for me (Note, I did not modify the node_helper.js script at all.)

Hi all, unfortunately I’m not too familiar with coding but had this module failed to update today having followed the steps above which worked fine with the previous version.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

@dubalda can you elaborate more detailed the failure, e.g, error message or similar?
