PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

paviro

@pugsly I am busy this weekend but I will check next week, for the time being check your web inspector for any errors and make sure there is no mistake in your formatting of the config.js file!

@pugsly: Are you using Node v6? I had the same issue this weekend.

Hi! Im having the same issue as @pugsly. I do already have the PIR sensor connected but once I launch the MagicMirror the screen goes white.

This is what I have in the config.js:

{
module: "MMM-PIR-Sensor',
config: {
sensorPIN: '2'
}
}

Any thoughts? Thx!

incubik

There was a type on my message… sorry. This is what I have done:

{
module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
sensorPIN: ‘2’
}
}

@incubik have you checked your Web inspector?

I have Raspbian install so Im using Epiphany. Does this browser has a web inspector? if so, where? Thx

I got my sensor and hooked it up, same problem.

Yes, I am using node version 6.0. When I did the install that’s the version that was installed, I think the install script now installs an older version?

I’ve tried to use PIN 26. In my electron errorlog, there was this msg:

[Error: digitalRead: IsInt32(arguments['pin']) === false]

So I went back to PIN 22 and now my mirror starts again. :-)

EDIT:

New idea -> Try without ’ ';

{
module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
sensorPIN: 2 ,
}
}

@incubik I don’t use that browser, Google it :)
@pugsly Node v6 is not supported at the moment.
@Bangee yes, the pin has to be an int :) @incubik you also made that mistake!

incubik

Ok, I will!

Maybe it is a hardware problem? I’ve connected the PIR-sensor this way, is this correct?
