    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!

      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 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!

                  Ok, I will!

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

                    @incubik Looks fine, the hardware does not influence the module behavior tough, you could also run it without something connected.

                      Ok, so if it doesn’t support v6, how can @Bangee made it work? I guess I should:

                      1. Uninstall NodeJS v6 and install v5
                        or
                      2. Delete the Sensor Module for now

                      ??
