      Does anyone have a good tutorial waking through how to set up a PIR motion sensor with the MagicMirror. all of the ones that I have found either don’t work, or they crash the entire thing, and i have to restart completely. Any help? Also what is the pi home root folder?

        @BandNerd1002 users home folders are in /home

        Then by user name, so pi

        So the home folder for user pi is

        /home/pi

            @BandNerd1002 on the PIR, after u git clone, you have to go into the MMM-Pir folder and do npm install to add that modules dependencies.

            Any module that has a package.json needs the same npm install done from it’s module folder

              Is there a good module to use? the ones that I have used always come up with a config error, or crash the pi.

                @BandNerd1002 see the step above about dependencies, and use the check:config

                i don’t use pir myself, i use a webcam for motion
