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

@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?

@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:

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

??

When I checked it did not work, maybe the dependencies were updated since then. If not install v5 :)

This PDF shows how to adjust your PIR Sensor.

Today, i don’t know why but after a few minutes the monitor turns off, but then it reactivates again without any motion in front of the mirror. Any sugestions?

@Bangee you can always try to add some logging to the code console.log("something") to see where it is triggered and if the script is the cause or something else :)

This is all 10 seconds. But there is noone in front of the mirror… :-(

@Bangee Wait! That’s just all modules logging they received the notification, thats probably the same message over and over again logged by different modules.

Bangee

@paviro will there be any chance to log what information the sensor is returning?
I’m not sure why my screen is alway going on and off, but i’ll get nervous…
