MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen
-
If you use pin 7 in your config its nr 4
You have to use the gpio nr.
-
Thank you it works fine !!
-
@Bangee I tried everything regarding the white screen issues. I’m a noob. was able to get magic mirror installed, I also installed the PIR motion detection and can confirm motion is detected.
Downgraded Node JS
Installed the electron
made sure module was added in config.jsI am using the Raspberry PI 3 mode b.
Can somebody confirm this module is working with Raspberry Pi 3.
Any help would be greatly appreciative…
Thanks. -
can you restart the magicmirror an check what errormessage you have:
pm2 logs mm -
@Bangee Thank you so much for responding. I removed magic mirror completely reinstalled… then installed the module.
All is well now… Thank you so much!
-
@Bangee hi ! thx for your nice tuto, i have proceed with it but i got a warning as below:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm install
npm WARN prefer global npm@3.10.9 should be installed with –g
do i have to do smt specific or it’s just ok to leave it without any action?
ps: my config file is also not working with PIR module implemented… maybe that is the reason? thx you very much for any feedabck guys!! -
@bibi did you try it with the instructions from paviro:
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-SensorI don’t think that this warn is your problem. I have so many times these warnings :-D
You sould send us whats in yourpm2 logs mm -
@Bangee yes i follow his and yours… quite the same… regarding this npm warning I do nothing then as understood?
I will send you the log later when I’m home
Thx bangee! Appreciated! -
@Bangee so as expected the pm2 log mm just show that the file has syntax error… here is my config file, i put the module at the end…
thx again :) -
@bibi
powerSaving: true -
@strawberry-3.141 right was a typo but still the config file is “not created” :((
-
@bibi can you post your whole config file?
-
@strawberry-3.141 here you go and many thx in advance - i struggling with this now (sorry i don’t know why only few parts of the code is with the color background)

@yawns thx! :))

@bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add
}aftershowPublishDate: trueand you should be fine -

Ok the problem it’s solved! except the screen is turning on and off in a very strange way… have to figure out why.
For those you would get the same issue as me, what i did after fixing my config file was:
- sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
- go in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder in modules folder and run npm install there
3.sudo reboot
cheers

Also had the “white screen” problem. I installed a complete new Raspian (with PIXEL), a new MagicMirror - including node.js in version 7.3.0
As soon as i tried to get the MMM-Pir-Sensor working, it failed (with an white screen). Heres, how i solved my problem.At first: Theres no need to downgrade the node (i tried this too, and had no luck)
I figured out, that my problem was an MMM-PIR-Sensor installation error i did not recognized at the beginning. When i tried “npm install” i got something like this (an error):
"gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/5.12.0”
I figured out, that there are two ways of solving this:
- CHOWN the directory the install procedure tries to install
- use “npm install --unsafe-perm”
Im aware that option two is not the “elegant” way, but it solved my problem (and i did not have to change directory permissions).
I removed all files and git the files again (like described some lines above from banglee) and then just use “npm install --unsafe-perm”
The “–unsafe-perm” option was the key to my problem…

Hi @Medo ,
I have gotten the white screen problem as well and my raspberry pi configuration is similar to yours ( running on PIXEL with the latest nodejs).However, upon using option 2 from your solution. I have obtained this error :
