MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

samydp

yes but i dont have the folder node_modules in the PIR Folder :/ i have install WrinPi but nothing works :/

Bangee

ok so lets go step by step:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

now we will remove the PIR folder:
rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

run the following cmd here:
npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
sudo useradd -g pi gpio

and reboot your Raspi:
sudo reboot

You’ll have to connect your PIR Sensor the right way with your Raspi.
I’ve connected my PIR Sensor on the following Pins:
GPIO
I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
– correctin grn pin

PIR Sensor

and dont forget to add the config :-)

samydp

you are the best !! i dont become no a with screen !

but the sensor dont work

i have
vcc: Pin 2
Data: Pin 7
Ground: Pin 6

and my config in the config and MMM-PIR-Sensor data is:

}
{
        		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
        		config: {
			sensorPIN: 7,
			relayPIN: false,
			powerSaving: true,
			relayOnState: 1,
            }
            },

the sensetiv is max and the time is min

If you use pin 7 in your config its nr 4

You have to use the gpio nr.

@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.js

I 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.

Bangee

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!!

Bangee

@bibi did you try it with the instructions from paviro:
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

I don’t think that this warn is your problem. I have so many times these warnings :-D
You sould send us whats in your pm2 logs mm
