    Hi AxLED,
    may I ask you for help please?

    I did connect a PIR to my Rpi to PIN 40 / BCM 21

    git clone https://github.com/mboskamp/MMM-PIR.git
    cd MMM-PIR
    npm install
    

    Added the the config in the verry first line within the modules chapter

    {
            module: 'MMM-PIR',
            position: 'top_center',
            config: {
                    sensorPin: 21,
                    delay: 10000,
                    turnOffDisplay: true,
                    showCountdown: true,
    //                callbackScripts: ["callback.py"
            }
    },
    
    

    Nothing happen. No countdown starts. No Disply turn off.

    Wiring was inslalled already:

    pi@MagicMirror:~ $ gpio -v
    gpio version: 2.50

      *--> Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
      * This Raspberry Pi supports user-level GPIO access.
    
    

    And I tried this command an a reboot:

    sudo usermod -a -G gpio pi
    

    Have you got any hints for me please?

        There are two Pir Sensor Modules. I use MMM-PIR-Sensor. Maybe this helps.

          MMM-PIR uses the tvservice command (see MMM-PIR/callbackscripts/default for the two scripts)

          MMM-PIR-Sensor uses the /usr/bin/vcgencmd command

          YOU have to make sure the different approaches work

          my TV does NOT respond to ANY command…

            Good Info!
            Will play next days with MMM-PIR and MMM-PIR-Sensor investigating about needed scripts vs. /usr/bin/vcgencmd command

            If I can’t get it run mayby I will add an relais to turn off the display…

            At the moment I have to understand the both approaches and what my display is able to handle.
            Could be no way is possible as it’s an verry old one.
