    @bachoo786 Same for me. Couldn’t get neither MMM-PIR nor MMM-PIR-Sensor to work, but on a Raspi3B+

      Hmmm…that’s strange.
      Here is my config for MMM-Pir-Sensor I use:

      //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      {
              module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
              config: {
              sensorPin: 4,
              powerSavingDelay: 150, // (seconds) how long the monitor will be turned on
              
              }
      },
      //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      

      And this is the wiring of the sensor with the GPIO, which corresponds to the above config. ‘sensorPin: 4’ corresponds to GPIO_4 (brown cable)

        @Fozi The odd thing is that I didn’t even get the module installed properly. However, just tried again and it seems to work now. Maybe because of MM v 2.10.0. I don’t know…

            More or less the same problem for me…
            I’m using a velleman VMA314 connected to GPIO pin 11 (BCM GPIO 17) and module MMM-PIR-Sensor.
            I’ve updated wiringPi for Pi 4 (wiringPi updated to 2.52 for the Raspberry Pi 4B)
            I see that state changes using “gpio readall” but nothing happens…or to start with, connected screen does not even turn off after time set in config:

            		{
            			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
            			config: {
            			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
            				sensorPin: 17, // The pin (BCM numbering, NOT pin number itself) your PIR-sensor is connected to.
            				powerSaving: true, // Should the monitor be turned off if no user is present? (via HDMI or relay)
            				powerSavingDelay: 5, // Additional software side delay (in seconds) before the monitor will be turned off.
            				powerSavingNotification: true, // To display a notification before to switch screen off
            				powerSavingMessage: "Skärmen stängs av på grund av inaktivitet..." // Message notification to display before to switch screen off
            				
            			}
            		},

                      Yes, i’ve built two mirrors and now working on my third bathroom mirror and with x number of files open in Notepad++ it’s getting messy…and even if you can see the file name and it’s location (host name) you end up editing elsewhere :dizzy_face:
