        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 :-)

            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 Thank you so much for responding. I removed magic mirror completely reinstalled… then installed the module.

                    All is well now… Thank you so much!

                        @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

                                      Everything with at least one tab indent is treated as code and highlighted. ;)

                                          @bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add } after showPublishDate: true and you should be fine

                                          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
