MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen
-
ok so lets go step by step:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/now we will remove the PIR folder:
rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensorand 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-Sensorrun the following cmd here:
npm installand wait, this can take a few minutes.Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
sudo useradd -g pi gpioand reboot your Raspi:
sudo rebootYou’ll have to connect your PIR Sensor the right way with your Raspi.
I’ve connected my PIR Sensor on the following Pins:
I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
– correctin grn pin
and dont forget to add the config :-)
-
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 6and 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.

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 -
@strawberry-3.141 yeah! thx a lot. at least i can see this white screen now :p :))) have to figure out how to solve this… Only if it’s realllllly really obvious for you/someone, i post my log file. (sorry to ask so much) otherwise not prob, i will reinstall the PIR module…

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
