Hey there Guys,
I´m stuck and I need your help.

My Code:

		{
			module: 'MMM-NewPIR',
			position: 'top_left',
			configDeepMerge: true,
				config: {
				debug: false,
				screen: {
					delay: 2 * 60 * 1000, // 2 * 60 * 1000 = 2 Minuten
					turnOffDisplay: true,
					mode: 1,
					ecoMode: true,
					displayCounter: true,
					text: "Auto Turn Off Screen:",
					displayBar: true,
					displayStyle: "SemiCircle",
					governorSleeping: false,
					displayLastPresence: true,
					LastPresenceText: "Last Presence:",
					useTouch: false,
					delayed: 0
						},
				pir: 	{
					usePir: true,
					gpio: 21,
					reverseValue: false
						}
					}
		 },	

My HC-SR501 Sensor is wired as following:
VCC (+5V) > GPIO PIN 2
OUT > GPIO PIN 21
GND > GPIO PIN 6

Problem:
The timer runs down, the display switches off and then stays black.
It seems as the movement is not recognized by the PIR.

I already tried another PIR, same failure.
Switching to another PIN > 22 with editing the config results with the same “failure”.

At the moment I don´t know, where the source of my problem is buried and I could use some help from you.

Thank you in advance

@chrisdub have you activated the pins at your Raspberry OS?

Good morning.
To be honest, I don´t really know. Is there a special way to activate the PINS? Maybe via raspi-config?!

Thank you for your fast answer, ´ve found some articles for activating the GPIOs.

I´ve followed this tutorial for testing my PIR Sensor: https://www.einplatinencomputer.com/raspberry-pi-pir-bewegungsmelder-ansteuern/

The author doesn´t mention, that activating the GPIOs is necessary. Now I´m a little bit confused.

When I´m starting the script, I´m getting the following output. When I´m moving in front of the sensor, nothing happens.

Just in case it helps, a picture from my setup:

can i add an exception module to not hide, while hiding all others?

What is this module made for…RPI3 or RPI4?

@cowboysdude I don’t understand the question?

it supports all the different screen dimming approaches

@sdetweil Thanks Sam.
