      @KirAsh4 I agree, it’s very strange. Like you, I am using a rPi-3 with the most recent version of Raspbian Jessie and run everything as user pi. So maybe it is the monitor (Philips 273V5l). Which one do you use?

      Although the problem is fixed, I would like to know what is going on.

        Let me get home and get you the details on it. It a monitor we had sitting around at the office, some high end graphic Pro monitor that wasn’t being used anymore. I also have a test I want to perform on it, see if that makes a difference in what I’m seeing. Stay tuned.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

            @joerod That’s all? Not a failure of my plugin. Any more logs?

            We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

              For people who are not confortable with programming this, or need to buy a pir sensor anyway

              You can also buy a pir with motionsensor like this

                I’ve tested my PIR sensor with a Python script to make sure I’m using the proper GPIO and its functioning as it should. I do see 1 & 0 when I move near the sensor so I don’t think its the hardware.

                I’d love to use this module, I was going to do it in python but since you have it in JS I figured why not use that.

                  @joerod please use Markdown on code snippets so it is easier to read! :) have you installed all the dependencies (also for the mirror itself?)
                  @MichMich any idea?

                      @paviro I had to downgrade to node 5.0.0, I confirmed its that version of node. After the downgrade I removed the PIR module and did a git clone and then npm install in the folder. Still the same thing, is there a specific version of node 5 I should be using or a specific version of npm?

                      I’m running it from
                      /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor

                        Could you try it with node serveronly ?
