PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used

[KirAsh4]

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.

@paviro I donwloaded to node 5.0.0 and I know get the following error

Failed at the magicmirror@2.0.0 start script 'electron js/electron.js'.

[paviro]

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

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?

[MichMich]

Sorry, no clue. :(

[joerod]

@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

[MichMich]

Could you try it with node serveronly ?

[paviro]

@joerod also do npm install on the mm folder or install the whole thing from scratch :)
