PIR motion sensor/ pi root folder
-
Does anyone have a good tutorial waking through how to set up a PIR motion sensor with the MagicMirror. all of the ones that I have found either don’t work, or they crash the entire thing, and i have to restart completely. Any help? Also what is the pi home root folder?
-
@BandNerd1002 users home folders are in /home
Then by user name, so pi
So the home folder for user pi is
/home/pi

Oh ok. Thank you
-
@BandNerd1002 on the PIR, after u git clone, you have to go into the MMM-Pir folder and do npm install to add that modules dependencies.
Any module that has a package.json needs the same npm install done from it’s module folder
-
Is there a good module to use? the ones that I have used always come up with a config error, or crash the pi.
-
@BandNerd1002 see the step above about dependencies, and use the check:config
i don’t use pir myself, i use a webcam for motion

Ok. Thank you.
