UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.

Hmmm…that’s strange.
Here is my config for MMM-Pir-Sensor I use:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
        config: {
        sensorPin: 4,
        powerSavingDelay: 150, // (seconds) how long the monitor will be turned on
        
        }
},
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this is the wiring of the sensor with the GPIO, which corresponds to the above config. ‘sensorPin: 4’ corresponds to GPIO_4 (brown cable)

@Fozi The odd thing is that I didn’t even get the module installed properly. However, just tried again and it seems to work now. Maybe because of MM v 2.10.0. I don’t know…

@lavolp3 great!

More or less the same problem for me…
I’m using a velleman VMA314 connected to GPIO pin 11 (BCM GPIO 17) and module MMM-PIR-Sensor.
I’ve updated wiringPi for Pi 4 (wiringPi updated to 2.52 for the Raspberry Pi 4B)
I see that state changes using “gpio readall” but nothing happens…or to start with, connected screen does not even turn off after time set in config:

		{
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
				sensorPin: 17, // The pin (BCM numbering, NOT pin number itself) your PIR-sensor is connected to.
				powerSaving: true, // Should the monitor be turned off if no user is present? (via HDMI or relay)
				powerSavingDelay: 5, // Additional software side delay (in seconds) before the monitor will be turned off.
				powerSavingNotification: true, // To display a notification before to switch screen off
				powerSavingMessage: "Skärmen stängs av på grund av inaktivitet..." // Message notification to display before to switch screen off
				
			}
		},

@hedmik sorry, my bad, i was editing config in another pi…
Now it’s working now as it should :-)

i was editing config in another pi

doesn’t that drive u crazy?! I have 5 devices running, and all have open editors and file managers…
in the editor I can’t tell where the file came from…

You made my day, guys! 🤣

@sdetweil :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
Yes, i’ve built two mirrors and now working on my third bathroom mirror and with x number of files open in Notepad++ it’s getting messy…and even if you can see the file name and it’s location (host name) you end up editing elsewhere :dizzy_face:

What type of mirror glass do you all have?

I have a Pilkington Mirropane Chrome Spy and to me it seems that this type of Mirror glass interferes with the RCWL-0516.

When doing tests (mirror glass taken off) the sensor works as expected but as soon as I put the mirror glass back it stops working through the glass.
Waving my hand at the side still works.
