        @bachoo786 Same for me. Couldn’t get neither MMM-PIR nor MMM-PIR-Sensor to work, but on a Raspi3B+

          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…

                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
                				
                			}
                		},

                    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…
