      @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…

                        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:
