MMM-NewPIR v3

[pakal41]

Hello,
takes PIR sensor HC-SR501 it works on , perso
I ordered to see a Doppler Microwave Sensor RCWL-0516 to replace HC SR501

v3.1.5 is out!

added: many mode for touch screen use
added: delayed activating screen

see ReadMe File for more informations

@pakal41 I can assure you that the Doppler sensor will work 😃

@Bugsounet With new version of MagicMirror I decides to try this module.
Running rpi4 with HC-SR501 sensor.
Can you please explain me how exactly ecoMode working. I have some problems with that enabled true. I’m still trying to figure out exactly problem but no luck. I’m using MMM-Globe by Eunanibus and its not reloading (not showing ) after monitor is turn on and sometime even monitor doesn’t wont to turn on. Should I just keep this option false? With ecoMode false at the moment everything is working fine.
Anyway, great work and thank you for your contribution.

@lolo ecoMode Feature hide all modules (disable modules), after maybe your globe module have a bug on disable/resume (this fonction is a function coded in the core of MM)

[lolo]

Thx. Even one my module have problem with that. For now I will keep it as false.

It’s working :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

After a couple of tries with all available PIR Modules it’s working with MMM-NewPIR perfect!
Many thanks!

[bdream]

…Ohh no.
Getting update notification for MMM-NewPIR.

I’m trying in MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NewPIR

git pull

but get the message “it’s actual already”

Notification message still there.

Any idea please?

[Fozi]

I had the same. After

git pull

Enter

mom run update

and reboot.

[bdream]

where to run mom run update?
I tried in home, MagicMirror, modules and MMM-NewPIR
got th message

-bash: mom: Kommando nicht gefunden.

-bash: mom: Command not found.

[bdream]

Hast noone an Idea how to get rid of thus Update Message?

[lolo]

This should work

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NewPIR

git pull

npm run update

sudo reboot

[bdream]

@lolo it works!
Many thanks

Again this Forum ist so helpful 🥳

Hey there Guys,
I´m stuck and I need your help.

My Code:

		{
			module: 'MMM-NewPIR',
			position: 'top_left',
			configDeepMerge: true,
				config: {
				debug: false,
				screen: {
					delay: 2 * 60 * 1000, // 2 * 60 * 1000 = 2 Minuten
					turnOffDisplay: true,
					mode: 1,
					ecoMode: true,
					displayCounter: true,
					text: "Auto Turn Off Screen:",
					displayBar: true,
					displayStyle: "SemiCircle",
					governorSleeping: false,
					displayLastPresence: true,
					LastPresenceText: "Last Presence:",
					useTouch: false,
					delayed: 0
						},
				pir: 	{
					usePir: true,
					gpio: 21,
					reverseValue: false
						}
					}
		 },	

My HC-SR501 Sensor is wired as following:
VCC (+5V) > GPIO PIN 2
OUT > GPIO PIN 21
GND > GPIO PIN 6

Problem:
The timer runs down, the display switches off and then stays black.
It seems as the movement is not recognized by the PIR.

I already tried another PIR, same failure.
Switching to another PIN > 22 with editing the config results with the same “failure”.

At the moment I don´t know, where the source of my problem is buried and I could use some help from you.

Thank you in advance

@chrisdub have you activated the pins at your Raspberry OS?

Good morning.
To be honest, I don´t really know. Is there a special way to activate the PINS? Maybe via raspi-config?!

Thank you for your fast answer, ´ve found some articles for activating the GPIOs.

I´ve followed this tutorial for testing my PIR Sensor: https://www.einplatinencomputer.com/raspberry-pi-pir-bewegungsmelder-ansteuern/

The author doesn´t mention, that activating the GPIOs is necessary. Now I´m a little bit confused.

When I´m starting the script, I´m getting the following output. When I´m moving in front of the sensor, nothing happens.

Just in case it helps, a picture from my setup:

[jordes]

can i add an exception module to not hide, while hiding all others?

[cowboysdude]

What is this module made for…RPI3 or RPI4?
