<![CDATA[[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing]]>Hi,

First of all: I am a total newbie to Linux and MagicMirror. I now tried to install the MMM-PIR-Module on my Pi3 an no matter what I am doing, i am always getting the same error:

npm WARN prefer global node-gyp@3.4.0 should be installed with -g

No. You can connect the PIR sensor to the GPIO pins of your raspberry (make sure your wiring is proper) and work with the PIR sensor after installing the specific libraries

An arduino for example?

Kind regards

finally i had the time to work / finish my magic mirror.
Just the PIR-Sensor-Plugin doesn’t work… After I updated the MM to 2.1.1 I did a fresh install of the script which worked without an error. Yay!

BUT the script is not turning off my monitor… I connected the sensor to GPIO04 / BCM07 and tried to change the SensorPin-Number (from 4 to 7)

I put the sensor in a black box so the display should shut down after starting Magic Mirror, right?

Have you any idea how i’d get this to work with this information? thanks.

I’ve tried it as 50 and it’s still throwing the error.

all right …

Open a terminal and do this:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm list | grep electron

You will see something like this:

├─┬ electron-prebuilt@1.4.5
│ ├─┬ electron-download@3.0.1
npm ERR! peer dep missing: grunt@~0.4.0, required by grunt-yamllint@0.2.0

Note the version of electron, in this case it is 1.4.5, if it is different for you please replace the version accordingly.
Afterwards run this:

cd modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.5 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50

Now the module should not throw a version mismatch error any more.

I’ve had a quick browse but i’m struggling to find anything that works. If your able to post the command whenever you’re able to i’d really appreciate it! thanks.

Please search this forum for “version mismatch”. I’m on my smartphone right now, otherwise I would post the command necessary.
You need to rebuild the module with a special command providing the version info related to your system

I’ve been trying to instal this module, but i’m bumping into the issue of needing node module 53, as it was compiled with 48. I’ve been at this all day and i’m really struggling. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance!

Do you know any possible mistake i could have made?

{
  module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
  config: {
    sensorPIN: 23,
    powerSaving: true,
    relayPIN: false,
    relayOnState: 1
  }
},

or like this, because relayPIN is set to false by default

{
  module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
  config: {
    sensorPIN: 23,
    powerSaving: true,
    relayOnState: 1
  }
},

               {
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
				sensorPIN: 23,
                                powerSaving: true,
                                relayPIN: none,
                                relayOnState: 1
			}
		},

But it dosent work. Same problem as before.

But the only thing i added in my config.js file (which runs without the following lines) is:

               {
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
				sensorPIN: 23,
                                powerSaving: true,
                                relayPIN: none,
                                relayOnState: 1,
			}
		},

What is not working;

  • Do you still have the problem with the config.sys, when post your config.sys here.
  • Is the PIR not switching off you screen?
