[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

Jopyth

@Mar Please change your package.json file as displayed here and execute npm install again. @paviro has not yet responded to my PR, but hopefully this will get merged in sooner or later.

@Jopyth It finally worked!!! :lifter_tone2: thanks so much. Ive spent days on this :(

Tried this last link you provided previously before posting but nothing was working, your support around getting node updated (and npm) was all that needed to happen first.

Thanks again!

@Jopyth Though looks like its failing on the config file now, Do you see any issues with the following?

               {
                        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                        config: {
                                sensorPin: 17,
                        }
                },

i seem to get an error and MM doesnt load when this is in the config file. I can even have disabled:true and it loads, otherwise I’ll get a blank webpage.

@Mar for anyone else who is getting this an npm rebuild fixes it. from here https://github.com/atom/apm/issues/635

Hey, thanks for advising us how to install the modules, but I´m still struggling to find a solution for me even after updating nodejs and npm to the latest builts…
Similar error with corrected package.json.

Unable to find electron-prebuilt's version number, either install it or specify an explicit version

I even tried the npm rebuild @Mar suggested. My last attempt to get this working was updating electron to its newest version but this didn´t help either.
Is there anything I could further try to install this module correctly?

Mar

@Jay I forgot what I did here to fix this issue. But to be honest after I got this working it still wasnt perfect. I ended going the route of a script on startup that controls the PIR sensor and its been perfect since and simple.

fox

did you install the fix? or is this now obsolet?

Jopyth

@fox This PR should have fixed the issue (it is merged into the master).

Are you running MagicMirror 2.1.0? And is your PIR-Module up-to-date? Try updating both (see this and do it in both directories) to the newest version.

I deleted PIR Sensor completely. And made a new installation of this module and it installed without Problems. looks good from now
