[MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing

STEFF92

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks, now the config file and the magic mirror surface are running but there is no response from the sensor. i have moved the potentiometer but the screen doesnt turn off. Do you know any possible mistake i could have made?

@STEFF92 I guess you might defined the wrong pin number according on your setup you use gpio23 which is pin 16 in this diagram https://forum.magicmirror.builders/uploads/files/1485851152518-raspberry-pi-15b.jpg, but I never did something with the gpio of the pi

Hi all,

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!

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

@yawns Cheers for this. 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.

@Oliver_Tooth

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.

@yawns Hi! my prebuilt version was slightly different, so i changed that in the target= field, does the abi= number need to be 53, not 50? I’ve tried it as 50 and it’s still throwing the error.

Oliver_Tooth

@yawns I’ve been reading up further on this, and i’ve found that version 53 doesn’t actually exist yet, and 51 is currently the latest. Have you any idea how i’d get this to work with this information? thanks.

hi there,

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?
