PIR Motion Detection - White Screen

  • T

    When I try to run an “npm install” on the “MMM-PIR-Sensor” directory, i get the following error. Does anyone know what could be causing this, and go to resolve it? I am able to run the rest of the mirror, along with some other modules from this site without issue.

    Here is the error:

    Magic-Mirror-Module-PIR-Sensor@1.1.0 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
    electron-rebuild -e …/…/node_modules/electron-prebuilt
    An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild

    If i try to run the mirror with the information from the PIR module in the config file, i get the white screen. If i comment out the PIR section in the config.js file, i am able to run the mirror without issue.
