      Hey,

      I did a fresh install of my MagicMirror and it works perfectly. Just the PIR-Sensor module is doing some weird stuff.

      It recognizes movements and show via the indicator.

      The problem is that the monitor does not turn on after the power saving maode and I have no idea why.

      The install is complete new with the newest raspian and the newest version of MM and so on.

      config:

      		{
      			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', 
      			position: "top_center", // Remove this line to avoid having an visible indicator
      			config: {
      				sensorPin: 25,
      				powerSavingDelay: 60, // Turn HDMI OFF after 60 seconds of no motion, until motion is detected again
      				//preventHDMITimeout: 4, // Turn HDMI ON and OFF again every 4 minutes when power saving, to avoid LCD/TV timeout
      				//supportCEC: true, 
      				presenceIndicator: "fa-eye", // Customizing the indicator
      				presenceOffIndicator: "fa-eye", // Customizing the indicator
      				presenceIndicatorColor: "#f51d16", // Customizing the indicator
      				presenceOffIndicatorColor: "#2b271c" // Customizing the indicator
      			}
      		}
      

      Perhaps someone has a nice idea.
      I have no idea if have something to change in the power sving mode at the OS or some other stuff.
      In the past configuration before approx. 1 year with normal updates it works like a charm.

      Thank you in advance.

        Have you also switched on the GPIO’s in the RASPBIAN operating system?

          @icemanmw What du you mean exactly by turning on the gpio?

          I added the user to the gpio group and the indicator shows that it detecting movement.

          So let me know, which command do you by turning on the gpio.

          Thank you in advance :)

              Thanks,

              I thought the remote connection is for entering the GPIO via LAN because the setup is completely wired at the pi.

              Best :)

                Unfortunatley, it doens not change any behavior.

                If I pu in this in to the command line:

                gpio read 25
                Unable to determine hardware version. I see: Hardware   : BCM2835
                ,
                 - expecting BCM2708 or BCM2709. Please report this to projects@drogon.net
                

                I got this error. Could this be related to the problem with the screen?

                  I solved by my own.
                  I did fresh install and using the script of @sdetweil to install MagicMirror and mmpm of @bee-mar install all modules I saved my old config that all stuff was easy and fast.

                  Thanks for your help.
