      Hello! I guess waht module is doing it tells to other modules (via sensocketnotification method) kind of “hey I detected motion”. But first of all, after launching npm start keep looking at the console and check for module errors.

          I’ve been reading lots of other modules and they all have instructions that say to use the " npm install" command… Do I need to do that for this mod?

          I’m sorry but there were NO instructions with this mod, and I’m NOT a technical person.

            @Centurion I haven’t used that module though. But for what purposes do you wanna use motion sensor - just to trigger screen on/off in case human body detected? If so check out PIR-motion sensor from 3rd party modules on github.
            I guess these module is still under development.
            P.S: In RPi terminal - is your console (you opening Terminal (black window) and in order to launch MagicMirror software you type into Terminal - “npm start”)

              @Sultan91 Thanks, I ordered those parts on Amazon too since I haven’t gotten much response here.

              Really hope that one’s easier to figure out.

              I launch MM by typing “pm2 start mm”. How do people watch the console after they launch it? Someone said to check the logs…?
