PIR Sensor doesnt detect movement

1BlauNitrox

Hey guys,
I am currently working on my Magic Mirror and want to add an PIR Sensor to it.
I use the MMM-PIRModule to turn the monitor off and on.

When I run the program by npm run start the mirror starts but the minotor instantly turns off and never on again. I dont`t know if the sensor is broken or if I just configured something wrong.

The config looks like this:

{
	module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
	config: {
		sensorPIN: 14,
		powerSaving: true,
		offDelay: 30000,
	}
}

If you need more information tell me.

@1BlauNitrox try pin 22 and use this configuration.

     	{
    		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
    		config: {
    			sensorPin: 22,
                            powerSaving: true,
                            powerSavingDelay: 30,
    		}
    	},

@tanvir586 Yeah, I worked. Thank you.

But there is one issue. When the monitor turns off, there is a blue screen for about 5 seconds…
How can I fix this?

@1BlauNitrox I don’t think you can fix it. Looks like it’s monitor settings. After 30 seconds raspberry cut the hdmi power then your monitor should go to sleep straight away. But it’s delaying 5 ses. Try the monitor settings if you can find a option that goes to sleep straight away.

@tanvir586 my monitors (multiple brands) put up the no input panel for 15 minutes (the energystar spec defined timeout)
not able to change it…

@tanvir586 I think every monitor has the same behaviour. When you cut the hdmi signal there will be a blue screen “No input signal”.

@1BlauNitrox I used AOC monitor and it doesn’t do it. After hdmi power cut it shows no signal and go to sleep straight away. No blue screen.

@tanvir586 lucky… pre-energystar

@tanvir586 can you send me a link to your monitor?

@1BlauNitrox it’s 28 inch lcd monitor. Few years old. Don’t know the model
