Pir sensor

[tanvir586]

Is there any working pir sensor exists? Pir sensor light is not working for me

[sdetweil]

@tanvir586 what is not working?

lite is the one that was updated most recently

[tanvir586]

@sdetweil I put the countdown for 1 min. but when the countdown start it goes to 54 then it go back to 1 min again.

my config is
{
module: “MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
sensorPin: 2, // GPIO pin
}
}

and the .js is
defaults: {
sensorPin: 0, // GPIO pin
commandType: ‘xrandr’, // Type of command used
title: “Automatic Standby”,
rotation: ‘normal’,
deactivateDelay: 1 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
updateInterval: 1000, // 1 second
animationSpeed: 1000, // 1 second
showCountDown: true,
showDetection: true,
hoursLabel: ‘h’,
minutesLabel: ‘m’,
secondsLabel: ‘s’,
},

@tanvir586 said in Pir sensor:

and the .js is

never edit the module js file

all config goes in config.js

I don’t know the module

does the PIR work outside MM?

[tanvir586]

@sdetweil it work like https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor
mmm-pir-sensor is not working anymore that’s why I wanted to use the light one. but this one is not working looks like

[sdetweil]

@tanvir586 no, my question was , if u test the PIR connection/setup outside of MM does it work

using a python script?

I undertstand how it is SUPPOSED to work , and have tested modules on one of my systems before, but don’t
use PIR daily

@sdetweil Hi mate. Sorry I don’t know how to do that. I’m not a programming person. I’m copy past person actually 🤣

This is what I use to put my monitor to sleep using a PIR sensor. I have a 3D printed case for the sensor that hangs under the mirror itself. The sensor does not have anything to do with the magic mirror software at all, in fact it just puts the monitor to sleep when no one is in the area.

@pugsly right, just trying to help w the debug. lots of things can go wrong, so, it’s best to start at the beginning before getting MM involved.

[tanvir586]

@pugsly I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks

[tanvir586]

@sdetweil thanks mate. Will check this in detail once I go home

[tanvir586]

Thanks guys for your help. But I recovered my old sd card which had magicmirror 2.19 installed. Pir sensor work with that version. I’m back on truck.

If you’re still looking for a working PIR sensor module, I’m using EXT-Pir and it has been great

[sdetweil]

@tanvir586 might be the os firmware, which has reported problems w gpio interrupts

[tanvir586]

@j-e-f-f Hi do I need MMM-GoogleAssistant for this? Or works on its own?

[j.e.f.f]

@tanvir586 No need for google assistant. Works fine without it.

[tanvir586]

@j-e-f-f Feb… making another smart mirror soon. I’ll give it a try. Thanks 😊

[tanvir586]

@j-e-f-f Hi mate. Thinking to install EXT-Pir now. Just one question do I need EXT-Screen to make it work. If yes how can I configure both module? Thanks

[j.e.f.f]

@tanvir586 no need to install Ext-Screen. You can use Ext-PIR on its own.
