MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite not switching off
-
@djlagaffe It’s the one module I’ve never been able to make work… I’ve tried everyone I can find, I’ve check to make sure I have the correct pin number and that the PIR itself worked but I still can’t find one that does the job… I’ve not even had any luck with the EXT-PIR on 4th party modules and not been able to make that one work. I wish you all the best and I’ll be watching and hope you find the problem. I’ve been watching for some answers but not yet…
Good Luck

@N6NG did you run any of the python test scripts to verify that the sensor works outside of MagicMirror?
if it doesn’t, then MagicMirror can’t fix it…
-
@sdetweil No. are they yours?.. I’ll take a look…

@djlagaffe also note the info in the doc after the options table about problems with bullseye and/or buster
-
@sdetweil : I did check with the scripts and the PIR itself works. I have also activated the countdown timer, thus the communication between the PIR, the script and MM in general works. What I do not see is that the command to switch off the screen is executed (or even sent).
I have verified the script and the command to check whether the command itself works on my installation, and yes, it does.
So it should be something not triggering the switch-off / on command. However I have not been able to put my finger on it yet… -
@sdetweil : yes, however no luck or any log entry at all in pm2 logs mm - am I looking in the wrong place?
-
@sdetweil Sorry, one add-on no debug messages either in the logs, nor via npm run start:dev
-
Found the error - xrandr needs a sudo in front, otherwise it doesn’t execute.
-
@djlagaffe - I was able to get it working with xrandr with a small modification to the
node_helper.jsfile. I’ll submit a PR soon.
