MMM-PIR-Sensor not work after v2.25

JoeFranz

Thanks to the great help from @sdetweil, my MagicMirror is now running again after the last update. I was able to fix problems with two modules myself. I just can’t get the MMM PIR sensor module to work. I tried this, and so far it has always worked after an update. Unfortunately not now…
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
cd MMM PIR sensor
npm i magicmirror rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

Anyone an idea?

Greetings Jörg

JoeFranz

@sdetweil Ok, I managed it :-)
Now everything is working again as it was before the update, thank you again :-)

sdetweil

@JoeFranz if you ran my upgrade script it should fix that

you MUST install electron-rebuild in the base node_modules and execute it from there while in the module folder.

see the postinstall script in my fixed fork

@sdetweil after npm install:

@JoeFranz did you run this while the command prompt is in the module folder?

JoeFranz

@sdetweil yes

sdetweil

@JoeFranz I am confused

(base) sam@sams:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor$ npm install

and

node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e …/…/node_modules/electron

this is HIS BROKEN postinstall which tries to execute it from the MODULE node_modules… which WILL NOT WORK anymore

I have a script which checks if it is installed in the base, if not installs it and THEN executes it FROM the base (note the leading … to point back to the base… )

../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

do this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR_Sensor

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MMM-PIR-Sensor/master/postinstall >postinstall

chmod +x postinstall

./postinstall

OR rename the existing module folder to some other name
git clone and npm install mine…

no code changes… just this packaging for rebuild

JoeFranz

@sdetweil I renamed the folder and reinstalled the module, this is the result:

@JoeFranz said in MMM-PIR-Sensor not work after v2.25:

“/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/node_modules/.bin/node-gyp” “rebuild”

no… still using the wrong MMM-PIR-Sensor distro

delete the one you have and do

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone 
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
npm install

JoeFranz

@sdetweil ok, that worked now, my mistake :-(
I also made updates for the pi, unfortunately I now also have the latest firmware version: 82f3750a65fadae9a38077e3c2e217ad158c8d54 from March 2023. I’ve had that before, so the monitor on the pi doesn’t go into standby. I now need to downgrade the firmware to version 5.10 (b976c54917e240630c05a9b383010f1492bc61b4). When I try with “sudo rpi-update b976c54917e240630c05a9b383010f1492bc61b4” it says that the firmware is already up to date.

sdetweil

@JoeFranz sorry on the firmware, don’t know how to downgrade firmware
