<p dir="auto">I just repaired my connection of the PIR Sensor and the Pi. Doing so i thought this should be it and the sensor work again.</p>
<p dir="auto">However: For some reason the Module is not working as intended.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Intention:</strong><br />
Monitor being on for 20s when movement has been registered</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Current behavior:</strong><br />
Either being ONLY when movement is detected or CONSTANTLY on</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Status Quo:</strong><br />
The old code i have used and worked is as follows:</p>
<pre><code>{
	module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
	config: {
		     sensorPin: 14,
		     powerSaving: true,
	             OffDelay: 20000,
	}

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Doing so will have the monitor turned off instantly unless i move.</p>
<pre><code>{
	module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
	config: {
		     sensorPin: 14,
		     powerSaving: true,
	             powerSavingDelay: 15,
	}

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">this code will have the MM on “forever” (well i havent been standing infront of the mirror for minutes… so i cant tell if forever…) at least not after 15s</p>
<p dir="auto">I am a bit at a loss as to what has changed… i have not updated any modules or the MM… reconecting the pin 17 to the sensor was all I did…</p>
<p dir="auto">Any help is highly appreciated</p>

Thanks for the links. I ran the 2nd script and it came back with constant “motion detected” and “motion stopped” while there was I wasnt moving.</p>
<p dir="auto">Which is a bit strange as the only thing i did was reconnect the existing cable to pin 17… (the soldering came off)</p>

<p dir="auto">One question: du u use a pull-down or pull-up resistor?</p>
<p dir="auto">If not this might be ur problem, the gpio will detect random activation, it really needs a pull-up or pull-down resistor to work properly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope it helps a bit.</p>

Just tried it with another pin (pin 20) and the results are completly different. So i am not sure what to make out of the infos i get from the script.</p>
<p dir="auto">Gosh this is such a bummer that the sensor for some reason decided to quit…</p>
<p dir="auto">Guess i will have to build in a switch or something to turn on the  mirror for X minutes and use the existing script for it</p>

<p dir="auto">I would test it outside MagicMirror to insure it’s working correctly.</p>
<p dir="auto">there are a few python scripts you can use.<br />
a Google search brings up two as the first choices</p>
