MMM-Pir or MMM-PIR-Sensor

svenpisa

I don’t understand that. I have done it exactly according to the tutorial and via

sudo python motion_sensor.py

to test the Pir. I could not recognize a new line immediately after a movement, but a line is generated every 5 seconds.
Since the tutorial says that the sensor waits 5 seconds until it queries again, I would have thought that it would work since the 1 is specified.

But now an entry is created directly every 5 seconds

I am open to all modules and settings to get the PIR up and running. If only I knew how to do it…

@svenpisa I don’t know exactly the problem…

the 5 second thing is in the code, not the PIR

it sounds like the pin number you are using is wrong, or the code is expecting no heat to be 0 and heat to be 1 ( pull up)

there are three different pin numbering orders and they are all different. sequential on the pi, and two others I can never remember.

until you get the python script showing motion/no motion, it cannot work under MagicMirror

svenpisa

Just for fun, I have now entered a different GPIO pin in sensor.py and started sudo python motion_sensor.py. Nothing happens here. So I have already selected the correct pin. But as you say, it’s probably the script.
How can I uninstall the motion sensor again? Simply delete the folder or is there a clean way?
I guess I’ll have to look for another solution, won’t I?

sdetweil

@svenpisa yes, just delete the folder

I have the same problem. The Module is not working, I tried so many parameter changes. Besides that I tried to read the values of the PIR with a python script and is working. To power on/off the monitor via console is working too. I don’t know what to try else

@Andrei-Leahu can you show the info from npm start.
Right after
starting application

@Andrei-Leahu thanks. Bullseye, 64bit,

@bugsounet will have to look at this

bugsounet

@sdetweil I know but MMM-Pir v2 is under-coding

In all case:

[MMM-Pir] [LIB] [PIR] Mode 0 Selected (onoff library) : onoff library will be removed
[MMM-Pir] [LIB] [SCREEN] Mode 1: vcgencmd : vcgencmd will be removed
